Current TV has been working on a three-part special for this fall that will show a behind-the-scenes look at an actual midnight border crossing and an operation to bring down Mexican drug trafficking organizations that are flooding the hungry U.S. market with drugs.
And in this case it´s time for the second part of the documentary.
“Vanguard: War on the Border,” premieres Monday, November 22nd at 9pm ET (release below). The Peabody-Award winning series, explores the highly-charged issue of U.S.-Mexico border control. Part One (which premiered Nov. 15th), took an in-depth look at the issues of immigration and human smuggling between the U.S./Mexico border–in next Monday’s installment, correspondent and exec producer Adam Yamaguchi focuses on the drug trafficking trade and how cartels are moving their marijuana-cultivating businesses across the border into U.S. Federal lands, bringing the drug war much closer to home. In the episode, Yamaguchi embeds with a task force working to take down Mexican drug trafficking organizations operating in the US.
In the second and third parts of the special, “Vanguard” takes a deeper look at the drug trafficking trade between Mexico and the U.S. Mexican cartels in the U.S. now make more money from marijuana than from cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin combined. But now cartels are moving their marijuana-cultivating business across the border from Mexico into U.S. federal lands, making California a source state for marijuana. “Vanguard” executive producer and correspondent Adam Yamaguchi goes undercover to see how agents are working to dismantle the drug cartel operations popping up all over the U.S. Yamaguchi joins an elite U.S. task force as they survey and eradicate multi-million dollar marijuana fields. Undercover operatives give Vanguard unprecedented access to their efforts to take down the marijuana growers, from the low-level planters, to the middlemen and drug transporters, and all the way up to the cartel members themselves. The DEA shows “Vanguard” how the tentacles of Mexican drug cartels are now reaching the east coast, where they are creating hubs of operation to distribute their drugs — bringing the war much closer to home.

It seems like people love Drugs and this fight has gone on for so long and…It seems like this is never going to end and on some level it has to be hard fighting to keep people Drug Free but on the other hand Drugs create crimes and that is the reason you have to fight the war on Drugs but on the other hand people are going to jail and serving there time and getting help from the state to stop there ways of thinking…Only time will tell and lets see what happens down the road.Policeman are working hard and really pushing hard for law and order and that is wonderful that they care that much and are willing to put there lives on the line each and every moment at work to protect other people from what could happen if those Drugs make it throw…But to the Policeman out there Thank you for your care and your kindness and your warmth and most of all for being strong and firm and really thinking about familys.
Policeman are taking a big risk out there and are trying to stop Drugs from making it to this state but on the other hand people feel the need for Drugs and Crave them and want them and will do anything for them and…I wish there was away no one got hurt or taken advantage of and used and stolen from or robbed or beaten for Drugs and…I wish the state would give this people this Drugs as there medication and give it to them for free and that way…If they live a shorter life….They would not have to have there family turn there back on them and hate them for stealing and robbing from them…Drug addiction makes familys lose love for each other and it is often about stealing and taking from a family member and that would not happen if the person had there fix…Too bad drugs are being destoryed.
