Smugglers Can Earn $200,000 Because of Border Surge

KFI:

Victoria Perez spent 10 months as a migrant smuggler and made $200,000 over that time.

According to Washington Times the $200,000 she earned for what was essentially part-time work exceeds the annual salary of a member of Congress. It works out to three times the starting pay for Border Patrol agent. Perez was a gig worker, contracting herself as a driver for a much larger organization.

The surge of illegal immigrants is enriching the cartels. That’s true to an extent, but most of the money ends up not in the hands of the Gulf Cartel or Zetas, but in the pockets of people like Perez.

“Demand is so strong that the prices are going up. There’s huge huge money being made right now.” said Todd Bensman, a fellow at the huge Center for Immigration Studies who tracks smuggling tactics. more

  1. HA!
    That’s $200,000…..tax free!
    But, not to worry, US peons will pick up the slack in the loss of tax revenue, because we all know the government absolutely, positively has to have every single penny they can get their grubby little hands on so that money can be totally wasted on illegal aliens or some other BULLSHIT.

    The system is totally screwed and only American patriots can save it.

    Yeah but, congress works part-time and retire with their salary for life (not counting their $million dollar campaign funds) The cartel, smugglers and many in Congress are equally corrupt.

    And then at another time he got caught up in his dementia and said, “Look, look… You’re not going to pay any taxes, folks”. But he didn’t mention taxes in the sentences before. His brain is feral.
    Like his family.
