MEXICO CITY ¨C For the human smugglers who ferry migrants northward from Central America, the return of Donald Trump is a welcome New Year gift that promises to supercharge their business.
¡°Bless Donald Trump for winning,¡± said one people smuggler, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from Mexico¡¯s authorities as well as its drug cartels.
¡°We¡¯re eagerly waiting January 20th to be back in business and start earning some more dollars,¡± said the 45-year-old, who has spent the past six years transporting undocumented migrants ¡ª most from Central America and the Caribbean ¡ª to the United States.
