At least now people think that illegal way is not a way to go. This news should be heard by everyone.
I agree. These stories of these brave and wonderful people should be heard everywhere.
There are 1.5 billion people in India. Not even 1.5 million jobs. Indians and Pakistanis are the same. They will lie and cheat their way thru even God's house.
They have 15 lakhs for leaving india but not for education or starting their own small business in India??. What kind of society india has become. 18k illegal immigrants are going to come back. God knows what they will do in India

I am grateful for these wonderful people in this video for coming out bravely and telling the reality that how difficult it is to go via Dunkey route. These people are real heroes for surviving such very harsh conditions. Shame on Bollywood for not showing the reality and glorifying the hero and the the whole Dunki route in the movie Dunki.
@ bluesky - are you kidding me? If they have so much money to act such bold or rather stupid acts, they can make an effort to educate themselves.
Bollywood is always in imaginary world

Glorified dunky route? Are you mentally incapable to understand that just because it's done by big actors, doesn't mean it's glorified in any sense??

More than 100% of this village has moved abroad? WHAT THE FOOK.
If they spend 15 lakhs each on illegally going to US via donkey route, they can very well set up a small business in that money, like fruit/ vegetable/milk vending, food stallsh etc. in India and live a peaceful life with their family. Majority Indians are doing that! But these people seem to go to US for earning fast money, out of greed. Why blame Government for it!
People just wanna a govt who will spoon fed them.
Business is more risky in India
If go abroad life is settled
Pokada bech sakte hai.. Gas nale sai nikalke😂😂😂
Pls stop being so naive. Last man has explained it for your simple minds. If a farmer has 4 sons each end up with 3 acres. Not rocket science that GOI and its citizens have allowed baby production to grow exponentially resulting in 1.5bln led to dire poverty despair and joblessness. "Majority" is not a phrase you should defend as 1.5bln the smallest number would fill 6 or 7 villages in the US.

Do you like to have regular flow of illegal immigrants in your own country?
@@vinodkaka5225 amarican don't need Visa anywhere why Indian need one

15 lakhs is not a meagre amount. India is not a war torn country like the other migrants who go to US illegally. Shame on these people.
Thank you for a rational comment. IOM recorded Indians as 3rd largest in Migration World Index no wars but POVERTY. 1st for Remittances and 1.5bln overtaken China. Smugglers have been thriving on this blood money for 40+ years but on a smaller scale. GOI fully aware after world media highlighted family from Gujarat froze in Canada.
India is not a war-torn country, but its still one gargantuan mess of a country with its broken infrastructure, filthy streets and people who lack common sense and civic sense. And then there is slowing economy and lack of well paying jobs. Nobody has a clue how to even start fixing these or start from where. Even the govt is shooting in the dark.
@@agnescraig2912 I am still wondering why they would undergo such hardship and spend so much money just to work as busboys over there ? Life is not easy even for natives there. It's an expensive country.

Not for $$. It’s a matter of pride for some communities to live in US. How do you live there do not matter. They work like a dog. You can have a better life in India if you put same effort in India.
No, they are leaving your mom's bedroom....
1947 Independance struggle has turned into today's dependence struggle
For 15 Lakhs you could start a small shop & live happily here, rather than suffering in other country.
If anyone thinks of going to the US to stay in concrete jungles and call it a better life , then I really feel pity and sorry for them !
Shortcuts are always expensive and are not worth it. I studied in India then took work experience here, and then taken legal route to go abroad. Now I am a New Zealand Citizen with NZ Passport. I then too OCI Card for India. Anytime until my death I can go to NZ or Aussi with my head held high, or I can travel visa free to over 170 countries now. Always take legal route. Patience and hard work always pays!

The main problem in India is population. I don't know how they have reached this highly populated state. Could be due to out fashioned cultural beliefs. Too much population leads to disaster of a nation. If India had less population then she can easily be like an advanced nation like Germany or France.
No government in India is determined to implement strict population control bill.
Yes, the main problem is population. Second problem is corruption. No shame for these corrupt people and they are ready to sell the nation for their greed. Third is politicians who do not have any morals, ethics and keep supporting their own people. Fourth is judiciary - cases languish in court for decades and lawyers are interesting in making money at the cost their clients. Always adjournments and the systems also encourages them. Nature has given best environment for India but the people are abusing it.
@@bluesky2760 No government has ever bothered to implement strict population control policies in India. The younger generation will pay a severe price for jobs coupled with high cost of living in little over a decade or two from now.
Vote bank politics. Nobody was interested to control the population. It has grown out of proportion now. India has to grow multifold industrially and financially to handle this much population.
Poor people have the most kids 😂😂
Good for them. You better improve your own country instead of such shortcuts.
problem is that the country you want them to improve is forked up beyond all scope for repair
Vishwaguru Gujjus 😅
Legal Indian immigrants are difficult enough to begin with...i can't imagine the illegal ones...
Should be sent to jail.🏛
Ask youngsters - almost all wants to escape to western countries. Time to introspect.
This people are the reason india passport ranking going down and other countries applying strick visa rules for indians
thats absolute nonsense! without strict visarules half of india would be abroad. thats the reason. what a vishwaguruji! where millions of people prefer illegal existence abroad to legal life at home. shame on vishwaguruji!
These deportees from USA and Europe return with a vast amount of experiences and new knowledge. We must find ways to allow for beneficial use og their expertise.
Agreed
Yes, experience of cleaning plates and lifting luggages 😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 experience like? They are not H1 visa wala immigrants..what you can learn is how to be greedy and find short cut method (illegal & risky )...not just politicians..it is all of our duty to make better our country.
😂😂
At 6:00, the person has told the root cause for the situation which no one talks about or wants to talk about as there is no solution.
Meanwhile instead of being ashamed of this situation & his failed promise of 2 crore per year jobs, M8di was making frivolous comments on Nehruji in Parliament.
one feels sorry for the families of these people who spent lakhs of rupees to send them via the "dunki" route. That huge money now lies wasted.

