Well, you don't really have a say in who they have as guests. They're allowed to use their property as a revolving-door halfway house if that's what they want (unless they're involved in people-smuggling, which will be hard for you to determine).
However, if they're imposing on you through noise or casual trespassing, you do have a recourse for that.
Re: The trespassing: One possible course of action would be to try and reason with them regarding the number of people stepping on your property. Say something like
"I know this sound nitpicky, but that's a LOT of people walking across my lawn every day. Is there anything you can do to have your guests not walk on my lawn anymore?"
And then put a camera up, covering the problem area including the run-up to your neighbor's house. Put it in an obvious spot and make sure they know it's there. Now they know you know they're using their place as some kind of immigration halfway house (because you refereed to them having 'guests'), AND they know you have a picture of everyone's face who comes and goes.
And when it comes to the noise, complain to them a lot and give them ample warning so that it doesn't come as a surprise when you finally resort to calling the police.
This way you're recording everyone who's coming and going, and you've got the police's attention on them. So if there's anything fishy going on there (like maybe people smuggling, if not just health and safety concerns), they'll shut the fuck the up and stop bothering you, just to avoid any trouble.
My dumb 22 year old Arab neighbour pulls into his driveway every day blaring that same old middle eastern “Aalllaaaaah heeeerpy deeerrrrrrrpyyyyy” music that all Arabs and Pakis listen to.
So I started blasting Sepultura and Pantera. He got the point because I don’t hear shitty bongos and whining Trudeaus anymore .
Is there anything worse than Indian music? What a bunch of shit noise that is. Shrill, nasally, no rhythm, no melody, just garbage that offends the ears.
Don't involve the govt / police before you try to talk to them. Bring some food over and try to air things out. Having guests for the holidays doesn't seem too crazy, but if something illegal is going on, maybe you can record the conversation subtly and report anything to immigration authorities. I would also be saving up a down payment for a house, maybe out in the country. Fences make for better neighbors.

For the good of us all you have to make sure the police know about their dangerous noncompliance for social distancing.
Noncompliance for social distancing?
Before this year did you ever stop to wonder if you would utter such rubbish in your lifetime?
I want to die inside.

Byproduct of the Caste System, yes.

I would make this your landlord's problem. Call up your landlord and tell them to fix it, or you will fix it for them.
Buy some acreage and get out of the city.
Why not both?
pretend to get dog, play loud barking noises all day.
Nah, the dog is necessary to scare off anyone that tries to break in as the neighbourhood goes to shit.
Be a man and bark the noises yourself. Also assert your dominance by shitting on their front porch. It's the only way.
