TUCSON - You've warned your kids about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, maybe even the dangers of gangs. But here's something you have never warned them about -- the danger of being recruited to work for a Mexican drug cartel.
Cartels are thriving in the U.S. and looking for teens to join them.
Smugglers, cartel members and gangs are going after American teens, promising them easy money.
Border Patrol agents in Tucson say they have arrested teens as young as 15. Agents say the legal ramifications are high, and the possibility of death at the hands of the cartel is likely.
The young couriers are asked to drive a load of drugs or even people to a drop off spot. In turn, the teens are given a couple hundred bucks. Its fast, easy money, but it could cost them their lives.
"Once they join the cartel, they are a tool, just a slave," says Eric Cantu, from the Border Patrol in Tucson. "If you don't do it, they will wipe you out, erase you."
Border Patrol agents are reaching out to high school students living near the Arizona border. Agents play a movie for teens, showing them the ruthless nature of the cartel.
18-year-old Rene Castaneda says he has seen some of his high school friends sell drugs.
"I think they do make a lot of money, there's some people who push it, they come to school every week with a new pair of Jordans," says Castaneda. "Probably makes them feel powerful, they can get what they want."
The cartels rope in underage teens by promising them immunity from the law, but these teens will be prosecuted and most likely spend time in jail, says Agent Cantu.
Smugglers do not gender discriminate. Cantu described to us a 15-year-old girl who was arrested for driving a couple hundred pounds of marijuana. Even young girls are being recruited.

"If you don't do it, they will wipe you out, erase you...from their seminar invitation list."
"I think they do make a lot of money, there's some people who push it, they come to school every week with a new pair of Jordans," says Castaneda. "Probably makes them feel powerful, they can get what they want."
Probably just some spoiled ass suburbanite "stoner." Cause really, whats the first thing after clothes people buy when they have money? More clothes? Fuck no, a car or something pimp.

What a dumb article. Yeah the cartels will wipe you out/erase you but thats if you do something dumb and fuck with their shit like try to steal, snitch, etc. These kids are precious "tools" to the cartels because they project an non-suspicious profile and will accept far smaller sums of cash than a career smuggler would demand. Its not like they go around recruiting a kid for one job just to kill them, these ganglords are businessman.
This is no different than having 10-14 year olds running dope in the hood for the pushers so if they get bopped the police can't really do much besides juvi at most.

this article could easily have been about the everlasting supply of guns(sitting around collecting dust)
the corruption that lets the cartels get away with murder
and the power they have over the lives of everyone who are just trying to move on life but cant because of all this militarization
but no, your kids are in troubles because they're buying sneakers

Part of me hopes we have a huge epidemic of the cartel wiping out people in their drug frenzy. Maybe then decriminalization won't sound too bad to our law makers.
