  BE CAREFUL WITH "POLLEROS"
 
  Distrust anyone who offers to take you to the "other side" and asks you to drive a vehicle or carry a package for him. Those packages often contain drugs or other prohibited substances. For this reason, many people have ended up in prison.
 
  If you transport other people, you could be confused with a "pollero" or "coyote," and they can accuse you of smuggling people or stealing a vehicle.
 
  Do not give your children to unknown people who offer to cross them to the United States.
