    we had to use coyotes when we left mexico for the united states and that experience has left my entire family in desperate need of psychological counseling for the last 5 decades.

    my heart breaks for the people who have to do something similar.

        it’s the american and mexican nickname for people who smuggle people across the border for money.

        coyotes usually learn their craft by being part of the drug cartels; so the people who pay the money are also commonly kidnapped by the coyotes for ransom money from the family and they’re killed if the family doesn’t pay.

        children are especially lucrative for them.

          Jesus christ, I should have guessed. I thought you somehow took used coyotes(the animeal) to cross the border and was honestly curious as to how. I hope everything ended up okay for y’all, sorry you had to experience that.

            i’ve been getting the help i need thanks to believing in medical science and psychotherapy.

            my older family members and my science denying family members are the ones who need the sympathy because they will never seek the help they need and/or continue to put their faith into their orange jesus or a bottle to make themselves feel better.
