Breitbart: Trump Victory Leads to Higher Migrant Border Crossing Fees by Mexican Cartels
Human smugglers in Mexico have significantly raised their fees to cross migrants into the U.S., with costs doubling from $5,000 to at least $10,000. This increase is attributed to heightened enforcement and the recent election of Donald Trump, which is expected to complicate border crossings.
Migrants from various regions, including Africa and Asia, report that additional services can push fees even higher, reaching up to $20,000. Notably, some Chinese migrants are paying as much as $55,000 for smuggling to the U.S., reflecting the broader trend of escalating smuggling costs.
