Yesterday evening I had a great conversation with Juan & Cristobal who live in the little town of San Sebastián where I am Nite Camped. I was curious about their experiences illegally crossing the border.
Me: "Where did you cross the border?"
Juan: "In Arizona"
Cristobal: "Me also in Arizona."
Me: "Did you walk across the border?"
Cristobal: "Yes."
Me: "Was that in the desert? Was it night time?"
Juan & Cristobal: "Yes, in the desert at night."
Me: "Did you walk very far?"
Juan & Cristobal: "No. The coyote came with a truck and drove to Phoenix."
Me: "Was it dangerous? Did the Border Patrol come in trucks with bright lights looking for you?
Juan & Cristobal: "No. The coyote paid the Border guys money to leave us alone."
Me: "What?! The Border Patrol gets paid by the coyote? How much do they pay?"
Juan: "Yes, they pay them. Not too much money."
Note: I have no knowledge about the Border Patrol. The conversation above is only what these two guys told me.
