Re the $3500, you wrote:

So, you live in POVERTY your entire life, but you’ve got THIS kind of cash to escape it?

I wonder if all of the money is paid up front, or if its only partially paid and the rest is a longer term obligation that the smugglers can call on in the US later—say safe house services, transportation, interest, drug hiding, etc.

Good thinking. Kind of like a drug dealer - the FIRST ‘sample’ is FREE! ;)
