They do arrest the coyotes, when they can catch them on U.S. soil. The problem is that many (almost all) of the coyotes who are bringing the asylees are staying outside of the U.S. (or enter only momentarily to help the migrants across). U.S. law enforcement and border patrol has no jurisdiction in Mexico.
Correct. They arrest very few because they almost never cross themselves. They are paid to bring the migrants to the border, which is (usually, if they're remotely honest**) what they do. They drop them off and point "go that way", and then drive off.
**There are occasional stories of migrants being left by the side of the road, miles from the border. The coyote took the money, and then ditched them. But that is rare since they want more migrants, and word of mouth is their best advertising.
