It is sad that people that are that desperate should be so vulnerable that these coyotes charge them so much and treat them so badly. I wish they would collectively gain the mindset , the national conscience, to stay home and work AS hard to change their circumstances, their government, their economy THERE so that they can be proud and participate globally fully with the natural resources that they have other than their strong backs! I guess that’s a dream will never come to fruition.
My stepdad was a long-distance hauler. He did haul loads of bananas. Mom says they had to stop at the border of California and Arizona and have the bananas ‘gassed’ for 40” before they could pass. Mom asked why she had to get out of the truck? ‘because the gas is toxic, lady!’ It’s meant to retard the ripening of the bananas so they won’t turn black before hitting the stores. Can you imagine what THAT would have done to the 200?
Guess their coyote didn’t think they needed that information.
“....so that they can be proud and participate globally fully with the natural resources that they have...”
I used to feel that way here, Dances.
