How do illegal immigrants afford to pay the cartel those multiple thousand dollar fees? They go into debt, in most cases.

Coyotes advertise on the radio in Guatemala....offer loans for many thousands of dollars with property as guarantee....when the payments can't be made...

....they often threaten violence, forcing many families to borrow from Banrural, the main bank in rural Guatemala, or from cooperatives and credit unions, all of which happily advertise credit on billboards above the rural area’s muddy roads.

Many families have come away with nothing more than regrets.

So the banks are involved, not a surprise.
