How Facebook is fueling the border crisis by failing to close down dozens of groups offering passage into the US for as little as $1,700 and showcasing glowing testimonials

Facebook has been blamed for fueling the border crisis as human smugglers are using its platform to organize the passage of desperate migrants into the US in exchange for as little as $1,700.

Dozens of Facebook pages and groups openly offer illegal crossings across the US-Mexico border, posting prices, routes, discount options, videos they claim show successful trips - and even testimonials from what they claim to be happy customers.

The Tech Transparency Project (TTP), which unearthed the groups in a damning report this week, said Facebook has become a 'one stop shop' for 'coyote' people smugglers and dangerous cartels and is contributing to migrants risking their lives on the perilous journey chasing the American dream.

If we had an honest and competently led Dept. of Justice, Facebook would be under investigation for violations of federal laws re “aiding and abetting” illegal immigration and drug smuggling/sex trafficking.

That’s a big “IF” and Garland is a little shit. No chance of anything being done against Facebook and the coyote operations.

He is married to a Chinese woman who is directly tied to the CCP - hardly a Nazi (which BTW no longer exist).

Fighting non-existent Nazis instead of the CCP is just what they want, just ask any CCP influencers on YouTube or any of the numerous wumaos on FR.

Couldn’t Facebook be held complicit in human trafficking? What about laws regarding illegal immigration, etc if they are allowing advertisements for how to violate the law??

Almost all of the children and the women coming across the border could get into the USA with a tourist or a student visa and a $25 bus ticket to San Diego.

The only reason I can think of for paying a smuggler $1,700 is that the women and children are afraid to come here without a man, and that most of the men have been previously deported or have criminal records in their home country and cannot get visas.

If we had a FBI wager they would be very interested in him.
