That's a disgusting way to frame the plight of minors that have no consent in the journey they are coerced into taking.

And, no, I'm not talking about people offering advice and posting safe routes. I'm talking about coyotes for cartels promising safe escort for thousands of dollars. Which is a lie. They will let these people die if necessary. Then they'll hold them hostage if they do make it, by threatening to kill their families back home if payment is not received.
