Under President Donald Trump’s renewed crackdown on illegal immigration, thousands of illegal migrants are facing deportation from the United States.
Among them are dozens of Indian men who had risked everything, including their money, safety, and dreams, to reach what they believed was the land of opportunity.

Harjinder Singh, a farmer, had spent 3.5 million rupees to go to the US four years ago. Once there, he worked as a cook, determined to support his children back home.
“My hopes have been dashed, it is a pity that I could not do anything,” said Singh to BBC, adding he cannot forget the humiliation he was put through during the deportation process.
With all his savings gone, Singh now finds himself back in Haryana, struggling to imagine what comes next and deeply worried about his children’s future.
Naresh Kumar’s dream of a better life came at an even higher price. He sold land and paid 5.7 million rupees to agents who promised him a safe passage to the US.
He began his journey in January 2024, flying first to Brazil before trekking northwards toward the American border. “My relatives kept giving me money from time to time while I was on the way,” Kumar said to BBC.
But his hopes collapsed soon after arriving. Arrested for illegal entry, he spent over a year behind bars before being deported. “I spent 14 months in jail, and then they sent me to India,” he explained to BBC. Now back home, Kumar faces mounting debts and the burden of crushed expectations.

Illegal? Bye.
Tough sh**. It’s the same as a burglar getting caught and crying about where his money is coming from next. He broke our law and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him? No way. F him

Wow, it is so bad 3rd worlders think they have the right to migrate and work here. Like the USA isn’t a country but an economic zone.

I hate to tell you this, but you have to make better choices next time you have a harebrained idea.
And now you’ve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away

Good, and be sure to tell everyone you meet. Thanks to the BBC for spreading the word also.

5.7 Millio Rupees = 64,000 USD
I see a new business opportunity. I will charge 25% + airfare and fly them around for 12 hours and then land back in India.
$16,000 x 250 fares = $4,000,000
How many of them work for cash under the table and send it back through Western Union without paying ANY taxes on that money???!!!!
They use our roads, our medical facilities, get free housing and food and STEAL from us in every way they can.
Well played.
Feel good story of the day
They should not have listened to Biden and msnbc, they should have consulted the law regarding legal entry.
