India nationals illegally crossing the US-Mexico border in record numbers, pay smugglers up to $25G
FOX News ^ | August 10, 2018 | By William Lajeunesse

The surge of Central Americans crossing into the U.S. claiming asylum is no secret around the world. Just a snapshot of those caught entering on any given day is stunning – Nigeria, Romania, Nepal – in addition to the hundreds of Mexicans, Guatemalans and Hondurans.

But one of the fastest-growing groups of illegal immigrants come not from the barrios of South America or the slums of Africa, but mega-sized cities in India – 8,000 miles away from the tiny town of El Centro, California, where a handful of Indian nationals are illegally entering the U.S. every day, officials say.

Unable to obtain H1b visas, which are given to highly skilled workers, because of a crackdown on the visas by the Trump administration, and because of a fear that Sikhs are coming under attack by fundamentalist groups in their country, Indians are heading to the U.S. -- illegally -- in droves.

In 2015, agents caught six immigrants from India trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico. So far this fiscal year, the figure is already at more than 3,400.

Agents said they arrest roughly five to 10 Indian nationals a day, with most young men claiming asylum as victims of political or religious persecution. Women, who often belong to a lower class in India's stratified caste system, claim abuse or fear of retribution from families in a higher social class.

India?

If they have the cash for that, why dont they just buy a plane ticket to Toronto, and use the other 20 THOUSAND DOLLARS to just rent a cheap apartment over in Windsor?

It isnt like PM Trudie is going to make a fuss!

“and because of a fear that Sikhs are coming under attack by fundamentalist groups in their country”

So their only option is to end up 13000 miles away in the United States?

Build the wall and they CANNOT come.

The ONLY consideration for immigration should be IF the person or people in question are a benefit to the nation they wish to immmigrate to AND if they can support themselves and any family memebers WITHOUT use of American tax dollars.

ANY exception to that should be members of the Judeo-Christian faith from Muslim countries. Special consideration also for white property owners from socialist African nations facing the VERY real prospect of death at the hands of savage mobs in those African cesspools.

Just my two cents, folks.

According to our asylum laws, only fear of GOVERNMENT persecution is a ground for asylum. Your drunk husband beating you up is your problem. Democrats want to change this, of course, to fatten their voter base.

The Vietnam War begat a Cajun-Thai restaurant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. If you liked spicy food, THAT was the place to go.

The chinese just fly in on tourist visas and disappear. I know of several that did this. No one complains about this though as we need more and more massage parlors.

Deport illegal Indians, illegal Irish, illegal Poles, illegal Mexicans, illegal Chinese, illegal Hondurans, illegal Somalis, and all other illegals. No exceptions.
