A lucrative and growing cross-border human smuggling market is attracting domestic and criminal organizations looking to cash in on moving “vulnerable” people from Canada into the U.S., according to the senior RCMP officer who oversees border policing.
Ok that makes more sense, I know there was a big news item last year about Canadians “Sneaking” into USA because it was warmer here last winter. But if you can make it to Canada (without being forced) then why not just stay in Canada, at least it’s better economically there than where they came from.
I imagine for many that they already have family in the US. No idea what percentage that might account for, though.
That’s probably true. I mean I’d rather be in the U.S. than in Canada or Mexico myself, but I’ve lived for a time in both and it was kind of wonderful - but then again, I’m not a native and I’m not under pressure to leave or migrate somewhere else.
