I think the problem is that they are not from the US and the laws that would apply to a foreign citizen doing these things is easier for them to avoid or never get charged(killed) properly.  Foreign citizens can also be called refugees and all sorts of colorful things to protect them from the US Govt with the help of rouge actors in the US Govt. One they carry the T label that all changes before the ink is dry. It changes the label of the "foreign citizen" as well as any body helping or benefit from the situation.  Very well could be who is going to Gitmo with the DS. Like I said above this should scare anybody doing work with the Cartels enough to stop after reading the article if they have two brain cells still to rub together.
