The Invisible Human Cost of Border Policies
The grave of Roberto in Honduras bears the wrong death date-a final indignity for someone society deemed disposable. Unlike media portrayals of predatory smugglers, Roberto was just a skinny Honduran kid guiding others through familiar terrain. His modest funeral represents countless others caught in the clandestine migration economy-desperate people with nicknames like Kingston, Flaco, and Alma, whose real identities often remain mysteries until etched on tombstones. Through seven years of immersive fieldwork, anthropologist Jason De Leon gained unprecedented access to smugglers' lives, revealing a perspective rarely seen. While politicians debate border security in abstract terms, the reality is that America's border policies have created the very smuggling networks they claim to fight. This isn't just about "bad people" exploiting others-it's about a complex ecosystem born from desperation, inequality, and misguided enforcement strategies. In an upscale Tegucigalpa restaurant, I sit among Honduras' elite while outside lies a country ravaged by poverty and violence. I'm here to interview members of GOET, a Honduran police force created during the Obama administration to prevent migration. Despite wearing Honduran flags, these agents receive significant American support. Their mission: intercept migrants without proper documentation. The agents candidly acknowledge the desperation driving their fellow citizens to flee. "Many migrants have told me they would prefer to die en el camino than stay home and wait to die from gang violence or hunger," one admits. Honduras-the original "banana republic"-suffers from decades of U.S. intervention and extreme inequality, with nearly half the population living on less than $5.50 per day.
