He also believes the "opioid epidemic" is because of drug smuggling over the border, rather than "doctors prescribe them legally and then people OD" Also apparently Mexico's "immigration laws" are related in some way to emigration

Another state hosed into poverty by GOP economic policy starts waking up. It's going to be very interesting to see how the Democrats approach 2020 from a strategic perspective. If they can nail down Penn and Michigan and the rest of Clinton's map holds (which at the moment there's little reason to think it wouldn't), they only need to win ONE other state. You have to think they're going all-in on North Carolina. They have a Governor's mansion to defend, a court-ungerrymandered House map to work with, there's a Senate seat up for grabs, and it's probably the most purple state in the entire south. We can also expect a strong push to lock up Maine and more-than-necessary effort in Colorado to capture that Senate seat. But beyond those obvious targets, where else do you go? Do you fight the hard rear end slog in Wisconsin to try and capitalize on taking the governor's mansion when it's one of the most polarized states in the union right now? Do you target Kansas since it has a Senate seat on the table to try and follow through on THAT gubernatorial win and the optics of R's in the statehouse switching parties? Do you gamble on Georgia with it's huge swell of democratic strength or pass on it because of the blatant electoral corruption Kemp is stacking against you? Do you try and help Jones keep his seat in Alabama for it's symbolic value or leave him to his fate? Do you aim to defend the Governor's mansion and pick up the Senate seat in Montana, or leave Tester as the last man standing? Missouri was the site of your biggest defeat in 2018, but the voters there showed an openness to leftist ideas despite that and it's governor's mansion is the most valuable one on the board for redistricting, so do you take the uphill fight or is it too big a risk? Do you look toward Iowa and weaponizing Steve King and Trump's abuse of farmers to try and get that Senate seat? Do you try to cash in all those  points you've been saving up and go hard on Arizona to seize McCain's Senate seat? And now maybe do you also ask the question if Louisiana and it's Senate Seat are in the game?This election is certainly going to be an interesting ride.

IDK enough about that specific scene, but calling literal guides through a dangerous area human trafficking is uh a bit of a stretch. I mean you get a similar dynamic on the southern border where like if someone is planning on crossing a bunch of miles of desert on foot, yeah they're going to want and need a guide, but vulnerable populations in a deliberately non-policed area are going to be predated upon. Point being that everyone involved is human and I'm sure there are plenty of people involved who are decent people and, like most things on the planet, if there is a non-policed area full of vulnerable people, there will be predators, too. Of course that all misses the point that that poo poo only exists because there is such an interest in disallowing legal forms of migration that it forces people into marginalization

When those guides are doing so with the express purpose of moving people illegally it literally does. But more to the point is that people like that guy they interviewed, cut the interview, and posted the interview in as favorable light as possible spent more time talking about what he made then about how he cared about those people. They're the sort of people who do this poo poo.

There are fascinating stories to hear, and moreover, it’s pointless to attack them when it’s the institution of immigration that puts them in this position, save the vitriol for those in power.

I dont think CBS ever wrote an article talking about how great the local dealer is though. Just because arresting them doesn't solve the endemic problem doesn't mean they're not a local problem. And it sure as hell doesn't mean they should be celebrated as humanitarians.
