Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday most illegal immigrants entering Arizona are being used to transport drugs across the border.
Brewer said the motivation of "a lot" of the illegal immigrants is to enter the United States to look for work, but that drug rings press them into duty as drug "mules."
"I believe today, under the circumstances that we're facing, that the majority of the illegal trespassers that are coming into the state of Arizona are under the direction and control of organized drug cartels and they are bringing drugs in," Brewer said.
"There's strong information to us that they come as illegal people wanting to come to work. Then they are accosted and they become subjects of the drug cartel," she said.
Brewer spoke Friday when asked about comments she made in a recent election debate among Republican candidates for governor.
She said during the June 15 debate that she believed that most illegal immigrants were not entering the United States for work. She then associated illegal immigrants with drug smuggling, drop houses, extortion and other criminal activity.

ReplyDeleteDrug kingpins offer a service to those wishing to come to the U.S. illegally. This service is protection and an escort across the border. The cost of this service is $2500.00 each. If the person wishing to cross doesn't have the money, they can work it off as a mule, carrying drugs across the border. Once they cross, they meet their contact to deliver the drugs. After that they meet with another contact - often tied to other hispanics within the catholic church - that hide them briefly in safehouses and disperse them throughout the country. It happens right here on the eastern shore. There is one such safehouse on Rt. 50 in Mardela. This is a nationwide epidemic. If the Federal Government refuses to do anything about it, the states should. If the states refuse to do anything about it, then it's up to we the people.
ReplyDeletewhere in mardela
