India nationals illegally crossing the US-Mexico border in record numbers, pay smugglers up to $25G
Fox News ^ | Aug 10, 2018

The surge of Central Americans crossing into the U.S. claiming asylum is no secret around the world. Just a snapshot of those caught entering on any given day is stunning – Nigeria, Romania, Nepal – in addition to the hundreds of Mexicans, Guatemalans and Hondurans.

But one of the fastest-growing groups of illegal immigrants come not from the barrios of South America or the slums of Africa, but mega-sized cities in India – 8,000 miles away from the tiny town of El Centro, California, where a handful of Indian nationals are illegally entering the U.S. every day, officials say.

"It's a common misconception that we just arrest Mexicans - that couldn't be further from the truth," said El Centro agent Justin Casterhone. "We arrest people from all over the world."

Unable to obtain H1b visas, which are given to highly skilled workers, because of a crackdown on the visas by the Trump administration, and because of a fear that Sikhs are coming under attack by fundamentalist groups in their country, Indians are heading to the U.S. -- illegally -- in droves.

In 2015, agents caught six immigrants from India trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico. So far this fiscal year, the figure is already at more than 3,400.

Just watched 3 minutes of Morning Joe, they said there is no evidence people from Mid East or other countries are crossing the southern border

While most of the debate on illegal immigration focuses on our southern border the reality is that almost half of all illegals don’t enter that way. They come legally, as tourists or students or temporary workers, and then overstay their visa. While I have no doubt some come across the southern border, overstaying visas is the principal way non-Latin Americans are here illegally. And no one, including Donald Trump, seems to be addressing this.

Nearly all the illegals in Boston came hear on VISAs from Ireland. They also vote democrat. The only illegal group that predominately vote Republican are those from Russia and Poland.

Oh c’mon, they just want a better life.

Who are we, the citizens of the United States. to say that EVERYONE in the world doesn’t have the RIGHT to come here?

Yes this is right. china charges the “tourists” $25,000. US for a visa. They come over here in guided tours then disappear. We know of several. They also come in through Canada.

The main difference is the chinese work and do not go on the dole so they aren’t in the limelight.

I do not understand. ‘Dear Leader’ Dustbunny Turd-owe is offering free entry into Kanaduh for all. Why would they pay $25K to sneak into America when Kanaduh offers free health care, accommodation, welfare, etc., at least until their immigration hearing (IF they don’t go to ground and disappear), likely within two years? All it would cost is a one-way flight from their hell-hole to our hell-hole (Tranna).

Not true. Mainland Chinese come from a communist country. They quickly learn how to gain benefits and go on the dole. And they are experts on chain migration.

The industrious Chinese come from Hong Kong, legally.

Obviously people want to come here to rid the world of Trump and the EVIL of capitalism in order to become paradise of Cuba and Venezuela.

With an alien invasion force heading to the border, and soon to posibly reach the size of an Army division with the addition of Mexicans, how is our military going to stop them without using brute Force?
Our Military is trained to break things?
Is there enough concertina wire to do on this.

19 Oct: Sky News UK: ‘The town at the end of the universe’: Desperate migrants willing to risk everything in Tapachula
The Mexican town of Tapachula has become a hub for travelling migrants hoping to be smuggled into the US to start a new life.
By Stuart Ramsay, chief correspondent, in Tapachula
Thousands every year, millions over time, have passed through and even contributed to this strange place. The residents are extraordinarily understanding.
Nobody is judged. They are passing through. They are going to America.
The travellers, who can afford it, meet their cartel gang handlers here. They have paid to be smuggled north through Mexico to the border with the US...
They go legal in Mexico to travel illegally to the US...

This is a business worth millions - if not billions - and the gangs and cartels that facilitate the movement north use the same routes that they developed over years to move drugs...
One of the biggest groups attempting this journey come from Asia. Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis and Afghans meet and eat in some of the now well known curry houses in the downtown district of Tapachula...
Africans hang out in hotels owned by “Papa Africa”. They are from Sudan, Ethiopia, Ghana and the Ivory Coast.
The cartel guides tell me they pay off all the criminal groups to get their cargo north...
I asked who those groups are...
“The federal police, local police, military, immigration, the cartels - the usual ones.”...

18 Oct: Sky News UK: Pay $40k and risk brutal murder: Getting into US illegally
By Stuart Ramsay, chief correspondent, and Tom Acres, news reporter
Sky News has been granted exclusive access to one such operation, which sees cartels use their expertise in transporting illegal drugs across the border to achieve the same results with people...
Traditionally, those seeking to cross the US-Mexico border are from South and Central America, but more and more are coming from as far afield as Pakistan, Afghanistan and even some African nations...

Rats are vehemently denying this. So, it’s poison to them.

Should we DNA test them all to know where to return them?

We should be putting up razor wire-fenced border processing camps right now. Minimal hospitality, basic provisions. Biometric and DNA ID them all. Publish their places of origin.
