ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CROSSINGS

Coyotes’ main objectives are to help immigrants travel within an intermediate country
en route to the target border, cross borders into intermediate or target countries, and travel
without detection to final destinations within target countries once their borders are successfully
crossed. Several common strategies are used for border crossings, including some aimed at
5 successful deception at legal ports of entry. Coyotes may provide forged documents and
identities, or legal documents for temporary use, enabling migrants to successfully cross legal
ports of entry and immigration checkpoints once across the border. They may also conceal
migrants as passengers or cargo in vehicles that are legally crossing. Coyotes may also assist
migrants to cross at illegal points of entry along the border, while successfully evading the U.S.
10 Border Patrol, frequently guiding migrants by foot through arduous terrain such as desert, brush,
and mountains to avoid immigration checkpoints.

They may use infrared scopes, cell phones, and computers to keep track of their clients’
destinations, often cooperating with other coyotes in a larger sophisticated network. Clients
may transition between several coyotes as they cross within and between countries. The need
15 for coyotes’ services among those who cannot achieve legal or less dangerous methods of entry
into the United States appears to outweigh concerns about their reliability, and may render
migrants vulnerable to coyotes’ many self-serving machinations. While marketing their
services as helpful and protective, coyotes are also known for deception and abuse of their
clients. This deception may begin with coyotes’ attempts to attract clients. In order to overcome
20 the reluctance of doubtful or fearful clients, coyotes may misrepresent such issues as the
dangers and difficulty of the terrain that migrants will travel through, the amount of time
required, conditions for transport, probability of successful arrival at their destination, total fees
for the coyote’s services, and the dangers of some coyotes’ trickery, and even violence.
