Tijuana,
Part 11
America’s drug
laws are capricious and entrepreneurs who once specialized in
cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana now transport
“undocumented immigrants" instead. The diversity of
the peoples leaving Tijuana for the north is astounding. The rich
cultures of Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Afghanistan and even Chechnya
all blend in Tijuana and become one with their guide who leads
them to America.
Yes, The Cartel, with
all that implies, is now running the people smuggling business
and “undocumenteds” are assisted by real professionals
in their crossing of the border.
The cost for a Mexican
to be led across the Tijuana area frontier is about $2,000. The
cost for someone from Iran or Afghanistan can be well over $20,000.
To make matters worse,
militant Islam is now flooding Mexico and even gaining substantial
numbers of converts. The interlinking of these Muslim cells is
called the “Jihadi Spider Web.” Most of these cells
operating in Mexico link directly to cells in Los Angeles, California,
USA.
Another way one can
measure the level of cooperation between the drug lords of Afghanistan
and the drug cartels of Mexico is in the new sport of beheading.
Human heads are washing up on the beaches of Acapulco. They are
being plopped on the dance floors of popular nightclubs. They
are even rolling down the streets of Tijuana.
