Houston Alien Smuggling Lawyers

Penalty for Smuggling Illegal Aliens

Alien smuggling is a serious problem in Texas and other border states, including Arizona and California. Immigration crime charges may be brought against those people who assist non-citizens who lack visas or permanent residency documentation in crossing the border illegally in any way, such as:

  • Conspiring to smuggle aliens into the United States
  • Transporting illegal aliens
  • Facilitating illegal border crossing by undocumented aliens
  • Harboring illegal aliens
  • Encouraging or inducing illegal immigration
  • Hiring undocumented aliens

Law enforcement of immigration crimes sometimes seems to follow political waves, with agencies becoming more vigorous in pursuit of offenders in response to a particular climate of public sentiment. Were you charged with alien smuggling after you unknowingly picked up a hitchhiker or after your truck, when crossing the border into Laredo or El Paso, was found to contain a hidden alien on top, underneath or hiding inside a camper compartment? If so, you need an experienced lawyer's vigorous representation beginning right away.

To request an initial consultation, call (713) 597-2221 so speak with our Houston alien smuggling defense attorneys.
