NBC’s Soboroff: Coyotes Were Just More Expensive Because Trump’s Building a Border Wall

EXCERPT:

SOBOROFF: "But it was also — you know, coyotes were also saying, 'Pay me record numbers' under Donald Trump because he’s building a border wall. Coyotes will always make the message that you need to make a lot of money, and the number has exponentially increased for crossing into the United States depending on the policy. The policies of the United States have been and remain deterrence-based. They try to keep people out of the country always. I think what you’ll hear from Ambassador Jacobson today is also a focus on so-called root causes, why people leave their home country in the first place, which is sort of a concurrent challenge that this administration has said they are going to tackle. How do you deal with climate change, food insecurity, acute malnutrition, people starving to death in places like Chiquimula and Zacapa, Guatemala, where I've been and seen with my own eyes?"
