Maybe they were drugs. We dont really know. After we had spotted these folks when we were cruising down the river on the DPS boatand there were a couple of Border Patrol boats that were much smaller. and there were other assets that allowed them to focus once we identified where these people were so that the Federal Border Patrol would knowand after we stayed silent for a while. we finally got a radio message from the Border Patrol that asked us to go ahead and return back to the dock way on down the river so that they could try to intercept these folks. Fine. because I know. if the Department of Public Safety sees a raft coming across. they will stop them. They do destroy the raft. which. as I understand. gets the coyote in trouble with the drug lord who sent him with the raft with people who had paid money to get them across.
