Caught On Tape: Coyote On Jet Ski Smuggles Mother And Child Into Texas
By Brandon Darby, Jul. 28, 2014, Breitbart.com
MCALLEN, Texas—A Mexican human smuggler was caught on tape by Breitbart Texas as he used a jet ski to bring a Central American woman and her infant into the U.S. illegally. The exclusive video shows the the smuggler, also known as a coyote, bringing the woman and infant across the Rio Grande River and then driving his jet ski back to Mexico alone. The woman and infant can be seen emerging from high grass on the U.S. side of the river. She then walked in plain view of U.S. authorities until a Border Patrol agent arrived and took the pair into custody.
The event occurred at Anzalduas Park in Mission, Texas. A dam immediately downstream of the area creates a small lake and Mexican smugglers routinely ride jet skis to smuggle humans and narcotics in the region. U.S. law enforcement is often powerless to stop the smugglers unless they set foot on U.S. soil.
Border Patrol agent Albert Spratte, speaking to Breitbart Texas as a spokesperson for the agents’ union, can be seen in the video describing the frequent occurrences of smuggling in the region.

My friend Julie was here while this was happening...this is what she said: The article doesn't mention that this happened just 200 yards from millions of dollars in equipment and manpower sent to the border to prevent this sort of thing. The point is, no matter how much money we spend, it means nothing if the laws that prevent us from stopping them aren't changed. Her husband actually took this picture! They were with the group of grassroots leaders from Texas.
