Hey, HJ!
Good to see you, pard!

Maybe some have seen illegals with enough money to fly or to pay someone to smuggle them in by air, but I've seen hundreds cross the border and I've yet to see one who appeared to have enough money to buy a taco, much less an airline ticket.
As far as their future employers paying for their ticket, what employer is going to invest that much money in an illegal he's never seen?

JackelopeBreeder has discovered what he thinks is a travel route for more affluent illegals. The poor ones, like the ones you see, come up along the river. The ones with money are crossing at the Coronado National Monument and traveling along the higher ridges and into the canyons leading down to the state highway that runs through Sierra Vista.

They fly from the Yucatan to Guadalajara, then take a bus or private vehicle to the border towns.

I have a big stack of tickets sitting here on my desk. People are flying into Hermosillo from all over Mexico before taking the short taxi or bus ride to the border. A lot of these people are not escaping off the bean farm.

I constantly find backpacks full of very high quality clothing and cosmetics. One of my daughter's friends found a bag full of very fancy jewelry which turned out to be genuine -- found a block from my house and some senora is still mourning that loss.
