Wait, what? Is that a thing? Are there bands of bandits waiting for women to sneak over on foot?
Yes. I believe they're commonly referred to as "coyotes".
Coyotes are the ones who get them across the border in the first place. Not sure if there's a specific name for people waiting to pick up and exploit illegals, other than "opportunist assholes"... But unless the term got redefined, a coyote is just someone who smuggles them across the border.
Yeah. The smugglers are also the ones who are raping them.
Seem to recall our border patrol folks getting in on that sort of thing, too. Might have just been less specific sorts of violence and whatnot, or simple murder or what have you. Been a bit since I last looked up stuff like that.
Yes they are called coyotes, you can find them waiting around at any border town. There are also various drag smugglers and the bandits who rob everyone. The normal migrants are the vast majority of people crossing the border however. coyotes, bandits and border patrol all rape and steal but that's on the individual level. Some are good some are bad. Bandits are basically always bad news. I have a great book on the subject its called " The land of open graves" its an anthropological study of southern border crossing. What people should really be concerned about in this whole "secure" border thing is that. One, it costs billions. Two, it is circumvented by people with determination and 26$ worth of stuff. Three, it feeds a whole industry both in America and in the south, both scummy. Four, about ~98% of people who attempt a crossing eventually get through. Five, It results in huge trauma for those that go through it. Six, people die constantly and horribly. Seven, the whole thing is basically one huge zone of exception where people are worthless and laws hardly matter.
I would like to highlight something, prevention through deterrence.
https://www.sapiens.org/culture/prevention-through-deterrence/This is a policy of literally calculated evil. It is the deliberate funneling of people to their deaths and serious injury. We need to seriously reevaluate our whole approach to immigration. Its broken and awful at a fundamental level.
