Being Smuggled Across the Rio Grande

Brian Ross Reports:
The FBI is investigating an alleged human smuggling operation based
in Chaparral, N.M., that agents say is bringing "Iraqis and other
Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico.
An FBI intelligence report distributed by the Washington, D.C.
Joint Terrorism Task Force, obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com,
says the illegal ring has been bringing Iraqis across the border
illegally for more than a year.
Border Patrol officials in the area said they were unaware of the
specifics of the FBI's report, and federal prosecutors in New
Mexico told ABCNews.com they had no current cases involving the
illegal smuggling of Iraqis.
The FBI report, issued last week, says the smuggling organization
"used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other
Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each
individual would be charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according
to the report.
The people to be smuggled would "gather at a house on the Mexican
side of the border" and then cross the Rio Grande into the U.S.,
the report says.
"Unidentified individuals would then transport them to train
stations in El Paso, Texas or Belen, New Mexico," according to the
FBI document.
A spokesman in Albuquerque said the FBI had "no viable information"
that could lead to a case.
Until recently, the United States has kept its doors all but shut
to the estimated two million refugees fleeing the violence in Iraq.
Until this year, the country had taken in fewer than 800 Iraqi
refugees, according to the State Department. This May, the Bush
administration pledged to resettle 7,000 Iraqi refugees here by the
end of the year.
