If someone is willing to deal with criminals to get here, they could very well be willing to deal with criminals once they are here to get other family here or to protect themselves from the organized crime they were involved with to get here.
Many of the "boat people" from Vietnam during the 70s and 80s were in situations like that. Many people got pulled in to heroin trafficing to ensure their safety once they were here.
