It seems to continue - another record drug bust involving crystal meth today in Gainesville, Georgia - being operated by illegal immigrants from Mexico. According to 11 Alive:
The seizure shattered the record in Georgia, which was set just last week in Buford where 187 pounds of ice was uncovered buried in a backyard.
This time, authorities found 341 pounds of ice worth an estimated $50 million is sold on the streets. Four Mexican citizens were charged with a federal crime. Two of them are fugitives.
The bust last week netted $25 million worth of methamphetamine buried in 55 gallon plastic trash cans in Buford, Georgia. At the time, Peach Pundit first speculated whether that bust of large quantities of meth and cocaine from Mexico involved illegal immigrants.
Sounds like we’re getting confirmation now! (And this is just the tip of the iceberg, I’m sure).
