When I worked with BP we would tell people crossing they had to declare any smuggled people and pay taxes on them. Worked most of the time.
Edit:/s Although I'm sure it's worked once.
Extreme stress does weird things to people, border control see people crossing every single day they see how most people react when they have nothing to hide.
Direct confrontation rarely works so doing it in an indirect way so they essentially tell on themselves works way more.
