When public school teachers aren't busy destroying America by smuggling wokeness into their lessons, it looks like they're taking the more direct route by smuggling illegal aliens across the border.

At least that's the case for this Houston middle school teacher who was caught trafficking people into the United States across the Mexican border.

Brandan Garcia of Patrick Henry Middle School in Houston was stopped by authorities trying to sneak 4 illegal aliens across the border in the Texas border city of Eagle Pass, Texas.

"What we're gathering is he was contacted on social media, wanted to make some quick money, came to the border and picked up at a pre-determined location and was headed back to Houston," Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe said, according to Fox 26.

"The individuals were in the backseat laying down trying to conceal themselves," Coe added.

Here's local news coverage of the incident:

Garcia attempted to smuggle 2 men and 2 women across the border. They hid in the back of his vehicle, but authorities were able to spot and stop the crime.

Police have not disclosed how much Garcia was paid for trafficking the illegal aliens, but it's not uncommon for traffickers to charge $1,000 to $5,000 for their services.

This comes as illegal immigration is reaching unprecedentedly high levels under the Biden administration, with millions crossing the border since President Biden took office.
