You would be surprised at the stuff that people go through to get into some countries. The most despicable ones to have come to light lately were from a gang who shipped economic refugees INTO Haiti via the DR in the first few days following the earthquake, actually gave them physical injuries to make it appear that they were injured in the quake and then had them medevaced to the first world country that their fake paperwork allegedly claimed they came from. They then claim asylum upon arrival in the country that arranged to medevac them thinking they were a citizen.
