Julia asked:
Do smugglers also finance illegals trip into America with easy down payments and low monthly payments ? Do the illegals have to sign a contract ? In Mexico what ratio of smugglers are arrested ? Many in Mexico considred smugglers as the guys who bring illegals safely into America to enable them to find work they could not actually find in Mexico ?

It could be a few thousand dollars.
They don’t finance — they’re criminals, for pete’s sake!
Pay up front. If you can’t pay, they will make you pay it off by being a prostitute.

it costs more than applying for a visa to USA legally

they charge a low low price of $199.99, on average. They have financing, you can choose from 6 different lay-away plans. But interest is about 12 %, and there is a contract, signed in blood, on lamb’s skin. The ratio of smugglers arrested in MExico is; 3:10. And that last sentence you have there is a statement, not a question, so the question mark is confusing, but I’d say, yes !!! Anything else?

they charge about 3000 dollars and if you pay them partial and refuse to pay the rest they do bodily harm to your family left behind and as far as i know its only a verbal agreement and alot ripped off and they really do not care for the people they smuggle

I don’t know and don’t care. Illegals need to stay in Mexico. We have enough of them here costing our country a fortune. At what point will people begin to understand that the word ILLEGAL means that it is supposed to be forbidden. My opinion is that people who don’t have a problem breaking the law by coming to America do not have a problem breaking the law while they are here.

I would think $2000-3000. You would probably sign over your first paycheck if you were financing it. I dont understand your last question. Well maybe i do. Not all mexicans consider smugglers safe, they are usually dirty men doing a dirty job.

People pay up to $5,000 to get them over here. Safely and Smugglers do not go together in the same sentence. A lot of people are beat, robbed, raped and also left in the middle of the desert for dead.
I think the same banks that caused the mortgage fiasco in the US are offering 0 down on variable rate loans to the smugglees.
Comment by PEDRO vote for me! — November 5, 2007 @ 2:36 pm
please.they are not financing, money up front, for maybe getting you across but most likely dead:either abandoned halfway in the middle of the desert,suffocated in the back of a truck etc….

The price varies. It could be from $1000 to $3000 per person. Depends on where they are taking you - how far. And I wouldn’t call it financing what they do. If you have a family member here in the US they hold you as a hostage and require that family member to come up with the money to give them their loved one. A contract such as this would not be binding and is illegal. Mexico frowns on Coyotes but in essence they do not do much to arrest those who do it. Many Federales are the look outs for the Coyotes. In Mexico it’s all about the money. La mordida - how much are you going to give a federal for your cargo. Smugglers of human cargo usually do not bring people in safely. There are many risks for those wanting to cross the border. For women - rape and for all, it is dying in the desert or a truck of a car. You have to know Mexico economics to realize that even if a person is working in Mexico, it is a mere existence. All those American factories giving Mexicans jobs, pay $5 per day for an 8 hr day. How can anyone live on $100 a month?

Yes, you wouldn’t believe how bad this slave trade is.
Today, corporate America has discovered a new slave class by naming it “cheap labor”.They do the jobs Americans won’t do.” President George W. Bush sanctions and condones 21st century slavery in America.
They’re imported from foreign countries where they are starved to desperation by their leaders. Average pay in Mexico and Central America is $3.85 a day. Most leave behind a wife and six kids. They risk their lives crossing deadly deserts. They die or are killed by coyote smugglers that respect nothing. They slave in our lettuce, fruit and vegetable fields for a pittance of wages. They live 30 to a house, eat horrid food, suffer financial degradation so pathetic that no American would live or work like that. They work at ski resorts and live 20 to a trailer. They work in hotels and restaurants. They work landscape, dry wall, fast food, construction, painting and as maids. They are not legal. They are illiterate. They are not citizens. They form a subclass, yet are happy because it’s better than their native Mexico. They make up American’s 21st century slave class.
Some of them pay slave traders $20,000 + up front to secure the appropriate paperwork - which they NEVER get, and if they squawk, they are threatened with deportation by those who exploit them.
There are some real unconscionable capitalist pigs running around the country.

Why pay someone while you can just take your time and walk over the border. Trust me immigration officer wont say a thing.
Comment by Professor Oglevee — November 15, 2007 @ 10:38 am
its on the thousands of dollars, as far as financing goes, have you heard of chinese immigrants that work like slaves to pay off their debt well thats what financing is. and yes mexican immigrants do pay like that
nevermind EASY terms
Comment by Bernanke — November 15, 2007 @ 6:03 pm
LOL - this is a joke right? A criminal is going to extend credit? And what if you don’t pay? He is going to hunt you down? or you get deported and need more credit? LOL - honor among thieves LOL!
Not enough smugglers or illegals are caught, but hopefully, the times they are a changin!
Illegal is illegal!
