The Border Crisis on the Other Side of the Border

As Julio spoke animatedly to Néstor, I tried to get a head count.

"How did you get here?" Néstor asked Julio.

"We are in danger. We need to get the f**k out of here." I didn't acquire Néstor from the local missionary society.

Néstor's eyes grew wide: "He says 15,000 pesos per day, per occupant." He looked directly at me.

Néstor chuckled: "You know those vendors who are always annoying you on our streets?" His eyebrows were raised in a bemused look.

"These people think we are armed." Néstor looked anxious.

As we drove away, Néstor pointed: "See that bar? Police raided it last week. Child prostitution. Little boys and little girls. People sell them for food."
