Donkey Flights To US: Shocking Huge Number Of Indians Caught!

Between October 2021 and August 2022, US Customs and Border Patrol arrested 16,290 Indians trying to enter the US through Mexico. Backdoor entry methods include 'donkey flights' (a Punjabi proverb that means "hoping from one area to another"), which is an illegal method of entering a foreign country via multiple countries.

It's a popular technique adopted by thousands every year after they fail to enter a foreign country via legitimate means. The people ' fleeing' India pay anything from $20,000 to $ 75,000 for a door-to-door service that takes them to the US.

There are instances of rape, robbery, and even death, as one has to walk through areas with very high temperatures, like the Arizona desert or the Panama forest. If they make it, once in the US, the asylum seekers have to appear before a judge, and there is no guarantee of remaining in the country. Asylum seekers say they are fleeing restrictions imposed by the Indian government based on caste, creed, gender, religion, and political beliefs.

Rajkumar Hirani is making a film titled 'Dunki' featuring Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan to deal with the growing craze and Indians desperate to enter the US at any cost. In the movie, a Punjabi man enters Canada via a donkey flight.
