The FBI report, issued last week, says the smuggling organization "used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each individual would be charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according to the report.

$25,000 a pop !

Sounds like oil investment money could be behind that price tag.

Mexicans can only afford to pay a grand at best to cross the Rio .

That money is probably funneled from illegal workers already in the US.
