Honesty and lies about immigration
Mark Sappenfield
Monitor contributor Jody Garc铆a uncovers something interesting in her story today about patterns of illegal immigration.聽
The human smugglers and聽traffickers exploiting the situation promise a false sense of cooperation. Basically, they tell vulnerable people, 鈥淲e can help you get over the border safely.鈥� Meanwhile, humanely resolving the situation depends significantly on true cooperation, with nations coming together to manage a crisis that, by definition, ignores borders.
It鈥檚 a reminder that, in immigration and beyond, the line between progress and predatory behavior is almost always honesty.
