Deckard said a friend in Florida was approached by a man who wanted passage for Brazilians living in the U.S. to Toronto, which is a magnet for immigrants who can find work without government work permits or social security numbers.
The idea appealed to Deckard, who said he had helped several people in the Brazilian community fill out immigration forms and get money owed them by a cleaning company, even after learning the workers lacked legal documentation.
