I have relatives who are LEOs in the border areas-they have told me that coyotes and cartels target poor, rural parents who have large families-those people live in really remote areas, are pretty much uneducated and have very little knowledge of what goes on in the wider world-so they are easily persuaded to send a daughter to the US to work at a restaurant or as a maid-or a son to work as a ranch hand-for a fee that the parents can’t afford-so they are told the kid can work the fee-thousands of $$$-off over time, then keep their money when the debt is paid off-it is all a lie...
If the parents don’t buy into the bulls*** and refuse, the coyote might abduct the kid if they see him/her out alone and unprotected...
Once the kid is smuggled into the US and is working as a prostitute for an escort service or as slave labor on a remote ranch somewhere in the Southwest/Western US, they are trapped, being told they have to work because they owe money to the cartel/coyote-the lucky ones get rescued or escape, but that is rare...

It's awful to think how unprotected those poor rural families are. If they refuse the cartels take the kid anyway, or maybe threaten the life and property of the rest of the family as well?
Now on our side of the border there are those who aid and abet the cartels by hiring illegal aliens as laborers/domestics or hiring prostitutes.
There were a bunch of day laborers out in the neighborhood a few days ago. Wonder if they were here courtesy of Don Coyote.
