'Shackled for 25 hours': Deportees from Haryana share ordeal as their US dream dashed
Economic Times India ^ | 10/27/2025 | PTI

Posted on 10/28/2025 3:17:08 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

"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.

“dream of a better life”

They all give the same sob story. Listen pal, you want a better life, breaking the law ain’t exactly the way to start it off, no more than robbing a bank is.

And why are democrats protesting this? They keep calling the USA an evil facist, racist country, yet they want illegal aliens to stay in such an “evil” place.

I remember in the 1990s my brother got a temp job in Vienna, Austria teaching English to some company, he got a visa I think it was for a year.

He speaks German fluently and they set him up with an apartment. It was really cool, I actually went and visted him I think it was in 1995 and had a great time although it was expensive as hell.

Anyway when his visa expired a few months later, immigration was at his door THE NEXT DAY!!! One freaking day and they deported him! ONE DAY!

And these people are complaining after staying here 20 years??

If they are interested in the “American Dream”, then why do they try it illegally? I suggest they go the route of my ancestors and become legal citizens, learn English and blend into the American culture. Both of my grandparents went to the extent of Americanizing the pronunciation of their last names.

Plenty of people in prison that knocked over a string banks and convenience stores hoping for a better life. Do they deserve it?

“He spent 14 months in jail” before being deported.

Must have done something pretty bad under the Auto-Pen.

$40K of travel expenses, some of it from the local shylock/legbreaker, only to be sent back? Not surprised they’re depressed.

“And why are democrats protesting this? “

I read the political news and it’s hard to believe it’s real. The Democrats seem to be on what I consider the bad side of every issue. The most insane would be changing the sex of children who are likely just trying to please the adults around them.

I remember the Democratic issues of yesteryear with my dad and his union friends. Nothing they wanted was crazy. Financially unsustainable, yes. But not cut someone’s healthy body parts off and dress them up with makeup crazy.

I suspect that the current Democrat policies derive from the Cloward Piven plan to destroy the present political order so everyone would rush to “true communism” to save themselves. They obviously didn’t read any history. The most ardent supporters of communism were always the first ones shot by the new communist government because the government knows that they are the most dangerous. It would be delicious irony, but I’d rather not enjoy that particular schadenfreude.

Why not preserve the American Dream for ... uhhh ... Americans?

As it is, foreign “talent” can \buy\ their American Dream and immigrate (in many and various ways).

All the while Americans, working on merit, lose jobs to those who can pay the right amount.

Need a new red-hat: American Dream for Americans

There are no 25hr flights he wasn’t shackled on the flight for 25hrs.

He was illegal so he forgot to mention that.

The AMERICAN DREAM is not free to foreign freeloading idiots. You have to earn it. Right now, because of Bidenskkyy’s 25 million imported invaders, WE’RE OUT OF AMERICAN DREAMS and “better lives” paid for with a loaded, bottomless ATM that accesses taxpayer dollars for the foreign freeloaders.
