Human traffickers are finding increasingly creative ways of shuttling Central American migrants through Mexico to the U.S. border and that includes hiring Uber-registered drivers.Not so good:
On June 10, five vehicles carrying 34 Central American migrants were apprehended while traveling together between the northern Mexican states of Zacatecas and Coahuila, said Segismundo Doguin, a Coahuila state official at the National Migration Institute.
Four of the vehicles were linked to the Uber Technologies Inc platform, Doguin said, but it was unclear whether the human smugglers had hailed the drivers using the Uber app. The drivers said they were not the owners of the cars but worked as Uber chauffeurs, he said.
Uber Mexico said in a statement that it bore no responsibility but was cooperating with authorities.

ReplyDeleteProhibitionists want to think that people will merely throw their hands into the air and say "well, that's that, then!"
And I used the word Prohibition here correctly, because current immigration policies in the US and in most places are prohibitionist in essence.
What is heroic about this? Just because there is a market demand for something (in this case, a market demand to invade another country) doesn't mean that it is a good thing or heroic in any sense. It doesn't meet the victimless crime conditions of Walter Blocks's Defending the Undefendable.
