A recent spike in human and narcotics smuggling attempts off San Diego County’s so-called “Smuggler’s Corridor” has kept members of the San Diego Marine Task force busy over the past week.

Last month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized 1,100 pounds of marijuana off Mission Beach, on Jan. 17. Then, on Jan. 28, an abandoned boat thought to have been used to smuggle undocumented individuals was discovered adrift off Torrey Pines State Beach. That vessel contained 21 lifejackets.

Apparently, these two well-publicized encounters were only the beginning of a rash of attempts to circumvent security measures along the international border by running an offshore gauntlet along the coast between Ensenada and Del Mar, dubbed Smuggler’s Corridor by local mariners.

On Jan. 31, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepted a 17-foot vessel traveling north from the international maritime boundary with four undocumented Mexican nationals on board.

Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Team officers patrolling San Diego Bay on Feb. 1 at about midnight thwarted an apparent smuggling attempt when they intercepted a 25-foot sailing vessel with four persons on board.

Before dawn Feb. 2, CBP agents intercepted a Mexican fishing vessel loaded with 23 undocumented Mexican nationals off Torrey Pines State Beach.

Later that morning, Coast Guard crewmembers from the Maritime Safety and Security Team in San Diego apprehended two suspected illegal migrants attempting to swim north across the international maritime boundary near the mouth of the Tijuana River.

The accelerating pace of interdictions off San Diego’s shoreline is beyond anything previously seen.

“I can’t even make an educated guess what’s behind the increase,” said Coast Guard Pubic Affairs Petty Officer Jetta Disco. “I don’t know what it’s like in Mexico or how bad it’s getting over there. I’ve talked to other agencies such as CBP; the fantastic job they’re doing (blocking illegal entry landside) seems to be leading to an increase of (waterborne) smuggling attempts.”

The increase is because we are about to see a Drug Explosion in America.

You heard it here first.

Side note:

For the strong at heart, heisting these boats a la Somali style is a good move to make scratch in the Down Economy.
