Most coyotes charge a fortune to smuggle people across the border. But this guy? He charges nada—and only takes passengers who are running for their lives, not chasing the American Dream on a whim.
📖 Starting Paragraph:
They called him El Fantasma del Norte, though he wasn’t a ghost—just really good at being invisible when the job required it. Unlike the other coyotes in Sonora, he didn’t count pesos or bargain with fear. His only payment? A cause worth risking it all for. Marta, a teacher blacklisted for organizing protests in Oaxaca. David, a journalist whose last article earned him a death threat. These weren’t just clients. They were passengers on his underground railroad, and he was the last train out of tyranny.
❓ Three Thought-Provoking Questions:
- What happens when someone breaks the law in the name of a higher moral law—should they be condemned or celebrated?
- Is it possible for someone with a criminal title (like “coyote”) to actually be a hero?
- If you had to risk everything for your freedom, who would you hope was waiting on the other side?
