Insights from an Anthropologist’s On-the-Ground Experience with Human Smugglers in Mexico

Credited from: CNN

  • Jason De León began his journey into understanding human smuggling by talking with young men labeled as "bad people" outside a migrant shelter.
  • De León's research highlights the complicated and often misunderstood nature of smugglers, who frequently share similar hardships with migrants.
  • His book, "Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling," illustrates the dire conditions and risks involved in the smuggling trade.
  • As Mexico becomes increasingly dangerous for migrants due to violence and corruption, smugglers also face heightened risks and instability.
  • De León discusses how political changes, especially under Trump, could exacerbate conditions for both migrants and smugglers, driving up costs and dangers.
