The reason for the increase in the number of caravans to the United States is that the "Coyote"

The United States has decided to place troops on the Mexican border to block the Central American immigrant procession (Caravan), but the caravan has not stopped walking.

Caravans will continue to march unless immigrants settle in large areas exposed to border smugglers (Coyote Coyote) and face threats of violence and murder, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, September 26.

US Secretary of Defense James Mathis will sign an order to deploy 800 to 1,000 troops to the Mexican border, the Associated Press reported. The United States decided to cut $ 260 million (about W $ 295 billion) from aid to the three Latin American countries because it could not stop the caravan.

The United States is closing the border further, but the procession of caravans continues to move towards the US border.

"I know President Trump's policy, but I will continue to walk," Independent British magazine Independent Jose Dia told Britain's Independent magazine. "I will be able to ask for asylum on the other side of the border". Dia comes from Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, the most dangerous region in the world.

The Working Group felt that the caravan process was an alternative to avoiding the most expensive and dangerous "traffic lane" in the world. This is because of the border smugglers who have been deeply involved in crossing the border between the United States and Mexico. According to the US Department of Homeland Security, smugglers smuggled immigrants in 2008 and received $ 2,000. But the cost for them is almost five times in 10 years, reaching $ 9,200 in 2018. It's too big for immigrants who go to America to avoid poverty.

As a result, money collected from the sale of all goods is often handed over to smugglers. Immigrants give money to border smugglers with the belief that they can earn more money in the United States. Of course, if you are deported without finding a suitable job, you will end up living. "9200 dollars, that's too much, knowing that you will be deported one day," said Evinmata, who has settled in Miami with the help of a smuggler.

Immigrants are also exposed to violence by smugglers. Among the border smugglers, there are many Mexican drug cartels. In 2008, Mexican President Felipe Calderón launched a campaign to combat drug cartels in northeastern Mexico. In 2010, 72 immigrants to the United States were murdered in the village of San Fernando, northeastern Mexico. That's why they refused to invite drug cartels. The immigrants who were killed came from Honduras, Guatemala and Ecuador. The nationality of the immigrants who are currently joining the caravan is not very different.

Andrew Sally, director of the Immigration Policy Research Institute's American think-tank, said: "Previously, there were plenty of options for crossing the border." But there are now criminal activities at large. scale, "he said.
