Since I don’t want to get sued, I didn’t call him a “smuggler” when I just posted on this. All we know is that he was convicted of Conspiracy to harbor and transport illegal aliens:

Someone could do a public service if they could look up the details of the case.
Harboring and transporting? Would that not be part of an effort/operation to smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S.?
The gentleman in question is my dear old father in law. He is a great guy and was on his way to the coffee shop one fine morning when he picked up a Mexican and drove him to the bus stop. The feds were there and saw this so the job was far easier than going out looking for someone harboring or employing illegals. They put him in the back of their car and drove him all the way to Brownsville without even allowing him to call his family. The prosecutor told him he should plead guilty or he could spend 100,000 or more to defend himself. So folks, that’s the rest of the story.
P.S. He is also a Vietnam Vet Fine country we live in.
