Savvy smugglers in Mexico are using young children as decoys to distract U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and move people and drugs into the country, a serious problem illustrated in a video posted to Twitter on Monday.
The video, posted by CBP San Diego, shows exactly how it’s done, and why a bigger, better barrier could make a big difference.
Last night, a human smuggler dropped two young Salvadoran girls, 6 and 9, from the aging border barrier behind concertina wire. As agents vacated their patrol positions in response, 10 people crossed illegally nearby. They eluded capture. #USBP #CBP #BORDER #BORDERSECURITY pic.twitter.com/t2QNmQLpoK
