Harwinder Singh's harrowing 40-hour return flight from Texas to India reflects the perils faced by migrants. Singh's attempt to reach the US began with a $46,000 payment to an agent promising legal passage. Instead, he endured a treacherous journey through several countries, often under dangerous conditions. After being caught in Mexico and eventually deported with over 100 others, Singh's story highlights the desperation and hazards associated with illegal migration, as well as the emotional toll such experiences can have on individuals seeking a better life.
The arduous journey affected every aspect of my being, leaving me shattered with no hope of a better future.
As I boarded the deportation flight, the reality of my risk hit home—the sacrifices meant nothing when faced with closure.
