Default People Smugglers

It is heart wrenching to see people die in front of your DSLR lens.
I still don't know how I would react given if was there with my camera.
People smugglers should be given the most severe criminal penalty.Rough seas hamper search for more victims from asylum-seeker boat at Christmas Island | The Australian

Click on the "video" link to see how the rescue was so dangerous in rough swells. Bodies hit the sharp rocks like rag dolls.

I didn't understand it as "smuggling" as much as refugees fleeing...
Still hard to "participate in"...

These boat people were victims of "People Smugglers". The one's who offered them a promised land in return for their whole life savings. One way to stop boat people traffic is to get to the root of these rort by getting these people smugglers.
