The St Lawrence River separates Ontario from New York state.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said Friday a Quebec man was allegedly trying to smuggle three men into the United States on a personal watercraft when it capsized Wednesday morning near the east end of Cornwall Island in Akwesasne Mohawk territory.
Two men from India drowned, officials said, while another Indian migrant and the accused smuggler were rescued and taken into custody.
Locals said Saturday it's about a 15-minute trip to New York state from Ontario by boat, making it a well-known route for smugglers.

Immigration is a problem in Canada. Did you know that Indian and Sikh Gangs are the 2nd largest criminal group in Canada? Guess who is first? Another immigrant group, particularly the Triads and Yakuza. People look at me like im crazy for saying immigration is bad.

I don't. What is the ratio of legal to illegal immigration now? And every illegal immigrant is, by definition, a criminal as soon as he/she crosses the border.

Years ago a friend and I stayed with his aunt and uncle for a week in Waddington, New York, They had a small motorboat and we took it out onto the St. Lawrence river, and from Waddington Beach to Lakeshore Drive on Ottawa is not even 15 minutes.
There is some danger though, with large ships as much as 700' long navigating through those waters.
