Following Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 presidential election, drug cartels and human trafficking organizations operating along the southern border have raised their smuggling prices.
The increase in “fees” from these cartel smugglers is being credited to a new sense of urgency among illegal aliens trying to cross the border before Trump’s return to the Oval Office in January, according to Breitbart.
Reports from Sonora, Mexico, a popular point of departure for those attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border unlawfully, indicate that the cost of smuggling services has nearly doubled in recent weeks.
The standard fee for crossing the border, which had been around $5,000 per person in recent months, has surged to at least $10,000 per person, according to a report from Mexico-city-based newspaper Excelsior. Other smuggling services provided by cartels, such as the use of vehicles to cross private land, have allegedly risen in price from $15,000 to as much as $20,000.
Illegal aliens coming from other countries farther away, such as China, have seen even steeper price hikes, with some paying upwards of $55,000 for help to get across the border. In 2023 alone, 24,000 Chinese nationals were apprehended trying to cross the southern border, a huge increase from the year before, reported Breitbart. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
