One of Burke’s clients flew from Bejing to Guatemala, then took buses to the border. Once there, smugglers put him in a coffin to cross the border.
Another girl hid in a Guatemalan tour-bus bathroom that was marked “Out of Order.”
Those who land in Cuba come to the United States hidden under the floorboards of boats.
Another client took a less typical but equally circuitous route from her home in Fujian province through Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, then New York.
Juliet thought she was coming to live with the dad she hadn’t seen since she was a toddler. Her mom paid a “snakehead,” or smuggler, $80,000 to spirit her to America.
She was 15 when she left China for the monthlong journey to New York. She landed, alone, at JFK Airport with a fake passport and understanding no English.
A day later, her dad sent her on a bus in Chinatown bound for Illinois, where she was to work in a Chinese restaurant."
