The 'Grand Plan' Drug Cartels Are Using To Recruit

Drug cartels are recruiting youths through video games, authorities say.

Online gamers visit virtual worlds of fantasy, adventure, or crime but federal agents say smugglers use those online worlds to recruit people for real-world crime. 

"They're actively looking. So, the smuggling organizations, they're always looking for a way to make money and they can exploit any possibility they can," Border Patrol Agent Jesus Vasavilbaso says.

The cartels see new possibilities in the way online games let players communicate with each other.
