The issue with the topic of migration, according to author and anthropologist Jason De Len, is that people "pedal these very simplistic stories and it's a very complex issue." De Le Le spent seven years meticulously examining the lives of guys who were committed to smuggling migrants into the United States from Mexico and Central America in order to investigate the problem of human smuggling.
