      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.

      The same is very, very true here in the US. With land border crossings being overrun with literally thousands of illegal immigrants daily, the US is at crisis - we cannot afford to support these people. 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.

    Is it Freedom or Greed that motivates people. There's a price to pay for both and your life is more valuable than money.

    Good work, Fifth Estate. You've always championed in investigative journalism. Hope these people are extradited to India to serve punishment. No family should go through such a scathing experience 🫡🫡🫡

    This family outsmarted themselves and ended up paying the ultimate price! I only feel sorry for their innocent children!

    No matter what anyone thinks here, the fact is that a family of 4 lost their lives. So very sad! 😔 Excellent reporting btw! 👏👏

      True, but look out the whole picture , nothing has changed. People from india are still doing it more than before, probably when you deal with illegal matters you should be aware of the consequences, people now in days that's the last thing people want to hear

      The father didn’t feel the same way you do…..
      I have zero sympathy for his ilk.

    This is tragic. Man, I feel so bad for the children. Children deserve to be happy. That's what childhood is for.

    Maybe this family man was going to the US to be a trusted contact for his brother's/family's business.

    Let's find the ones that encouraged it/didn't stop it. Oh , that's right, we already know who that is.
