Border Crisis and Human Trafficking

This chapter explores the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, shedding light on the exploitation of vulnerable communities, particularly minors, by cartels and traffickers. It critiques the federal government's inaction and the ensuing cycle of debt and servitude faced by migrants, while emphasizing the urgent need for reform in immigration policies. The conversation also connects broader socio-economic challenges to the violent dynamics of drug trafficking and human smuggling in border regions.
