Chinese undocumented immigrants working cannabis farms

Human trafficking is real, and, as usual, I'm reminded that the people who are willing to go through this to find work are the sort of people I want in my community: NPR: Inside the Chinese-funded and staffed marijuana farms springing up across the U.S.

Watching Douyin videos, L. learned how to zouxian, or "walk the line," to the U.S.-Mexico border. First, he flew to Turkey, then Ecuador. He then took a grueling, monthlong trip from South America to Mexico that included buses, boats and a long walk through the hazardous Darién Gap jungle.

And, as is generally the case, US immigration policy is just a way to use government resources to back up modern day slavery.
