More Proof Smugglers Are Bad People
 
By Andrew R. Arthur on March 27, 2019

I have often spoken about the despicability of the $3.5 to $4.2 billion industry that engages in the smuggling of human beings from Central and South America to the United States. An overlooked February 2019 article from the Dallas Morning News underscores that point, and many others about the current crisis at the border.

The article, captioned "Guatemala town's residents weigh playing cat-and-mouse game on U.S. border", details the economic considerations that go into migrants' decisions to come to the United States illegally, and the sales pitches that smugglers use to encourage them, primarily by discussing the situation of "Ana Matzutz and her teenage son, Esduardo" of San Martin Jilotepeque, Guatemala. Matzutz' husband and daughter completed the perilous journey just days before they were interviewed. I will return to them in a moment.
