The real journey to his destination began in Ecuador. Jitendra and his group traversed through forests, rivers and on seas. They remained hungry for days on end. And once survived on just biscuits for an entire week. Along the way, thugs robbed them of their money, phones and even their clothes and shoes. They had to trek in the cold and snow barefoot.

MOST CASES FOUNDS IN INDIA LIKE:

Apart from the crossing on the Mexico border, an additional 1,600 Indians crossed from the northern border- four times the amount of the past three years combined. Meanwhile, the total number of migrant encounters increased from 2.38 million in 2022 to 2.48 million this fiscal year, marking a first in history.

Since 2007, the total number of illegal border crossings by Indians in a fiscal year has exceeded 5,000 only four times. However, all the illegal migrants turn themselves into Border Patrol, who then process them as asylum-seekers.

The data from the US Customs and Border Protection also said around 1.49 lakh Indians were caught trying to unlawfully enter the US between February 2019 and March 2023. The highest number of those detained were from Gujarat and Punjab.

Many of these illegal immigrants, mostly from Gujarat, cross the border through Canada, where they have either established themselves or are waiting for an opportunity to cross the border to enter the US.
