On border patrol in the Caribbean

As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico–located in the Caribbean–is a hot spot for smugglers moving drugs and illegal immigrants into the U.S.

It’s strategically located as a straight shot from drug producing countries like Colombia and Venezuela… and that makes it a destination for cartel thugs and other criminals.
