Throughout their journey, Cruz and fellow migrants were at the mercy of a smuggling network and cops who expected bribes to let them pass. Only a fraction made it to the other side. https://nyti.ms/2KlwBQL pic.twitter.com/BE2MaQFkVG

Migrants — some of them infants — were locked in filthy stash houses while they waited for smugglers to pick them up for the next leg of their trip https://nyti.ms/2KlwBQL pic.twitter.com/elUiuL1DBm

For Cruz, the harrowing journey of crossing the U.S. border and paying thousands of dollars to smugglers to get him there was all worth it https://nyti.ms/2KlwBQL pic.twitter.com/i2oWlMeCS8

Don't want or need illegals here. We can't afford to feed cloth and educate them. They bring in a high crime rate as well. If they cant get here legally they don't need to be here.

Many immigrants are fleeing the violence of MS-13 yet Dems WANT to allow MS-13 into the US. WTF?

As the number of Latin American ILLEGALS INVADing at the southern border or INFILTRATing across it has surged, the Trump administration has embraced even tougher measures, including a “zero tolerance” policy!

Soooo... Your narrative doesn't hold up. In other words, $800 and 290 miles gets him to safety. Then why the additional ~$12K and 1500 miles more??? Answer: Because he wants a better paying -- although illegal -- job in the US. It really has little to do with personal safety.

So, NYT's protagonist Cruz can be considered a draft dodger in El Salvador? He's sure the gangs will kill him. If he joined the army, he would enjoy some protection, I assume gangs can't go around murdering soldiers. Instead, family spends a year's wages to sneak him into US.

"Payment" at the border has been in sexual favors/acts for more than 30 years. The "normal" journey is brutal at best. "Seekers" are very likely to face: Scams, Crimes (Rape), Corruption and malnutrition. Blaming this on the this Administration is irresponsible, you know that!

Wish they would apply their brutal zero tolerance crusade to their immoral and corrupt president.
