Craig Larrabee

In the past, smuggling organizations were mom-and-pop, now, they are organized and tied in with the cartels. So, you have a criminal organization who has no regard for the safety of the migrants. They are treated like commodities rather than people.

The organizations are getting more violent — they don’t care about the people, they don’t think of them as people. They think of them as commodities.
