In this Tuesday, April 12, 2016 photo, musician "Deacon" John Moore holds his guitar in New Orleans. At 74, he remembers a time when America was headed in the right direction, when everything seemed to be coming together. It was in the 1960s, when black people like himself were seeing an end to racial segregation; when women were gaining equality; when politicians were taking a stand to end poverty despite the turmoil of protests over the Vietnam War. "Those were the best years," said Moore. "And then they were destroyed right before my very eyes when they assassinated all of our leaders. Robert Kennedy. John Kennedy. Martin Luther King. Malcom X. All of our leaders. And, you know, that was the end of hope. We had no more hope." (AP Photo/Jay Reeves) (AP)

TO GO WITH NARCOTRAFICO AVISOS - This Sept. 7, 2010, photo provided by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shows more than 110 kg of marijuana seized from a vehicle that attempted to enter the U.S. near San Diego. The driver of this vehicle had stated he responded to a newspaper ad allegedly placed by drug smugglers to recruit drivers to unwittingly take drugs across the border. Smugglers are advertising in Mexican newspapers for jobs as security guards, housecleaners and cashiers to recruit the unemployed and underemployed to drive drug-laden vehicles into the United States. Starting this week in April 2012, U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement began warning job applicants in two Tijuana newspapers that they may be unwitting targets for drug cartels.
