There is a co-worker I deal with regularly who gave me some very interesting information. His father is part of the Federal Police Force in Mexico.
For those of you not familiar with policing in Mexico, the local state level is rife with corruption. The standards to become a Federal are high and strict, like joining the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover. The reason the cartels charge $9,000 to $13,000 per family smuggled north is because that is the average home value in the smuggler's triangle (Guatamela, Honduras, El Salvador).
When the chances of border jumping success are damn near 100%, the demand for smugglers go up. The price, however, changes very little because they know they can get it.
Exactly.
How much are the Democrats and the assorted perverts that seem to comprise a large percentage of their constituency, getting in return?
(My personal belief that all of the nonsense that the Democrats concocted against President Trump to get rid of him was because he was closing in their involvement in this abomination and was on the verge of exposing them.)
