6 countries, 12 months, Rs 26 lakh spent: Journey of an illegal migrant

辗转6国历时12个月，花费260万卢比：一个非法移民的旅程

HIGHLIGHTS

Manpreet, who is from a farming family in Punjab, decided to go abroad just because his relatives were there

Not to be left behind, his family took loans, found an agent, and arranged Rs 26 lakh to fund his trip

But problems arose when agents tried to smuggle him into the US

曼普雷特来自旁遮普的一个农业家庭，决定出国仅仅是因为他的亲戚们已经出国了。

为了不落伍，他和家人申请了贷款，找好中介，并安排好了260万卢比的路费。

但当中介试图将他偷渡到美国时，问题就来了。

A man goes to the moon, believing he’s making history. When he lands, he finds that two Punjabis have beaten him to it. “How did you get here,” the flummoxed lunar explorer asks. “Ohji, what do we know, an agent dropped us here,” one of them says.

This is an old joke but it reflects the very real Punjabi desire to find a way — any way, no matter how expensive, circuitous or dangerous — to the west. Manpreet Singh, 30, is aware of what it takes to risk everything to make it to the US and the reports from El Paso — in the news for a tent holding children separated from their parents under US President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance migration policy bring back horrific memories of the time he spent in a detention centre there.

一个登上月球的人，以为自己马上就要创造历史了。但当他着陆时，发现有两个旁遮普人已经抢先一步了。这个困惑的“探月者”问到：“你们是怎么到这儿来的?” “我们也不知道，一个中介把我们丢在这里，”其中一个回答说。

这是一个古老的笑话，但它反映了旁遮普人真实渴望找到一条通往西方的道路——无论花费多少、不管这条路有多么曲折或危险。30岁的曼普雷特.辛格清楚不惜一切去到美国需要承担的风险。厄尔巴索传出的新闻报道，在美国总统特朗普的“零容忍移民政策”下，儿童被安置在帐篷内被迫与父母分开，这让曼普雷特回想起在拘留中心度过的那段可怕时光。

Manpreet, who is from a farming family in a village in Hoshiarpur district, decided to go abroad just because his relatives were there, and he wanted to return with money to flash. Not to be left behind, his family took loans, found an agent, and arranged Rs 26 lakh to fund his trip.

曼普雷特来自霍西亚普区的一个农村家庭，他决定出国仅仅是因为他的亲戚们都出国了，他也想出国然后带着钱回来炫耀一下。为了不落伍，他和家人申请了贷款，找好中介，并安排好了260万卢比的路费。

In the summer of 2014, Manpreet flew from Dubai to Russia before being taken to Ecuador. “There was some problem in their plan to smuggle us further and they made us stay there for two months. The wait was unbearable,” he says. But the uncertainty of waiting was something he’d have to get used to over the next few months. From Ecuador, the group, which included 30 people from Punjab, was flown to Guatemala where they spent nights in a forest.

2014年夏天，曼普雷特从迪拜飞往俄罗斯，然后被带到厄瓜多尔。“把我们偷渡到下个地方的计划出了点麻烦，他们就让我们在厄瓜多尔待了两个月。等待是种煎熬”他说道。但在接下来的几个月里，他不得不习惯这种不确定的等待。来自旁遮普的30个人组成的小团队又从厄瓜多尔飞往了危地马拉，在那里他们在森林里过了几夜。

Some of the travel to Mexico was done in vehicles, but for the last two hours, the group went on foot to avoid border patrols and enter Mexico, the last stop before the crossing into the US.

前往墨西哥的部分行程他们是坐汽车，但在最后两个小时，为了避开边境巡逻，他们步行进入了墨西哥。这是进入美国之前的最后一站。

 

In Mexico, the group split up and Manpreet ended up in the home of a local policeman, which was a safe house for illegal immigrants. “The house was locked from the outside so that neighbours and authorities wouldn’t know that there were occupants,” he says. People from different countries but with the same dream wound up at the safe house, sometimes for a night, often for longer.

在墨西哥，这个团队便分道扬镳了。曼普雷特最后住进了当地一名警察的家中，对非法移民来说是个安全的住所。他说:“房子从外面锁上了，这样邻居和当局就不会知道里面有人住。”来自不同国家、但有着相同梦想的人紧张兴奋地待在这个安全的屋子里，有时住一晚，但通常住得更长。

For a month and a half, Manpreet did not see daylight or draw a fresh breath as going outdoors was out of the question. There were no beds, and they slept 10 to a room. Food and other essentials were brought twice a day. A vegetarian, Manpreet was forced to start eating eggs when he could not get vegetables. Through it all, his hope never flagged.

One morning it was time. "We were taken separately to cross the border to Texas," he says. But police pulled him aside. "I had no documents. I was questioned, then body-searched," he says. As he was bundled in to a detention centre, Manpreet could feel the heaviness of a dream lost. Nine months later, in July 2015, he was deported to India.

在一个半月的时间里，曼普雷特没有见到过光，也没有呼吸新鲜空气，因为想出门是不可能的。房间里没有床，10个人住一间。食物和其他必需品，一天送两次。作为一个素食主义者，曼普雷特在没蔬菜吃的时候被迫开始吃鸡蛋。尽管如此，他依然抱着希望。

一天早上，终于到时候了。他说：“我们被单独带到德克萨斯州边境。但是警察把他拉到一边。”“因为没有文件，我被询问，然后又被搜身。当被关进拘留所时，曼普雷特感受到失去梦想的沉重感。9个月后，在2015年7月，他被驱逐出境，回到了印度。

Manpreet has no plans to try again, but his travails did not deter his elder brother from using the same agent and a similar route a year later. He is now in the US living the American dream.

