  • “The southwest border is the primary route for the transfer of illicit drug proceeds fueling Mexico’s drug trafficking organizations. According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, Mexican and Colombian drug trafficking organizations “annually generate, remove, and launder between $18 billion and $39 billion in wholesale distribution proceeds”, much of it across the Southwest border. Trucks filled with bulk cash literally are being driven across the U.S. – Mexico border to fund the drug trafficking organizations.”
