Crossing through Mexico, a country plagued by drug cartels that also make millions from migrant smuggling, has long been a risk. Legal, free channels that can mitigate danger have always been available through the government. The Mexican government loosened criteria for some temporary and transit permits, but with the influx of migrant arrivals, it takes months just to get an appointment to begin the process. Amid the waits and tension, it’s tempting to pay fixers and lawyers.
