Was This Illegal From Mexico Doing the Jobs Americans Will Not Do?

Question by Johnny: Was this illegal from Mexico doing the jobs Americans will not do?
SHAWNEE, Okla. — A Tecumseh man arrested in connection with a Mexican methamphetamine ring last year was set for trial Monday but instead chose to plead guilty to eight felony counts.
Formal sentencing for Jesus Ceniceros Jr., 35, is now set for June 29, court records show.
Ceniceros was charged in Pottawatomie County District Court in April 2010 with aggravated trafficking in illegal drugs, accused of possessing one or more pounds of methamphetamine. He also was charged with two counts of trafficking in illegal drugs; two counts of unlawful distribution of controlled drug; two counts of unlawful use of a telecommunication device to commit a felony; and acquire proceeds from drug activity.
Ceniceros was scheduled for trial this term. Last Wednesday, he appeared in court briefly, where minutes show he withdrew his not guilty plea and pleaded guilty. But before that hearing was over, he changed his mind and decided to take his case to trial on Monday.
Before proceedings Monday, Ceniceros decided to plead guilty in the case.
A translator was needed during all of the proceedings. Ceniceros, who remains jailed at the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center until formal sentencing next month, also has a hold listed from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, jail rosters show.
Ceniceros was arrested April 13, 2010, and subsequent charges in this case followed a year-long investigation into a Mexican methamphetamine ring. That probe was being conducted by the District 23 Drug Task Force, along with the state’s Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
After conducting several undercover drug buys, agents raided his home west of Tecumseh. Their action reportedly cut off a major supply of drugs in Pottawatomie, Pontotoc and Seminole counties, agents said.
With the case, authorities also seized nearly seven pounds of methamphetamine valued at about $ 150,000.

Drug Addiction- Prescription?

Question by TommyBBaLL: Drug Addiction- prescription?
My brother is addicted to oxy contin and has been for the passed 7 years. He has messed up repeatedly, and always comes up with a new bullshit story to explain to my mother and stepfather. They have known about his addiction for 4-5 years now but they continue to enable his problem. They pay for his rent and bills in order for him to sell oxycontin so he can take it himself. I try to explain to them that they feed his addiction but they neglect to here what I am telling them. Recently they placed him in a rehab facility where he spent all of 3 days. After rehab they bought him a plane ticket to florida to live with my grandparents in a elderly care facility. They schedule him a plane ticket to come back today, but he missed the plane ticket because he left the facility where my grandparents stay to work for someone which translates to me as hes doing it for his need of drugs. What can my parents do to actually help him out with his problem? I understand its my mothers son and she would do anything for him, but doesn’t it come to a time where enough is enough and you realize its time to let him go through trials and tribulations on his own.
