Looking for a new job?

Mexicans in Tijuana will pay you up to $1500 a piece to drive them across the border. If you are caught you receive no more than a slap on the wrist, the first time you are caught that is.

At the most, 1 in 50 vehicles is searched. Today's Wall Street Journal describes smuggling as "a mini employment boom" for single mothers, military personnel, and especially teenagers.

My prediction: This can't last forever.

Or, if you are looking for another job, you can drink pesticides, for $200 a day. I'd rather drive across the border.
