Make no mistake they are using to advantage the turmoil on the southern border...

Coyotes, paid to do a job, know full well how to make it work. They have a bunch of folks to get over the border for a fee. Experienced, they know some will just walk in (Hondurans, Guatemalans, Mexicans) and others will have some “trouble”. They break up their human cargoes into groups, the former group just walks over to Border patrols - gets them real busy with paperwork, diapers, and the like. The latter group enters a mile down the road.
