4 found dead near Manitoba-U.S. border may be part of larger human smuggling operation | CBC News

Steve Shand is accused of human smuggling after seven people were picked up just south of the U.S. border on Wednesday. Four others, who were believed to be with the group, were found dead in a field in Manitoba.

The driver of that van, 47-year-old Steve Shand of Florida, was arrested and charged with human smuggling. The group of five people were all wearing the same type of clothes — new black winter coats with fur-trimmed hoods, black gloves, black balaclavas and insulated rubber boots, Stanley said in his affidavit.

Stanley's affidavit says a border patrol agent told him there had been three other recent incidents of human smuggling — on Dec. 12 and 22, 2021, and Jan. 12, 2022 — at the same location where Shand was arrested. The people in the group of five taken into custody near where Shand was arrested told officials they had walked across the border expecting to be picked up by someone. They estimated they had been walking around for more than 11 hours.

This is not a human smuggling operation. This is about people who are OK with flouting the laws of a country and entering it using fraudulent means. They pay smugglers to get them through. The focus should be on these unethical people, not the smugglers.

Also. 2 murderers, 1 sex offender, 2 MS-13 gang members arrested in 30 hours by RGV Border Patrol. - US citizen from Houston caught smuggling 28 illegal immigrants. - Migrants apprehended from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Syria, & Mauritania.

And there are those on SM talking about how these poor people were SO desperate to flee the tyrannies of Canada and PMJT that they risked their lives to escape... to America Gimme a break. No one wants or needs to 'escape' from Canada. And to the US Absolute worst choice.