Though you may have a H1B visa.

Spent 15 lakh rupees to clean dishes in those countries ? Why man ?
what a strange question. their life in india would have been (and now again is) much worse.

Have seen many such "donkeys" very apt name !! when i went to Slovakia, Austria, Hungary last December most of then working as food delivery boys..cycling in -3C and below wondering is it really worth it ?
Actually it is the fact is they make more even in that condition should make India reflect on how much it has let down it's people
I know of many Indians working in menial jobs in Singapore earning around ₹30k pm. This money they send home. On the weekends and when opportunity provides they freelance and earn their personal keep. There is incredible job opportunities outside India. That is why the dunki route is thriving.
@@rhk199 Yes as the guy who claimed high rates of unemployment by dividing land between 4 sons analysed. GOI past and present know that the more uncontrolled population growth leads to dire Poverty = unemployment = social degradation. Not rocket science but Modi/BJP going on about "Hindu khatre mai hai" or "Jo jyada bachhe pyda karte hoi" when 80% of 1.5bln are Hindus which is larger than population of US
These people wasted lakh of rupees for nothing. At least they could have invested that money on some business in India.
What business? Investing in businesses in India is a big risk due to rampant corruption.
@vineethg6259 but is much more viable then wasting money to go to a foreign nation illegally and end up deported back.
Vishwaguru policy.. waah!
People simply ask jobs and blame the government. But how educated and qualified are they to get jobs?

Invest where?
By the way, its "donkey", not dunki. The Panama jungle is known as unforgiving "Darien Gap or Darien Pass". Hundreds die while crossing this jungle.
It's the accented pronunciation of donkey.
Surprised to see this happening in Karnal.
Population control.
Thank you. But Modi/Yogi with Hindu Khatre mei hai and Jo log jyada bachee pyda karte hai. When 80% are Hindus. The guy explained the case with the 4 son analogy each ending up with 3 acres.
The reason is pretty clear 1$ = 88₹. But what's about the 1500k spending on a failed illegal immigration? Do they get any money back? I don't think so 😏🤔
It is the current exchange rates...these types of people were there all the time...also it depends on your neighborhood...not everyone part of India do these illegal risky things...the locality where some people already gotten success... their story influences other...who does not want short cut? Nobody wants to do build their country...but USA build their country...
It's not for better life, it's a greed
Unfortunately despite India considering itself a growing economy which it surely is , the state of poverty /illiteracy/corruption /heirachial system remain to be the same . I don't see this changing in the next 100 years 😕

So this is why Trump is doing what he is doing. Very clear. Imagine from all the countries, people might be traveling like this to US.
I LIKE THIS PEOPLE THEY DO NOT MAKE PROBLEM FOR THE COUNTRIE MUST KEEP THEM AND MAKE THEM GOOD FARMER THEY NEED JOB WE NEED GOOD FARMES MAKE A DEAL
People (read rabid right wing) will never have the empathy to understand why there is such a desperation for these people. Prospects back home are getting bleaker by the day, the veneer of propaganda fading out, reality hitting home, pushing people into worse levels of desperation. Most of the commenters here asking for punishing these people first need to be in the situation that many of these people are in. Then, ambitions are artificially created by another kind of propagansa, a hegemonic process, that defines only one kind of 'good life'. Since most of the commenters have very little education (just like Trump), they fail miserably to understand what are root causes of such desperation - social, cultural, economic. Since education nowadays is a cuss word anyway, some will only learn to spew hate, not to empathize or be kind.
Totally agree and am not prepared for so much BS. Am Indian living in UK since 70s and have experienced living in a slum one room with five ppl no clean tap water apart from 2 hours between 5am at one communal water jet. Have had a life of a footballers' wife BUT never forget my past and will defend desperate people who are ignored by their Govts. to line their pockets instead of being responsible/accountable to its citizens.
I hope that at some point the facade of grand delusions will collapse and Modi and his bhakts will have to face the music. You cannot feed hungry stomachs with propaganda and hate.
Why they wasted 15 lakhs.
dunki movie released on wrong time this should be right time to release it lol
Why spend Rs 15L to reach only to Mexico Wall illegally after so much hardship of crossing Panama jungles and other countries and then get deported? Can't you spend the same fund to start your own business? Slow and steady wins the race. Why so much rush?
We dont Have free will
Abhi aayega Ladla Bhai Yojna.
Mex, chine people told that they got charged around 30 lakhs. One guj fam piad 1 cr and went and died in cold before crossing and there is a documentary.. now Ind must bring industries other than relying on offshore jobs.
Incredible India ....
Only 250 as 2.5 lakhs are over due lol ??
why not showing GUJRATI Illigal Immigrants. They outnumber all other states showing Gujrat Model

These are the stupidest people, because from being well off, rich, and legal - they are trying to be illegal, stateless, and if get caught deported. All for American dream ( Home, car, good living conditions, and good income, which these have already in their country)
Pls get Real with such comments. Engage your brain and do not make sweeping comments. Left India in the 70's due to Poverty and my late mother in the 60s when Indian population was NOT 1.5bln. Even today 80% of Indians live in dire poverty surviving on rations. Humility never in Indian DNA
I WANT TO GO
SHAME ON INDIAN GOVERNMENT because our country internal security is weak.
what internal security? it's the headache of the host country to vet people at their borders. Will India or US for that matter check where each and every person leaving their country if they are indeed getting down at the same destination? It's practically impossible.
Make india a better place..perhaps people wont go to other lands.Its not easy living away from own families.
