Ted Cruz, and the Horror Story at the Border

They would have far more value than your average wet back, I'm of the opinion they are a very different type of commodity than your general migrant,

For sex and servitude, worth going the extra distance

Like a wrist band at a night club.

No way is a criminal going to send anyone anywhere if they have not paid.

Then, by logic, they should all be the same color.  

They send people who haven't fully paid so their associates can pick them up on the other and make them 'work' off their debt forever and ever.

If it was a bone fide business, yes. It isn't. It's a crime gang.
Once someone is in the US, they will vamoose.
Take the money up front, give them an armband to say they have paid, after that, their problem if they make it or not.

Cartels ARE a business!    

If they weren't they wouldn't even need arm bands.  They'd take the money and just send them on their way to sink or swim.

As if 6 or 7 yr old kids could vamoose.

I get the impression that the different colored armbands are so the villains on this side of the border know which gang the kids belong to.

It's good that Cruz is bringing this to the fore. His reasons don't matter. That he is, does. I'm not sure how to make the message louder.

Do these bands have a cooperate logo, ? Its window dressing on some ones part, fake news

If we know what they are doing then so does the rest of the world, I assume they have the internet in Mexico ?

Do you still use cheques in the US ?

Wonder what their Mission statement is ?

The Democratic National Committee has a reputation for writing good checks.

Yes, except these days it's spelt "checks."
