A Mexican man who agreed to drive a tractor trailer packed with 85 undocumented migrants in exchange for settling his own United States-Mexico border crossing fee debt is now facing up to 20 years in a federal prison.
José Luis Vega-Arzate, 31, pleaded guilty to conspiring to transport migrants for financial gain in a court last Friday.
The Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, resident reached an agreement to drive the rig as a way to settle the $8,000 payment he owed for being smuggled over the southern border to Austin, according to the U.S. Attorney General's Office for the Southern District of Texas.
