Mexican Cartel Smugglers Spray Dangerous Chemicals on Migrants to Trick K9 Officers
[Breitbart] Cartel-connected human smugglers are using increasingly dangerous and possibly deadly tactics to avoid detection by sniffer dogs. Two approaches involve the use of chemicals and foam sealants to hide human smells in vehicle compartments.

In a recent attempt, U.S. Border Patrol agents in South Texas found migrants fully covered in lime and other cleaning products. The tactic failed. Similar attempts have been made at Texas checkpoints near Falfurrias and Sarita, approximately 80 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico Border.

Breitbart Texas spoke with Oscar Medina, a spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol RGV Sector, who revealed the tactics greatly risk migrant health.

The chemicals have long been used to cover drug smells. But for humans, they can cause severe irritation to the skin and eyes. They can be fatal if ingested, Medina said. Authorities have also found laundry detergent and other cleaning products like Fabuloso in use.

Foam sealants compound the risks of the chemicals covering migrants. Circulation is limited and the chemical smells are unable to vent from migrant compartments as trucks pass through regions with triple-digit temperatures.

Tenochtitlans on uncut sassafras!
Muhammads, Ngumas, Lakhwinders...
unwanteds marching en-masse!

And when we sic our dogs on 'em,
dadgum mutts are like... blind!
They run and run and run past!

'We invisible, yo!' Says one with sass.
'Dey can't smell our wind! With
all this foam sealant up our ass.'
