    For it to be kidnapping it’d have to be against their will. Since they’re illegally in the country, it’s human trafficking, but unlikely to be kidnapping.

    The decision, since they were already caught, is either “you’re being deported to Mexico” or “you can go to LA, a sanctuary city where you can not be deported”

    Again, it’s human trafficking for sure… But without more information it’s tough to say kidnapping.

      Yeah the pearl clutching is hilarious. It doesn’t really make sense for the states not directly affected by illegal immigration to force the states against it to accept and house them. Between the only two options (back to Mexico or free bus ride to a sanctuary city), this seems like the better of the two options.

      Shit, it’s not like California isn’t the best place out of the three options. No immigrants want to go to Texas where they know they’ll be hated, they just want to leave Mexico.
