'It's about money, not people:' Immigration experts describe human smuggling business

Police in a western state of India have begun delving deeper into the deaths of four Indian migrants whose bodies were found in Manitoba just short of the Canada-U. S. border.
Ashish Bhatia, director general of police in Gujarat, says investigators are trying to determine whether there was a travel agent in India who helped the group.
"It's very clear that these people went to Canada and they were illegally trying to enter the U.S.A., so ... we are looking into that," Bhatia said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
RCMP found the bodies of a man, a woman, a teen and a baby last week near Emerson, Man. Police believe they had tried to cross into the United States during a heavy snowstorm in freezing temperatures.
Investigators have said they believe the deaths are linked to a human smuggling scheme.
