Smuggling rings are offering Marines based at Camp Pendleton, California, as much as $1,000 to run migrants to San Diego.
Service members have been offered between $500 and $1,000 simply to pick up illegal immigrants a few miles north of the U.S-Mexico border and drop them off at areas around the city. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service reports 19 service members, 18 Marines and one Navy corpsman, were arrested this month at Camp Pendleton for their involvement in human and drug smuggling.
