Doesn’t that suggest using Americans as your mules is the riskiest? Ima think most volume is moved via cargo or tunnels.

- fauxpause_ 4y agoIt does not suggest that. Sending with non Americans may simply be so likely to fail that it’s not worth trying.
- olivermarks 4y agoBizarre thread. The Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels run China origin fentanyl in California. It is an enormous, industrial scale operation.
- olivermarks 4y agoI had a young relative I chased around to try and get clean for years before he OD'd on opioids in a bay area Air BnB with his girlfriend. He would order laminated 'diving certificates' with drugs encased in them by mail, and other postal deliveries that were clearly really drug shipments. There is little reason for mules when 18 wheelers are bringing in hidden drug shipments from Mexico and the postal service are delivering deadly drugs from India as was the case with the San Jose police union dealer.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoNo, the relevant stat would be % likelihood of being caught for Americans vs non-Americans. Even if 90% of the people caught are Americans, if the number of Americans actually doing the smuggling outnumber non-Americans 20x, then that means they're lower-risk.
