Spring Break sees the sleepy island community of South Padre Island, which has just over 5,000 people, transformed as an estimated 100,000 college kids descend for a non-stop party on the Texas beach
For businesses and the city itself, the influx means a bumper payday with students spending $3.1 million on alcohol alone last year and providing South Padre with an overall windfall of $33.9 million
But DailyMail.com can reveal that the overwhelming numbers mean the local police department has to draft in officers from other Texas cities – among them border towns such as Los Indios
Police chief Jose De La Rosas, 30, says his small department frequently sends officers to South Padre – even though their area butts up against territory controlled by the notorious Golfos Cartel
In South Padre, the focus is more on keeping college students out of trouble and mitigating the worst of their excesses, according to the island's police chief and interim city manager Randy Smith
There are outrageous antics, including 'a**-luging' – where beer is poured over a girl's behind to be drunk by a boy – while men were seen handing out beads in exchange for a look at and a squeeze of women's breasts
Brooke Patterson, 21, of the University of Kansas, said: 'The whole week is full of people who just don't give a f***. Come here right now, get lit with your friends – it's the best vacation ever!'
Some boys told DailyMail.com the main reason they came to South Padre is to pick up women, with Hassan Boyer, 20, of Northern Illinois University, saying: 'We're going to make that baby and meet 30 years later'

Forty pictures at site...
Look what college loans are used for?.
“Lets Padre!” Ahem, I might gone to the same college as one of those mentioned in the article and spent my spring break the same way years ago.
“pick up women”
from the curb.
Jeez, I'm getting old.
In my day college girls were normal sized.
Although they weren't much better behaved ;)
Golfos Cartel?
I’ve seen those guys.
They wear ugly pants, no longer have sex and are constantly chasing after the next hole...
I have noticed that both Panama City and South Walton County are trying to discourage the Spring Breakers. Well at least discourage the ones causing trouble.
One change is no alcohol on the sand. Also heavy police presence.
At one time PC was the number one destination. Not sure if it still is.
It’s Cartel del Golfos (Gulf Cartel).
I just hope that nothing awful happens to any of those girls. Guys, too, really. Living with indelible regrets can be a horrible thing; and in this case, just so unnecessary.
You know damn well that in every crowd, there are predators. Why not just take a girl you really care for to a nice hotel and avoid the crowds, the margaritaville scenario, etc.?
Too late. Just look at those pictures. Already happened.
It wasn’t me. Wait a second. When was this?
“Youth is wasted on the young”.
Hasson Boyer is going to make a great dad. /S
Them are some ugly college girls. Skanky, too.

Truly! What a shame..
More Democrat voters - drunks, sluts, predators and future failures.
Agree! ...Seems the majority of good looking girls decided to go elsewhere for Spring Break.
REMEMBER, it is a FEDERAL responsibility of protecting our borders.
They are not just up there in DC to lie to us.
