Could this be Why Some Americans want open borders?

For years I have felt that borders should be checked due to human trafficking. But some American are crossing the border to have access to those who are trafficked, ignoring the pandemic.

Americans are still paying for sex in Mexico despite the pandemic
By Matt Rivers and Natalie Gallón, CNN

Women are being killed in Mexico at record rates, but the president says most emergency calls are 'false'
She cautiously agreed to speak with us somewhere private. CNN producer Natalie Gallón let her borrow some everyday clothes, so she wouldn't attract the attention of the hotel staff when we arrived.
"Things are really bad for me, right now," said the several-year veteran of the industry, now in her mid-twenties. "I'm constantly worried, every single day."
She said the pandemic has hit her in two ways, watching her customer base decline while also exponentially increasing the risk of an already dangerous job.
"I just have no idea what's going to happen, or if I'm going to get infected," she said, shifting nervously from side to side in her chair as we spoke.
She's tried to put extra sanitation measures in place. Her clients now have to shower and wash their hands before being with her. She has implemented a no-kissing rule and uses hand sanitizer gel throughout the process.
But this is sex. Physical contact is unavoidable. Alejandra knows this but says she has no choice. The only way she can provide for her 6-year-old daughter is by going to work.
"If I don't work, we don't eat," she said. "What will I do tomorrow if I end up getting sick? But I still have to go out even though I don't want to."

People congregate in Tijuana's Zona Norte, known for its sex work industry on January 20, 2019.
Another sex worker we spoke to who uses the name Adanna, said she's only been able to afford not to work because two of her regular American clients send her some money each month.
"Without them, I don't know what I'd do," saying that even with the payments she barely gets food on the table for her 5-year-old daughter.
If the government says it's safe enough for the businesses to reopen, Adanna told us she'd go right back to work.
Jaqueline Aguilar, 34, a transgender sex worker in Ensenada, about two hours south of Tijuana, told CNN over the phone that she returned to work because she had to make ends meet.
She's been a sex worker since she was 13 and her day-to-day fears have changed since the pandemic hit Mexico.
"Before, my fears were of violence, that a client would kill me or hurt me. Now, my fear is the pandemic, to go out and God forbid I get infected and can't work. How would I eat?"
The government keeps track of workers in different industries who have gotten the virus, in sectors like healthcare. No such data exists for sex workers.
Aguilar, who is also a founder of an organization supporting transgender women and women in the sex industry, says she knows of at least three colleagues who had Covid-19 symptoms but never got tested. Rather, she said, they isolated at home.
'I feel completely safe'
We spoke to business owners and sex workers during the day in Tijuana, but the only way to get a true gauge on the situation in the red-light district is to head out at night.
This is not a place where journalists are welcome, so we rode through the streets with Baja California State Police.
At first glance, a lot of businesses look closed. The front doors at some of the bigger and more famous strip clubs are locked. Smaller places have metal gates pulled down over storefronts.
But a closer look prompts questions. Why, if the bigger strip clubs are closed, did many we pass still have bouncers out front? Why, if the sex hotels are closed, did many have women out front beckoning people inside?
"The trade is still happening," said the police commander driving the pickup we were in. "It's just happening behind closed doors."

That fact was quickly confirmed by the Americans we saw and heard on the streets and one American we met, standing outside a sex hotel where he'd been staying for a few days, hiring different women.
"Lots of Americans here," said the man who appeared to be in his late 50's and asked that we not use his name. "They walk across the border and they come here and do their thing."
He said he's being safe, wiping his hotel room down with antibacterial wipes and not eating indoors. All very safe, except for the part where he has sex with a stranger, which he says he and other Americans here have no problem with.
"I believe I'm pretty well educated about all of this," he said. Challenged by the fact that experts on viral epidemiology would universally disagree with him, he would only say he feels, "completely safe."
His ignorance about the risks is what puts the lives of the women he hires in danger. But, he's also helping them put food on the table.
They are the two sides of a very dangerous coin.

Ok, if you're so smart tell us how to maintain the 6' social distance the CDC is pushing when having sex with our GF/BF/spouse? Go down south and the CDC has no authority.

Well people aren’t maintaining social distancing. Look at the riots. I am pretty sure that those crossing the border to have sex don5 care about the potential spread at all. Actually most people don’t it seems.
There is a thread about it on here somewhere, how to have sex during a pandemic. Pretty funny read. You might want to search it out.

Some people are crossing the border to access those who have previously been trafficked to the USA. No worries about the virus but the workers are worried, as the article states.
