Migrant smuggling “influencers” advertising their services have tens of thousands of followers on YouTube and TikTok, a new report has revealed.
According to a report from the New York Post, “the cartel-linked human smugglers, known as coyotes in Spanish, post high-quality promo videos showing them escorting migrants across rivers and customers smiling inside secret ‘stash houses’ once purportedly over the border.”
Soy Xulen, whose YouTube handle is @ELINMIGRANTEAVENTURERO, which translates to “the migrant adventurer,” told a reporter from the Post that he charges 180,000 Mexican pesos (around $10,500) to help someone illegally cross the border.
Xulen’s YouTube channel has nearly 13 million views and claims to be “documenting the migrant experience.”
“How about My people! I like to share moments captured on camera at the precise moment,” his YouTube channel description reads. “The simple reason is to share life and everything that we Latinos (legal, undocumented) and Americans have in the USA, so my dear friends, I hope it is to your liking.”
