Good read.

Arrest and deportation by law enforcement, robbery, kidnapping, extortion, and murder at the hands of transnational criminal organizations: these are the dangers migrants increasingly face.

When people want to vilify migrants, they completely fail to grasp that they go through all that (above quote) to get here because what they're fleeing from is far worse.
