The booming business for smuggling people to the US: 'Everyone wins'
The Guardian UK ^ | 13 Apr 2019 | Sarah Kinosian in Huehuetenango

It’s only 7.30am but Daniel is already looking stressed. Every few minutes his mobile buzzes and he steps out of earshot to take another call from a client. A shipment is being dispatched tomorrow, and he is still learning the basics of logistics. “The business responds to the market, and right now, the boss says the market is families,” he says...

...Like a travel agent offering a range of package holidays, El Profe punches his prices into a calculator as he runs through the options.

The premium package costs $11,000 and includes a plane ticket from Guatemala to the Mexican city of Monterrey, a guide through the Chihuahuan desert and a private car waiting in Texas. For $9,800 you can take a seven-day bus journey to the Rio Grande, with a bus waiting on the other side of the river. The budget option costs $7,800, with no fake documents, 10 to 20 days walking, and guides who El Profe’s organisation cannot vouch for. There are even cheaper packages, “but those are where you’re more likely to get robbed by organised crime, kidnapped, raped, or killed for your organs”. He shrugged, and ran his hand through his hair.

noted in the article are the existence of " dirt-floor shacks stand alongside the multi-storey houses of those who have made it to the US" and then sent the money home to build that multi-story mansion in the same exact area the 'refugees' claim they were scared to stay.

Everybody wins, except us bleeding heart American suckers.

The United Kingdom is an envious shithole — home to the Guardian. These scumbags are thoroughly enjoying the invasion.

At some point, some guy will figure out a way to buy a old freighter, load 1,000 Hondurans onboard, sail to the coast of the UK and ground the vessel on some shore.

Friends of mine in the UK are in fear of posting anything online. If they post on Facebook, Disqus, or a comment to the DailyMail that is considered "hate speech" against homosexuals, Muslims, (insert your protected group here), they will not only be questioned by law enforcement, they will be charged, fined, and possibly imprisoned.

I am not joking. Check recent news articles on this subject if you think I am doing so.

In every city town and village in the US there are fencing operation store fronts posing as “western union, check cashing, wire transfer” businesses that help immigrants send their American tax payer dollars our politicians give them for breathing back to their homeland. These places need to be looked into. Also the inner city bodega’s that are fencing food stamps for cash. cashing welfare checks with a vig and drugs.

I believe that to be the absolute truth. I saw what looked like a British female, Rush Limbaugh type person, interview a senior British cop about exactly that. She pretty much told the guy she wasn’t buying what he was selling.

I think a clandestine organization set up by the Trump presidency to do just that would be a great idea.

Unfortunately, I could not find the you tube video, where the British female talk show host interviewed a senior British cop. The chump was such an idiot, he never figured out she was trolling him. 👎

Since life in these countries is so harsh and these invaders to our country are so poor and downtrodden, where the hell do these people get thousands of dollars so that they can pay coyotes to smuggle them over the border?

That’s my question. I’m guessing that they spend years paying it back to the cartels. With a lot of interest. The cartels wouldn’t pussy foot around with non-payment, either.

Anyone who thinks illegals are shelling out this kind of cash so they can 'pick the cherries' is nuts. Only Paul Ryan's that stupid....

Odd how the brilliant reporters of the New York Times and Washington Post lack the wit to ask such an obvious question. A second question is: are we doing any good? The answer to the second question:
