Early Days of Mexican Smuggling! It wasn't drugs it was wax!
Yes it was wax, the Mexicans had a huge smuggling operation from the Chihuahuan desert into the area in Texas known as Big Bend National Park, located in the most southwestern tip o' Texas. The area was complete with hard-assed Apache, Comanche and Jumanos and greedy gringos ducking bullets from Pancho Villa, lucking for the buck to be made off of the Candelilla plant to supply the American candl More..

Interesting post J.
I live in the Sonoran Desert and have seen this plant amongst the cacti. Never thought nothing of it, gonna have to take a closer look. Maybe I'll be making my own candles before too long.
Doubt the smugglers/illegals will be hauling wax now a days. But if I come across a bundle or two, I'll be sure to share. lol.

I find it fascinating the on going plant oriented weirdness between countries and institutions. The stuff just growing there in the desert and it being of supreme value, the article spoke of large leases and tracts that were purchased because of the plant growing on it, like it was a valuable forest or something.
