With a little help from my Japanese coworker: PRO no hakobiya = drug smuggler iraihin = requested items (in this case: drugs) wake ari = (in this case) illegally
I think the sentence means something like, "Drug smugglers are always illegally smuggling drugs."

I have no context, no kanji. PRO no hakobiya, iraihin wa itsumo WAKE ari. All I have been able to find is this: no = possessive particle hako = box, case irai = since, after that wa = topic particle itsumo = always ari = ant; (I suspect this is a form of 'aru' - exist, have, but I don't know what the form is.) stevo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
