the great lakes have been a hotbed of of "people smuggling'" and illegal immigration for decades now. Certain drugs as well. Hashish from Lebanon and Afghanistan has always been smuggled from Canada to the U.S. The existence of Chinese and S.E. Asian illegal immigration routes have been known along the borders of the great lakes for 50 years or more.
If you live along the shores of the great lakes you're aware of this, but inlanders seldom hear about it.
