  • Smugglers left the Patel family to cross the Canada-U.S. border on foot during a snowstorm in 2022. The family of four didn’t survive. Indian police say they know who planned the fatal border crossing. The Fifth Estate’s Steven D’Souza followed their trail from Gujarat, India, to a suburb in Canada.

      The dream is not gone at all. The fact that families risk their lives just for the chance to live here is proof that that dream is still alive. Remember to be grateful for where you live and have compassion for those who are not as lucky as we are.

    Let me preface my post by writing this is nothing short of tragic. Unnecessary deaths, imo. However, I do have a question. If a family can gather 100,000 CAD to hire someone to illegally smuggle their family member from India to the US, why not stay in India? If you convert the CAD to Rupees, you have slightly over 6,180,000. Doesn't that make an India national a multi-millionaire? Maybe money doesn't work that way in India? Make it make sense.

We have this AHAR report (from HUD) revealed that 653,104 people nationwide were homeless, defined by the agency as lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. That number reflects an increase of 70,642 people over 2022 - a 12 percent jump in one year.

      You can't be serious, you have no idea what you're talking about. So many American families live in poverty, living without food/shelter/basic needs. Educate yourself not everyone in North America have everything to meet their basic needs.

    Why didn't you give the all the details and proofs of the smuggler to Toronto Police soon after you reached the suspect at his home?...The police can't do anything to arrest him?

      if he gets caught dropping off people at the border, that should be a good evidence to get him arrested.

      Diplomatic relations between India and Canada have broken down. Canada has openly supported separatist Sikh. India has been accused by Canada govt of covert assassination.

    How can Fenil Patel walk so freely. We can see he has his family in the video as well. He led beautiful family to tragic moment just to live his own life luxuriously look at his house. These kind of people ruin the reputation of South Asia. Shame on this guy hopefully he gets punished for his doing-
