An informal expression for the illegal operation of trafficking Hispanic immigrants across the border to the USA or vice versa.
These operations were run by traffickers nicknamed polleros; drivers of trucks modified to hide twenty or more immigrants in its carriage. The trucks are often disguised as delivery vans or oil tankers.
The truck was found to be a chicken run, driving out of Juarez and into the south of Texas. The border patrol has been playing hide-and-seek with these polleros for 2 years.
