Why Indians are risking it all to chase the American Dream
BBC ^ | 11 24 2024 | Soutik Biswas

In October, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) sent a chartered flight carrying Indian nationals back home, marking a growing trend in deportations to India.

This was no ordinary flight - it was one of multiple large-scale “removal flights” carried out this year, each typically carrying more than 100 passengers. The flights were returning groups of Indian migrants who "did not establish a legal basis to remain in the US".

According to US officials, the latest flight carrying adult men and women was routed to Punjab, close to many deportees' places of origin. No precise breakdown of hometowns was provided.

In the US fiscal year 2024 which ended in September, more than 1,000 Indian nationals had been repatriated by charter and commercial flights, according to Royce Bernstein Murray, assistant secretary at the US Department of Homeland Security.

“That has been part of a steady increase in removals from the US of Indian nationals over the past few years, which corresponds with a general increase in encounters that we have seen with Indian nationals in the last few years as well,” Ms Murray told a media briefing. (Encounters refer to instances where non-citizens are stopped by US authorities while attempting to cross the country’s borders with Mexico or Canada.)

Because they wanted to Sikh a new life in a new land.

Build a border wall, and man it. Pass legislation mandating maintenance and staffing of the wall. Once word gets around that the US is serious this time, people in other countries will get the message.

Because India sucks for the average Indian. Too bad that we don’t owe these invaders a damned thing.

The Biden Administration must be afraid they’ll vote Republican.

One thought for any foreigner wanting to come here illegally, why not make a copy of the United States Declaration of Independence and Constitution (including the Bill of Rights) and adapt it to try to make YOUR OWN country better?

I have never been to India, but the pictures don’t make it look appealing.

I would want to leave there, too.

India sucks because it’s full of Indians.

“India sucks because it’s full of Indians.”

True words. These Brahmin Hindu supremacists that come to America think they are better than whites but their homeland is a cesspool of filth and the only thing that lifted it up somewhat was colonization by the British Empire. I once had an Indian try to lecture me and humiliate me when the just-introduce automatic flush toilets that came out would not flush. He literally chased me down a hallway at the MGM convention center in Las Vegas demanding that I flush the toilet. I told him to follow me back into the restroom and the stall and show me how to flush it. When he couldn’t after a few hand-flapping minutes of uselessness I laid into him in front of 20 people. I said “I find it ironic that a guest from a country that shit in the street until the English taught them better would come to America to lecture his betters. My people invented the flush toilet motherf^^^er and if I wasn’t working this convention I would be beating you silly and you would be drinking that water.”

Nevertheless when I was done the whole crowd in the bathroom was stupefied and refused to look me in the eye.

Bingo. Venezuelan prison gangs and Somali brood mares are guaranteed to vote D. Indians tend to be hard working and their kids studious. But they still need to go back and work through the system.

If you think that's what Trump will do, I have bad news for you. He'll "run out of time" chasing the violent and indigent elements.

I am willing to bet most of those Indians flew in on a jet plane and are visa overstays.
