Washington: Arizona authorities informed lawmakers in Washington that international criminal organisations charge an average of $21,000 to help Indians cross the US border illegally.
Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County, Arizona told members of the House Judiciary Committee this week that a criminal organization charged at least $7,000 to smuggle a foreign national into the United States.
Dannels said the border with Mexico is not safe. America’s southern border is occupied by international criminal organizations. They decide who will come. Their fees depend on who you are.
Responding to a question from Congressman Barry Moore, he said, “I think Indians are charged $21,000 but the minimum amount is $7,000.”
Most of these people don’t have that much money. So when they come into the country they are left as slaves of these organisations, which use it for prostitution, organised crime, drug trafficking and labour.
