In a joint project with The New York Times, FRONTLINE/WORLD correspondent Lowell Bergman investigates the business of human smuggling between Mexico and the United States. In Tijuana, masses of people attempt to cross illegally every day with the help of increasingly organized and expensive smugglers. Bergman finds that this illicit but lucrative business is expanding, and U.S. border agents are subject to an increased risk of corruption.
