Mexican cartels often rely on weapons and cash from the United States making its way south to fund and support their operations as they send drugs and human cargo north across the border. Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas Port Director Carlos Rodriguez said.

Accordingly, “These types of bulk cash seizures, often proceeds from illegal activity, deny transnational criminal organizations the ability to profit from their illicit enterprises and exemplify CBP’s ongoing commitment to our priority border security mission”

Drugs have been found in some pretty unusual places. The border between Texas and Mexico is very important for drug cartels trying to smuggle their wares into the country.

Cartels are trying to sneak in any drug that you can think of.
