Advocate warns that one's nationality and situation can determine how much more they pay
 
SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Human smugglers, or coyotes, have reportedly hiked their fees to get migrants illegally into the U.S.

Victor Clark, with the Binational Commission for Human Rights in Tijuana, says fees now range anywhere from $12,000 to $14,000.

“In the 90s, the coyotes were charging just $100 to get people across the border in the Tijuana-San Ysidro area, and $250 for a ride up to Los Angeles.”

Clark also stated prices vary depending on the type of migrant, nationality and the area along the border that will be crossed.

Where do these "poor" and "destitute" "unauthorized" aliens get that kind of money?

Same question I was going to ask.

I suspect we will mostly get silence on this one.
