FBI: Iraqis Being Smuggled Across the Rio Grande
[ABC News] Brian Ross - The FBI is investigating a human smuggling operation based in Chaparral, N.M., that has been bringing "Iraqis and other Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico for more than a year. An FBI report issued last week says the smuggling organization "used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each individual paid $20,000 to $25,000.
