The other dope on this thread Nostra actually believes that the illegals crossing the border pay smugglers before they walk across the border.compared to previous administrations I would have to say yes it IS easy in relative terms. People from around the world now have the expectation that our laws wont be strongly enforced, which is why more are coming. The sheer number of people then makes it harder to enforce the border and process people one way or the other.
Smuggling Migrants at the Border Now a Billion-Dollar Business (Published 2022)
With demand for smugglers on the rise, organized crime has moved in, with cruel and violent results.www.nytimes.com
"CARRIZO SPRINGS, Texas — From the street, the little brown house was unremarkable yet pleasant. A bright yellow toy school bus and red truck hung on the hog-wire fence, and the home’s facade featured a large Texas lone star. But in the backyard was a gutted mobile home that a prosecutor later described as a “house of horrors.”
It was discovered one day in 2014, when a man called from Maryland to report that his stepfather, Moises Ferrera, a migrant from Honduras, was being held there and tortured by the smugglers who had brought him into the United States. His captors wanted more money, the stepson said, and were pounding Mr. Ferrera's hands repeatedly with a hammer, vowing to continue until his family sent it.
When federal agents and sheriff’s deputies descended on the house, they discovered that Mr. Ferrara was not the sole victim. Smugglers had held hundreds of migrants for ransom there, their investigation found. They had mutilated limbs and raped women."
What is it that you dont believe? That Cartels are charging money? making money off migrants? You think everything is ok when we have a Fed that does not enforce our laws and tells us everything is fine? you know you could really do the research for yourself so we dont have to look up the information for you.
Do you agree with that incredibly silly argument?
