Traditional vs modern media on human smuggling

Human smugglers are openly advertising their services on FB, falsely telling Central Americans interested in crossing illegally into the United States that they can promise a ‘100 percent’ safe journey. It's a lucrative business. Meanwhile, traditional posts are removed by FB mainly from the conservative ones such as NY Post and of course, Trump. As of today, Customs and Border Protections (CBP) expects to have encountered over 171,000 migrants in the month of March 2021 alone, including 18,800 unaccompanied children. The highest since 2006. POTUS’s DHS may restart construction on the U.S.-Mexico border wall to fill any “gaps” in the current barrier, says DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. NBC News did great reporting worth reading. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/human-smugglers-use-facebook-connect-migrants-spread-false-hope-reaching-n1262984
