In the early days it could have just been someone who knew there way through the desert but now that border security has tightened, most Coyotes I have heard of have ties to organized crime and connections in the United States. One thing I learned while volunteering on the border is that the tighter security gets, it has not changed the number of migrants crossing but it has changed who can be a coyote. Since the government has sealed off most easy routes, the people still willing to take people across are the ones who care less about the people they are guiding.<BR/>As with any group of people there are good coyotes and bad coyotes but the impressions I have got almost everywhere are overwhelmingly negative.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841948502217333018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376848026740418520.post-69266998330361421142008-05-11T19:38:00.000-07:002008-05-11T19:38:00.000-07:00Julio's story is heart wrenching and brings tears ...Julio's story is heart wrenching and brings tears to my eyes. It's obvious that these people are facing such dire circumstances that they are willing to try so many times despite the consequences. I have one question though, who are the coyotes normally? Are we talking americans, border people, people with connections, who?<BR/><BR/>KristiKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347140699027707829noreply@blogger.com
