ATLANTA - There is an organized crime syndicate coming across the United States' southern border cleaning out banks across America every payday.

It's been going on for years, but police are just now getting a handle on what's happening. The FOX 5 I-Team takes a look at how the illegal drifters are turning paychecks into a pay-off.

Small towns everywhere are part of a big problem and they don't even know it. American banks and businesses are fueling a crime syndicate that sends hard-earned dollars to Mexico and Honduras.

This exclusive I-Team investigation may even be the first time some police departments are hearing about this.
