People smuggling

Is it true that Samoa may have had a hand (a corrupt one) in the smugglimg of people from Asia to American Samoa? How sad if it is true but it has not come as a surprise. Any illegal undertaking utilising the global open market is bound to reach and influence Samoa. If illicit drug trafficking can occur targetting anywhere including the islands and make a ridiculous global profit of round $US320b (March 2008) then for the same reason people smuggling can be attractive to corrupt people in the islands who have been wooed by the $ sign.

Lets hope it is not true.
