Busted at the Border

well, all im saying is that from first hand experience i know this happens and yeah, if you offer more money they arent going to tell you its too much. i wouldnt. but alot of these folks use their jobs on the other side as a cover and are really mules. so 20 bucks extra for carrying some hormones across is not bad. little old ladies are notorious for taking shit across. whos gonna fuck with a poor old granny who is trying to scratch a living cleaning houses or working as a nanny on the other side? but these are the same ones taking heroin and coke across on a daily basis, and they do not get payed a whole lot. 500 bucks tops. for two keys. and really i feel stupid putting up that high of an amount. alot of times its much much less. especially for the ones that do it on a daily basis. hell, you can get some of these folks to take your shit across for 10 bucks. people in a third world country do not have a first world mentality. you have to realize this. do you know how much a mule makes for taking a shipment from southern mexico to the border? 1000 dollars. 10,000 pesos. the risk is big and its not too much cash for a truckload of heroin or coke. i wouldnt take such a chance for such little cash and neither would you. we agree on that. but alot of these folks feel they have nothing to lose. life is hard in mexico. young girls are disappearing everysingle day in places like juarez, nuevo laredo, and tijuana. this is a well known fact and has been happening for decades. but it happens everywhere along the border, not just in those three. there is just more media coverage of those three. prostitution is pampant, child pornography, rape, murder, even tourists are not safe. oh well, im starting to rave. i guess ive been here too long. living in mexico has really opened my eyes to a lot of shit bros. im not exaggerating either. i can tell you some stories if anyones interested. most of these i witnessed firsthand and some are stories i was told by folks who have seen alot more shit than me. i believe that was the original request on this thread. laters.

oh and no disrespect intended johnny b but the taste these folks get of the good old USA is not a very good one. who treats mexicans with dignity? especially the ones who cant speak english for shit. you think they dont realize they are the butt of most jokes. you think they dont get discriminated or sneered at every step of the way to work. you think they dress the way they dress because they find it fashionable to wear salvation army hand me downs? 20 bucks is not alot to you or me but to most of these folks it is quite a bit. thats almost a months rent if you live in a shitty one bedroom. in a shitty part of town thats what the rent costs. so dont let them charge you more because they will if you let them. and then they just see you as a fool. they will smile at the fool and take his money. maybe even point him out to the authorities for some extra cash on that end. you show you got money down here and you will get taken to the fuckin cleaners or jacked. 50 bucks is two weeks pay if you dont have a degree down here man. thats why everyone is doin something shady to make ends meet. and if they dont take your shit across for 10 or 20 bucks someone else will. its that simple.
 
Very few mexicans in Corpus Christi had high paying jobs. Most were shipyard laborers. We used to call Corpus north mexico. It is so easy to get illegal shit it mexico. I used to get prozac and zanex from mexico without a perscription. They dont give a shit, american dollars do them well. I also used to traffic alot digger things than that, never juice though. Didnt really know much about it then or I would have a life time supply of it now.
 
Yeah, Mexico is scary, the further south you go even the cops will fuck you over, and I dont just mean money. Cops have been known to rape women down there as well, really fucked up.
 
You have a point if they're already crossing every day to a low pay job, 5-10 guys offering $20.00 would be a nice bonus. Once they know you cross every day to go to work your chances are a lot better. I don't see anyone from TJ doing it for $20.00 but I could be wrong. The feeling there is your an American you have money $20.00 is nothing or they could take your $20.00 and your gear and resell it, if you try to act like their services arn't worth much. It's a two edged sword, if you don't know them personally you could be say bye to you 20 and gear.

True, I wouldn't mind paying more just to ensure that they are willing to go the extra mile to make sure I get it, and that they dont fuck me over.
 
I'd give $50-75 for someone to bring my gear across, I just don't need the hassle at my age of getting caught. Now if you work with someone or know someone that comes across' every day, I think your chances would be a lot better. I just can't see myself handy over money and gear to some one I don't know or hasn't been recommend by a good Bro.

Yeah, I am only partially tempted to attempt such a trip, just dont know enough and the risk is still there, all in the name of saving some moola - hmm.
 
LOL some time to save a little we have to spend a little. Get caught you'll spend a lot;) They get caught you lose a little, the gear and what ever you paid. You get caught you lose gear and money in fines.

JohnnyB
 
True, I worry though about getting caught with it after the hand off, dont know how that is done or how reliable it is. I dont live near enough to the border to be ultra tempted just yet.
 
been to TJ many times, hide your stuff well and you'll have no problems. Your biggest fear should be getting to the border. When I get to the border I know everything is going to be fine.
 
Ya no shit. There are rat fucks that will follow you after you leave the pharmacia and threaten you until you pay cash. I had one do me that way over 20 valumes one time. I left the pharm and went to a strip club. I was in the bathroom and the jackass started saying he was gonna call the cops over if I did not hand over cash...cost me 40. The point is you never know what to expect trying to make it back to the border. My experienc with the border is they may check your car but not your person.
 
I know a buddy of mine that actually got caught about 5-6 years ago and they searched his car and they took him in and searched him and he only had about 30 ccs of stuff with him and they let him go without the gear and charged him $600.00, he never went back for anymore gear to mexico after that.
 
It all depends on where you go and if they think they can get something from you. Just not let them mess with you, now if it's a cop that's a different story. But everyone has a different story about TJ, some good smoe bad.

that happens all the time wether you pay them well or not. i guess every method has its risks and rewards. personally id just take my own chances rather than trust some random local. you can use the 50 or the 20 to buy more shit, or spend it on a hooker and enjoy the crabs.
 
I don't know about penalties, but yesterday I brought 2 bottles of QV boldenone ($35 each) and 1 bottle of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) (10,000 i.u.s. for $28) across from TJ in my tighty whities and flew home today. I was in San Diego on business so just made a quick trip. No problems.
 
thats the way to do it. the first couple of times you may be sweatin it and it may take some balls to convince yourself to walk across or drive if you go by car but after a while the nervousness goes away. and headmunkey made a good point about crossing multiple times to get a feel for the guards and shit. after a while they dont even look at you. if they look interested in you then you probably look nervous. later.
 
yeah, my first time across I was nervous but now I could give a shit. Its routine, act like you know whats going on and you'll be fine.
 
i had agood friend who used to cross the border to TJ just about daily to get ketamine muscle relaxers, and valiums. he would cross about ten to fifteen times in a weekend. always crossed shitfaced drunk or fucked up on something. never once had a problem. this guy was nuts. he would stuff a shit load of boxes in his pants, in his socks, taped up to his body. he was just a cool ass mofoe. one time he was crossing and a few boxes of some shit (i cant remember what) fell out of a pocket while he took out his license. i think i would have shit my pants. he was so fuckin cool about it. he just laughed and said oops, i think you caught me. why dont i just leave this with you guys and be on my way. took out a couple more boxes, handed them to the guard and surprisingly enough, she let him go with just a warning. some fuckin people were born under a very bright star i guess. the shit of all shits though is that he had about 20 or 30 more boxes taped to his body and crossed with them just fine. this is what i call cynical. i wonder what would have happened to him had he been arrested? okay, the moral of the story is always be cool under pressure.
