A Mexican man, identified as the leader of a human smuggling ring, has been convicted and sentenced to 7 1/2 years in federal prison for trafficking at least 1,000 illegal migrants into Phoenix, Arizona. This case highlights a broader issue of human smuggling, with criminal gangs, including Albanian gangs, reportedly making up to £1.6 million a day by smuggling people into Britain via the English Channel on small boats. These operations are not only lucrative but also deadly, with one of the country's deadliest attempts being scrutinized for the smugglers' indifference to the migrants' dreams, focusing solely on financial gains. Additionally, smuggling gangs have launched a specific service, charging £18,000 to smuggle women and children into the UK to reunite them with male relatives already in the country. This revelation comes amid reports of smugglers exploiting the U.S. 'parole' program, led by Mayorkas, selling access for $5,000.
