I'm guessing the term originated with the human traffickers themselves as a euphemism. "The coyotes will help you across the desert," sounds better than, "Juan is going to stuff you in this trunk and rape you across the desert."
Why are we worried about dehumanizing rapey vermin?
To me, the colloquialism is "I'm going to eat your child out of your womb and leave you for dead." I grew up watching the critters kill laboring cows, though. Still seems pretty apt.
And I once listened to a guy actually brag about how his cousin raped a goat to death because he was angry at his (the goat's) owner. But I'm not allowed to accuse all humans of that race/ethnicity of being goat-fuckers. EVEN THOUGH THEY PROBABLY ARE.
Humans have done worse than that, on a regular basis, and never see anything wrong with what they do - yet CLAIM THEY KNOW HOW TO ACT BETTER, but don't.
A Coyote can't use a gun. Imagine being forced to beat a cow to death with your bare hands because you're hungry. You cruel bastard, maybe YOU should "just starve", too. Oh, they stole one of your cows? Do you go stealing THEIR food? Do you hunt deer, poison rabbits and gophers? Pick berries to sell on the roadside for quick cash? Humans don't even THINK when they fuck with things, they just assume everything is Man's, and get offended when someone else act like they might think they're entitled to something in life, too.
Frankly, using non-human names on humans is more of an insult to the non-human.
It's not a term of endearment. The productos call the smugglers coyotes due to their predatory/scavenging nature.
