When immigration was very permissive in the US the shipping companies that brought people to the US we’re financially responsible for the return of attempted immigrants if they were not given entrance at Ellis Island (about 2%) and they were financially responsible for the housing of any on Ellis Island if they were quarantined or held for any other reason.

Now, when immigration is legally restrictive. The transportation and robbing and worse of the attempted immigrants is the side hustle of violent drug cartels who use the distraction of the masses to smuggle other contraband across the border.
