A 2-year investigation has resulted in the indictments of 29 people and 86 criminal charges relating to a cartel connected-human smuggling operation in South Texas.
The investigation which began in Atascosa County, Texas, tied in a suspected human smuggling operation that stretched from the border to as far as San Antonio and Houston. Atascosa County, located around the town of Pleasanton about 40 miles south of San Antonio, became the focal point of the investigation as authorities uncovered a stash house where up to 250 illegal immigrants per month were being smuggled, information provided to Breitbart Texas by Atascosa County District Attorney Gene Peña revealed.

“We are sure there is cartel involvement.” Peña explained. “This is a huge profit item for them. As long as the demand side keeps asking for cheap labor, slave labor or sex slaves, these cartels will keep supplying the product.”
Human smuggling should be a capital offense.
were it not for a boy in the white house, the human trafficking would not exist.
the incompetent black president is the reason for the problem
I’m surprised the US government even bothers or cares.
>>There is a huge business in human trafficking<<
Yep and no doubt middle eastern men with ill intentions have used this cartel network to get into this country.
Who will be held responsible if they pull off another mass slaughter of innocent Americans?
“Who will be held responsible if they pull off another mass slaughter of innocent Americans?”
The demonrats will blame Donald Trump
>>the incompetent black president<<
Negro’ pendejo en la casa blanco.
Far more sinister than the “doing the jobs amercans don’t want to do” meme would suggest.
The collateral suffering the cheap labor express enables is the real story. Another great reason to build the wall.
“I’m surprised the US government even bothers or cares.”
They don’t.
This is a State of Texas operation to arrest them.
Only the federal government has jurisdiction to decide not to care. Texas needs to stay out of it /s/
BUILD THE WALL
Send illegals HOME - all of ‘em.
Destroy the profit motive and smugglers will turn to other crimes... hopefully in Mexico - NOT here.

George Bush for getting us into an immoral war in Iraq, the Republicans in Congress for stopping education and jobs which would have kept them from being radicalized, and bigots like Trump calling for a halt to their massive importation making them even madder at us.
But then, you knew already that, didn't you?
