The dark underbelly of the US-Mexico border has been laid bare in the sleepy town of El Paso, Texas. The situation is dire, with thousands of aliens and illicit liquor slipping into the country undetected. It’s a brazen operation, with rum runners making it easy for foreigners denied legal entry to cross the border without the formalities. But the price is steep – these aliens must pay to play, packing sacks laden with tequila, whiskey, and beer as they wade across the Rio Grande, weighed down by the contraband every night.
