Is it Safer to Live there than it is to Cross Through Mexico?

  Today, do a little thinking about the human trafficking we are concerned about.
  Now, President Trump, Utah Sen. Mike Lee and much of the nation want the migrants to take their asylum in Mexico. They argue, there is no need to come to America. Just take your asylum in Mexico.
   The rest of us ask, is it save for them there? Think of this: On one hand, we tell them they are fine staying in Mexico, taking their asylum there. And, on the other hand, we tell them they are endangering themselves and their children by crossing Mexico to get to the United States, for the human traffickers are picking them off, raping them, forcing them into labor, etc.
   So, on one hand, we tell them to take their asylum in Mexico? And, on the other hand, we tell them it isn't safe to cross Mexico, due to the human traffickers? So, is it safer to stay there and live in the land of the human traffickers than it is to merely cross that land?
