The New York Times reports on this phenomenon. Unfortunately, the rush to rapidly expand the ranks in the Border Patrol will bring these kinds of problems.

#4Editing a commenthmm, you are correct. The answer is to increase the punishment for allowing the drugs in, remove quotas for work-based temporary visits/immigration (including the low-skilled type), and significantly relax family based immigration quotas. That will allow people who are coming for work to cross legally and thus will drain coyotes of monetary resources. But I doubt the last two will happen in the next 10 years.

#5Editing a commentLNLW:, I think you are correct too, no dramatic immigration increase will be happening in near future, so why consider it as a realistic option? This is an empty dream.

#6Editing a commenthmm, the alternative would be to have steep punishment for Border Patrol for allowing drugs and not so steep for allowing people. This way, the people moving will be more profitable for both Border Patrol and coyotes, and people will not die in the desert. In some strange way, it's a win-win.
