way. they don't want it a lot of attention. >> one of the men allegedly running drugs into california is a decorated iraq war vet, and you write that the smugglers were your next door neighbor, the guy ringing you up at wal-mart, the big tipper at appleby's. how do these seemingly every day folks get sucked into this drug underworld? >> well, first off, it's good money. this cell was located here on the california-mexico border in imperial county where there's not a lot of jobs. there's very high unemployment rate, and for a night's work, driving a car from the border to l.a., you could make up to $5,000. a lookout could make a few hundred dollars simple will for watching a car cross the border. it's a very sophisticated operation on the border. as many as six or seven cartel operatives will work on trying to get the drugs across the border. >> can you see where $5,000 for a night's work seems pretty
