A "shield" to stop the coronavirus

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.
