Fort Hood soldiers arrested for smuggling illegals
Stars & Stripes reports that three Fort Hood soldiers were arrested for their participation in a gambit to smuggle illegal aliens into this country.
The soldiers — Eric Alexander Rodriguez, 20, Brandon Troy Robbins, 20, and Christopher David Wix, 21— each face up to 10 years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 fine if convicted of one count of conspiracy to transport and harbor aliens and six counts of transporting aliens, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
All three were arrested Thursday at Fort Hood in Killeen.
Robbins is accused of transporting two undocumented persons on April 13. Wix is charged with transporting two on June 21.
Arnoldo Gracia, a 45-year-old Harlingen man and alleged smuggler, is also named in the indictment and accused of aiding and abetting the three soldiers. Authorities arrested him Wednesday.
We talked about Eric Rodriguez, an ammunition handler with the 1st Cav, last month. Robbins is in the transportation field and Wix is quartermaster.

The question came up a few times in the other thread “why are they prosecuting this guy given the Administration’s stance on illegals.”
The answer is, Border Patrol doesn’t like the competition for the coyotes’ bribes.
Prison? Hell they’re qualified for jobs in the Obama administration
Hey they were just paying off their G.I Bill.
Nothing is poorer than new a troop paying that thing off.
Sapper,
How about a new troop with a used car and loan from “that place outside the front gate”
But Sergeant she gave me almost a full tank of gas with it and said I can afford it.
Just recently Obama pushed a executive order allowing illegals to enlist in the military. Get ready for more of this type of thing.
