Experts say the opposite is happening.

Before US immigration authorities detained him and took his son, the Honduran migrant said he spent three days in the hands of armed men who identified themselves as members of the Gulf Cartel.

Christian, who did not want his full name used, said he was traveling to the US border with his 7-year-old ..."They told us if we didn't pay that they were going to kill us," recalled Christian, who said he was freed three days later after relatives wired money {snip}

. The smugglers prefer migrants with family in the US. They know family members will respond when they demand money."

Loureiro said migrants at the shelter have told him smugglers have been going around seeking families with relatives north of the border. {snip}

"….you start seeing a market for traffickers saying you can pay me off when we get to the other side..."

I’m sick and tired of illegals. Place the military on the border to shoot anything that moves until the wall is built. Make ICE get off their backsides and deport every illegal and those who have over stayed their visas back to wherever they came from. Deport all those who violate their status with criminal acts. Deport anchor babies. Don’t let anyone in until every last one has been deported. Jail each lawyer who aids and abets crimillegals. Jail all priests, doctors, employers and other groups who aid and abets crimillegals. Cut every last dime to sanctuary cities.

I hate these people. Too damn criminal and lazy to fix their own countries and instead flood in here like they have some God given right to do it.

[jmacusa]

Agreed! I’m sick of this bullsh!t. America isn’t the common property of the rest of the world. We ain’t Motel 6 for the whole damn world!

“So the problem is South of our border...”

Exactly.

I love the way CNN plays it...”Trump’s immigration policies were supposed to make the border safer. Experts say (trunc)”

No. Trump’s policies WEREN’T supposed to make the border safer. They’re meant to stop the inflow of illegal aliens. Crap that occurs south of the border IS NOT our problem.
