EL PASO, Texas - Mexican Consulate officials in El Paso, Texas, said Mexican drug cartels have been posting help-wanted ads in Juarez, Mexico, newspapers.
The officials said publications including P.M., El Diario de Juarez and El Norte have been printing vague help-wanted ads that are designed to trick young people into smuggling drugs over the border into the United States, the Las Cruces (N.M.) Sun-News reported Friday.
Mexican Consulate spokeswoman Socorro Cordova said the issue came to the attention of officials nine months ago when the family of a driver stopped at the U.S. border showed the ad to Mexican officials.
A Juarez woman who identified herself as Martha said her daughter was duped by one of the ads into accepting a job with a junkyard company that required her to drive twice a week to El Paso. Martha said her daughter was met at the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.
"It was like they sent them a fax or something," she said. "Officers came out of everywhere and they let the other cars pass. This is what they are doing. They are tricking kids."

Clever diversionary tactic; tie up the cops and then drive right on by with the real junk.

This is the same old method of crossing the bridge with small amounts and stashing them in a “safehouse” until they get a tractor trailer load to run the inland checkpoints.
These people knew exactly what they were doing.
The good part: Things must be getting tight on the border.
The bad part: NAFTA and the SUPER CORRIDOR will do away with this minor inconvenience.
