Kids have historically turned to any manner of means to earn cash—mow lawns, walk dogs, rake leaves—but these days there are more, ah, varied ways for youngsters to earn a few bucks:
Mexican drug cartels are exploiting American teenagers into big paydays if they assist in the human trafficking crisis at the southern border – specifically paying them $1,000 per head to traffic illegal alien migrants to Texas' largest city, Fox Business has learned.
On Monday, "Mornings with Maria" host Maria Bartiromo shared exclusive photos of a pickup truck reportedly driven by one of those teenagers that had flipped over into a culvert while transporting 13 illegal aliens in its cab toward Houston.
Bartiromo said some of the photos came from Jackson County Sheriff A.J. Louderback, whose jurisdiction sits about two-thirds of the way from the Rio Grande to Houston.
"You have these teenagers with cars back and forth from the border to Houston all day long," she said.
Yeah, we have some advice for American teenagers living on the border: Choose a different vocation. Consider delivering newspapers! It's time-honored and much safer than human smuggling.
Okay, mostly safer.
