Good article from '92. And a
current assessment.
Drug (and people) smugglers aren't obvious. That's why they call it smuggling

I visited BB once in 1962. I went to the Rio Grande River, and thought to myself, just a few splashes and I could be in another country. I could see the folks on the other side. Sort of a strange feeling.
But, that was before all the smuggling and the so-call "War on Drugs!"
If we didn't use them, they wouldn't grow and smuggle them.
