A report funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) found that human traffickers taking migrants from Central America to the United States are raking in billions.
As IJR previously reported, Border Patrol has apprehended more than 614,000 migrants in the current financial year. Many of these migrants were found to be crossing the border in large groups, with some of the groups containing more than 1,000 people.

One reason migrants are arriving in large groups is that the migrants are traveling with human traffickers. This prompted DHS to fund a study from the Rand Corporation into the process used by these smugglers.
The Rand Corporation found that smugglers range from individuals to large transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), like the cartel. While the smugglers are predominately small operations, the report notes that large TCOs have taxes they levy on the migrants to allow them to safely travel through cartel-controlled territories. The report estimates that TCOs make as much as $30 million to $180 million off these taxes on migrants passing through their territory.

DHS needed to fund a study to discover this?
No one ever thought to ask someone?
One of my best friends had her family ranch in CA stolen from them by an illegal from Guatemala.

They can still funnel the money through people or front groups.

None of this is surprising, but lets see this get some coverage.
The SJWs are just stupid pawns being taken advantage of by Big Illegal. They rail against Industrial Complexes without seeing how they basically fight for some really bad Industry Hombres to keep at it.
Always follow the money.
