I am still trying to digest this from J. Kb’s post:
Think about it for a moment. These are people that never heard the term “coyote” that has been for us for decades, maybe even more. They also ignorant of the plight of human trafficking because otherwise the use of Coyote would have been known to them. These are people that possibly think walking across the Southern US border from Mexico is just like going over to the neighbors for a cup of coffee and a chat rather than crossing a deadly desert populated by drug cartel operatives running the human trafficking. They cannot know the thousands of stories of people being charged a small fortune to be taken across the border and sometimes not making it because the Coyotes abandon them. If they are very lucky, they are found by Border Patrol and rescued. If they are not that lucky:
And then we have the apparently no longer important subject of rapes among the females being brought across the border by the Coyotes. Even good old PBS wrote about it:
Salinas said at first she was confused when a guide at the start of the trip offered her and other women pills he said would prevent pregnancy. Later, it made more sense.
Peña said sometimes it is the guides — also called coyotes — who advise their female clients to go on birth control. That was the case for Maria Salinas, a petite 43-year-old who recently tried crossing with her 18-year-old daughter.
Once Salinas started walking with the group, she couldn’t keep up. One coyote said he’d help – on one condition.“If I gave him my daughter, then he’d wait for me,” Salinas said. Meaning, if she let him have sex with her daughter. She refused, and he abandoned them. They only survived because they found Border Patrol.
“It’s awful,” Salinas said about making this trip as a woman. “I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
And when a woman is raped in remote stretches of the border region, it almost always goes unpunished. Almost always.
Women crossing the U.S. border face sexual assault with little protection
So there is plenty of literature and news out here about Coyotes and these people in the screen cap and many others that flooded Social media mocking President Trump are just doing the PR for Human Smugglers and Sexual Predators on the other side of the border.
But I really do not believe they did not know. I believe they know, but the chose their hate for the President rather than say he was right in this subject and ignoring a human rights problem brought to by the policies they support.
So maybe they are accomplices after all.
I noticed that Lexa Doig is the first tweet; she’s an actress mostly known for sci-fi genre work Stargate SG-1, Andromeda, and so forth.
She’s also a Canadian citizen.
So, Ish, are you racist or something, as if Canadian citizenship would disqualify someone from voting democrat?
Yet, each and every one of them is convinced that they are smarter and more knowledgeable than any conservative.
Every day, a little more of my basic empathy burns away, replaced with icy, mechanical clarity. A clarity that says:
“These are not thinking, sapient people. They can be disposed of without remorse.”
If they don’t know the term coyote, then doubtless they’ve never heard of the rape trees, decorated with the panties of every little girl they rape.
If they don’t know the term and they only use Google, I bet they’d never get the truth.
Someone with Twitter ought to try to post that. I’m sure it would get you suspended or the tweet would be shadowbanned.
Somewhat to my surprise, Google does show the term. And there’s an article in Wikipedia that has a (brief) reference, which comes up if you enter the term as the article you want.
They can’t acknowledge how the sausage is made.
If they knew that thousands of women were raped by human traffickers they couldn’t be for open borders.
J, that argument might not hold together. We know from Prohibition that making X illegal produces a criminal organization dedicated to providing X. That’s pretty much true for any X — booze, weed, prostitution, border crossing.
When Prohibition was repealed, that didn’t fix alcoholism but it did, pretty much, take the Mob out of the distribution of liquor.
Similarly here, if you have open borders you can just walk across, you don’t need to deal with smugglers. It certainly is true that open borders cause any number of problems — this is the same sort of discussion that pops up when people argue about legalizing drugs. But it isn’t all that plausible that coyotes would stay in business in the hypothetical scenario of fully open borders.
If “open borders” is taken to mean there still are restrictions, just different ones, yes, then you’d still have smugglers. And given that it’s the left pushing here, we know there would be restrictions since government regulation is what the left is all about.
“They (are) also ignorant of the plight of human trafficking because otherwise the use of Coyote would have been known to them.”
Excellent insight, succinctly put.
If liberals acknowledge something they will have to do something about it. Ignorance mocks what it doesnt understand. I have zero sympathy for these people. Every house around here with a biden sign in front is the home of a moonbat hippy commie. These moonbats are not worth wasting time on
