Easy -- the real problem is money, as in dirty money. The same cartels shipping the drugs have diversified their business interests and now ship humans as well. Quite lucrative in its own right.

The coyotes are now charging just about $1500 per Mexican, maybe $5000 per Latin American, on up to between $30,000 to $50,000 for Asians and Middle Easterners. The 94 illegals caught on the Fort were worth at least $141,000 to somebody. Not bad for a few days work.

Now look at the rest of the math. The Border Patrol admits catching 67,432 here in the last six months. Their experienced agents are of the opinion that they catch maybe one in five. So, that means 337,160 came through and 269,728 made a clean getaway. If all of that first figure were Mexicans with the hometown discounted $1500 fare, that means the cartels pocketed $505,740,000. Extrapolate it out for a full twelve months and it's over a billion green, before you even try to figure in the value of the drugs. That kind of money buys protection from politicians, police, and the military.

And that's just for one little 80 mile stretch of a 2000 mile border.
