US Border Patrol: Laredo, Texas

Here is a short video by Getty Images detailing the different tactics the Border Patrol in Laredo use to try to catch drug smugglers and illegal crossings at the border. They use speedboats and ground sensors along with others to stop the illegal activities.

It interesting to hear them talk about the effect of checking landings around the river as well as just the idea that they are able to use these boats to move quickly to scare off the trafficking. Also Laredo is #3 in the nation in seizures of marijuana.
