Sort of a dark "Hands across the Border" cultural exchange enriching our lives.

Was it the mayor of Nogales or Juarez that's moving to Arizona ? Better that than dead.


Many illegals can't pay their COD coyote bill in full once they arrive stateside. Until two yeas ago people had to pay in advance of their travel, now they have to pay more to the coyote but they can pay stateside- giving their relatives time to gather the funds. The coyotes make more money and people only pay if they make it across. But not everyone had the money ready and the coyotes created safe house to hold people in until their families paid the coyote fees in full. I think it was a short step from holding people until they paid- to kidnapping and extortion for profit. They climbed that step, made some money and have the system in place now. I think illegal immigration and these crimes are directly linked.

I'm wondering if the huge increase in kidnappings being among the immigrants, legal or not, is not being taken seriously by the local population because it's them and not us.
