’Paid ₹1 crore to reach US, sold lands’: Deported Indians’ price of a failed American dream

Live Mint  

Several deported Indians who reruned to India in a US military plane have expressed feelings of betrayal by the agents they paid to help them illegally enter the country. A senior official told Times of India that many deported migrants felt betrayed by the individuals who they had paid to help them reach the U.S. In another incident, the official told TOI that an uncle from a village in Amritsar shared that his family sold 1.5 acres of land and spent over ₹42 lakh to send his nephew abroad, who reached the U.S. via Mexico just a few months ago. According to the report, the senior police officer indicated that authorities would investigate who assisted the deportees in reaching the U.S. and the amounts paid to these illegal immigration agents.
