Is Corruption Impacting Migrants?

A drainage system running from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, to El Paso, Texas, has become a popular route for wealthy individuals, often referred to as “VIPs,” who are willing to pay Mexican cartels for assistance in illegally entering the United States. The cost for this illicit service ranges from $6,000 to nearly $15,000 or more.

The increased security measures along the U.S.-Mexico border have inadvertently boosted the profits of Mexican criminal organizations, making migrants more likely to resort to illegal and dangerous routes to enter the U.S. Critics argue that instead of addressing the root causes of immigration issues, the U.S. government is allowing criminal groups to control migration, leading to corruption.

Criminal organizations have increasingly shifted their focus from drug trafficking to migrant smuggling, taking advantage of the demand for illegal entry into the U.S.
