LordOfMud Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 India nationals illegally crossing the US-Mexico border in record numbers, pay smugglers up to $25G The tiny town of El Centro, California, where Indian nationals are illegally entering the U.S. every day. "It's a common misconception that we just arrest Mexicans", said El Centro agent Justin Casterhone. The U.S.-Mexican border is divided into nine sectors. The smallest is El Centro, a tiny 70-mile stretch just west of the Arizona-California border. That area has become a conduit for those from India fleeing their country. Agents said they arrest roughly five to 10 Indian nationals a day, with most young men claiming asylum as victims of political or religious persecution. Women, who often belong to a lower class in India's stratified caste system, claim abuse or fear of retribution from families in a higher social class. Quote
