Several illegal Indian migrant workers who were recently deported from the US have recounted their ordeal to BBC Punjabi, describing humiliation, debt and shattered dreams.
At least 54 men, who had entered the US through the "donkey route" - often used by traffickers to facilitate illegal crossings - landed in the country's capital Delhi on Sunday.

Of the 54 deportees who returned on Sunday, BBC Punjabi met 15 men in Haryana's Kaithal district who say they are now uncertain about their future.
Harjinder Singh, a farmer who had spent 3.5m rupees (£29,653; $39,624) to go to the US four years ago, said he worked there as a cook - a job he took so that he could support his children back home.
"My hopes have been dashed, it is a pity that I could not do anything," said
Mr Singh, adding he cannot forget the humiliation he was put through during the deportation process.
With all his savings gone, he is worried about his children's future.
Another deportee, Naresh Kumar, said he had sold land and paid 5.7 million rupees to agents who promised to get him to the US.
He left for Brazil in January 2024, from where he travelled to the US. "My relatives kept giving me money from time to time while I was on the way," Mr Kumar said.
But before he could start a new life there, Mr Kumar was arrested for illegally entering the country. "I spent 14 months in jail and then they sent me to India."
BBC Punjabi has reached out to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for comment.
Meanwhile, Rajat Pal from Karnal district who reached the US via Panama, described his journey as "very dangerous".

So, do they now understand the word ‘illegal’?
Asking for a friend...
“he cannot forget the humiliation he was put through during the deportation process.”
…I hope it was the cavity search that was upsetting
I hope that these deported illegal invaders will tell their fellow Indians to stop trying to come to the USA illegally.
So, do they now understand the word ‘illegal’? Asking for a friend...
looks like that’s a “no.”
BBC. The booger finder pf internayional news.
Headline broken.
“Employmen HOPE rises for US Citizens while Indian (dot) losers sent home.”
There, I fixed it for US!
Brits in “Cuckistan” can stick it.
He spent 14 months in jail because he failed to sign a voluntary deportation and fought the process. If he had signed, he would have been gone in days.
He could have stayed in Brazil or Colombia or Panama or Costa Rica or Mexico or any of the 10 countries he went through.
All those countries are considered civilized Western capitalist countries. They are ALL preferable to India (with it’s caste system). But he got greedy just like all the other miserable filthy illegal aliens that come the the US. India can keep their Dalit’s and Thuggee’s.
Need to step it up if we are going to make a real dent in 4 years.
👍👍👍👍👍
Europe is in trouble with third wirld immigrants and woke culture. If you are European descendant, you should go back to Europe and help out.
We need to step it up if we are going to make a real dent deporting the Indian population here.....
India’s foreign ministry, says only 2,417 Indians were deported between Jan and Sept 2025.
Taking much too long.....move ‘em out now.
Well, have a “dash” of curry with your dashed dreams!!
Fill out paperwork to become a citizen and wait your turn if they really want your American “dream” coming true. Jumping the line isnt an option any longer.
Right.
oh no kidding!!! Keep your asses in India, please.
“Fix your own damn country instead of bringing your third world crap here.”
The same applies to Kalifornians and New Yorkers moving to other states. They may be leaving the communists in their home states, but they are still brainwashed into basic liberalism and will vote accordingly.
Back to the thread’s story, I do not feel a damn bit sorry for any of these assholes that come here illegally and get caught. If the want that so called “American Dream”, then do it legally and assimilate into the culture.
Better your hopes than those of my son.
I have posted before that this administration needs to remove the Emma Lazarus poem from the Statue Of Liberty. Idiots believe it’s equal to the Constitution, and believe it’s an invitation to come and ruin our country. In the last couple weeks I’ve heard people in man-on-the-street interviews quote it.
At the beginning, it welcomed people who wanted to come and be Americans. Now it welcomes people who want to come and destroy Americans.
