At least one human smuggler in Mexico—commonly known as a coyote—says he’s seen an 80 percent drop in business since President
Donald J. Trump was inaugurated just over a month ago. The
revelation, relayed by NBC News’s Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez, suggests President Trump’s swift move to
secure the southern
border and implement the mass deportations of
illegal immigrants is discouraging foreign nationals from even attempting illegal crossings.
According to U.S.
government officials, there are currently an estimated 229 illegal border crossings each day, a steep decline from the over 11,000 per day crossing high that occurred under the former Biden government. Illegal crossing began to plummet between December and January as Trump was set to take office, with many would-be
illegal immigrants deciding to forego attempting to cross into the U.S., fearing they would be caught and deported once Trump assumed office.
The coyote, Gutierrez claims, is now contemplating raising his fees for those still determined to enter the country unlawfully. Additionally, while the smuggler contends the
placement of the U.S. military along the border is “foolishness,” he also acknowledged that the impact has been noticeable in deterring would-be illegal border crossers.
President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has
overseen a slew of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids—primarily targeting violent, illegal immigrant criminals and organized crime rings. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has also ramped up deportation
flights, with thousands of illegal immigrants being flown to Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and—in the case of the most dangerous—the U.S. military installation at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
