Kohli and others draw a clear distinction with Brewer’s suggestion that the majority of illegal border crossers are “drug mules.” “If caught along the southwest border, the vast majority of migrants are prosecuted in federal district court, often 70 at a time, for misdemeanor illegal entry,” Kohli said. “If they are caught smuggling drugs, they would not be prosecuted” in this way.
