SAN ANTONIO - Texas law enforcement officials say several Mexican drug cartels are luring American children as young as 11 to work in their smuggling operations.Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told Reuters the drug gangs have a chilling name for the young Texans lured into their operations. "They call them 'the expendables,'" he said.McCraw said his investigators have evidence that six Mexican drug gangs have "command and control centers" in Texas recruiting children for their operations, attracting them with what appears to be "easy money" for doing simple tasks."Cartels would pay kids $50 just for them to move a vehicle from one position to another position, which allows the cartel to keep it under surveillance to see if law enforcement has it under surveillance," he said.
