'Shackled for 25 hours': Deportees from Haryana share ordeal as their US dream dashed

"My feet are swollen. I was shackled for 25 hours (on the flight)," said 45-year-old Harjinder Singh, who was part of the latest batch of Indians deported by the US.

Expressing his ordeal, Singh also said he spent Rs 35 lakh to migrate to the US for a better life but his dreams of doing something good for the family are dashed now.

The latest batch of illegal migrants included around 50 people from Haryana's Kaithal, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Jind and Panipat districts, officials said.

A plane carrying them landed at the Delhi airport late on Saturday night.

The migrants -- most of them in the 25-40 age group -- expressed dejection at the deportation, saying that they had spent lakhs of rupees by selling off plots, borrowing from relatives and draining out their savings to migrate to the US in pursuit of a better future.

Most of them had taken the treacherous 'donkey route' to enter the US.

"I liked America. It is a good country but (President) Trump sent us back.

Many Indians have been deported," he further said.

Is this when I am supposed to get outraged and sad that someone who has broken the law is finally held accountable? Boo Hoo. They were only looking for a better life. Boo Hoo. Here’s a tip: Do it the right way and have at it. Do it the wrong way (illegal), no good life for you! Now get out.

So will the indian government tax the money the deported indians took out of india?

Wouldn't that money have been better spent investing in making india great......They could have put more Punch in their Jab.

They could have started a cow head shot website to get and share 'herd' shots of their favorite god like cowsssss.

They could have started a water buffalo hauling company to move goats....