Deport

曼普雷特没有再次尝试的计划，但他的痛苦经历并没有阻止他哥哥在一年后通过同一家中介和类似的路线去到美国。他哥哥现在在美国过着“美国梦”式的生活。

Being a dual American / Israeli who now lives in Israel (born in America), I find it so interesting to think that you Indians would be so keen to move out of India. Being a proud Jew and Israeli, I could never think of moving back to the U.S. The pride I feel in being a Jew in Israel is something I can never feel in being a Jew in America. In addition, I wanted to use my skills to make Israel a better place to live. What I see in you Indians is a trend to make other countries better, abandoning India in the process. Don''t get me wrong, I do understand the challenges of living in India, but y''all Indians can overcome the same and work hard to make India like the U.S., can y''all not? Just wondering.

作为一个生活在以色列(出生在美国)具有美国和以色列双重国籍的人，我觉得很有趣的是，你们印度人会如此渴望离开印度。作为一个自豪的犹太人和以色列人，我从来没有想过要回到美国。我能感受作为一个犹太人住在以色列的那种自豪，但在美国却永远感受不到。另外，我想用我的一技之长让以色列成为一个更好的地方。我在你们印度人身上看到的是一种想让其他国家变得更好的倾向，在这个过程中你们抛弃了印度。别误解我的意思，我确实理解在印度生活的难处，但是你们所有印度人可以一起克服这些困难、努力让印度成为美国一样的国家,难道你们做不到?

They had 52 lakhs and yet desperate to migrate? So it is not of poverty or the system but their own personal ego. What a shame

Who would not want to leave trash and poverty and shift to heaven where there is no dust and no pollution. Try an experiment. Give control of canada to the italian bar dancer and her charsi son (who only skills are to inhale charas and visit prostitutes in bangkok). Then within few years canada will become a living hell and canadians will start moving to bharat illegally.

谁不想摆脱垃圾和贫穷，走向没有灰尘和污染的天堂。做个实验，让索尼娅甘地和她儿子拉胡尔去统治加拿大(拉胡尔的唯一特长就是吸大麻和去曼谷嫖妓)。几年后，加拿大将变成人间地狱，加拿大人将开始非法移民到印度。

He told me, he is being deported back to India, he said the same story of loan and brought by an agent till Switzerland on a false visa ! In plane, i set next to him to console, he said, he is from Jalandhar and had no money to take even a bus or train back home from Delhi ! I gave him a thousand Rupees so he can reach home ! This is the daily story of specially youth of Punjab getting in trap of loan and then being deported back to India!

我住在瑞士，有次坐飞机回印度时，看到一个锡克教男孩在候机室哭泣!他告诉我，他正要被遣返回印度，他同样也是贷了款，通过一个中介拿着假签证到瑞士!在飞机上，我坐在他旁边安慰他。他说，他来自贾朗达尔市，甚至都没钱从德里坐公共汽车或火车回家!我给了他一千卢比，让他可以回家!在旁遮普这是很平常的事，特别是旁遮普年轻人陷入贷款陷阱，然后被驱逐回印度!

You will be surprised that most of the time these migrants are actually quite well off. They sell off their house and businesses and leave their peaceful towns with feelings of insecurity and hopelessness. And so eager to leave it all and join their sister and settled brothers in law. They leave all their loved ones behind and go for obscure lives never to return. Perhaps too embarrassed to return home and face all those they left behind. Unless they were rich Congress politicians who get to enjoy expensive lifestyle with their corruption money stashed in shell accounts.

你会惊讶，这些移民其实大多都很富有，他们卖掉了自己的房子和生意，带着不安和绝望的感觉离开了自己宁静的城镇，迫不及待地要离开这一切，去投靠他们已经在那定居的姐姐姐夫。他们把自己所爱的人抛诸脑后，追求默默无闻的生活，而且永远不再回头。也许因为太过尴尬而不能回来面对那些被他们抛弃的人。除非他们是富有的国大党政客，才能拿着贪污腐败的钱，享受昂贵的生活方式。

People ready to spent 52L to just adventure...and still our system calls them poor farmer...yes...lots of subsidies are still their in Punjab as well...people who have money and can do something here in India are actually desperate to leave country.....then what can you expect from people who are busy in earning two times meals? They can''t change India....i really geel pitty on such mentality !!

花520万卢比去冒险移民……我们这制度下还称他们是可怜的农民…在旁遮普他们还能拿到很多补贴……在印度，有钱又能做出点什么事的人实际上是非常渴望离开这个国家的……对于那些忙于糊口的人，你能指望他们什么呢?他们是无法改变印度的....真心同情这种心态!!

All OECD wealthy countries should send back all refugees, invade and restore order under UN administration, so that people smuggling and refugee seeking asylum dont gives excuses on the pretext of poverty and persecution. India should send back all the Rohingyas back to Myanmar as they have agreed to back their citizens.

所有经合组织的富裕国家都应该遣返所有难民，在联合国的管理下恢复秩序，这样偷渡客和寻求庇护的难民就不能以贫穷和迫害为借口寻求庇护。印度应该把所有罗兴亚人送回缅甸，因为他们已经同意支持本国公民。

Indians are hopeless and want to exit India and reach any other nation. India''s votebank politics means Dalits and Muslims get all benefits while rest have to fight like animals to survive.

In coming days, more Dalots and Muslims produce 6 kids per person and will take India to 3 billion population by 2050. It will be so dangerous a place, that even airports will look like fish market.

印度人绝望了，想要离开印度，去其他任何国家。印度的选票银行政治意味着达利特和穆斯林都能得到好处，而其他人则必须像动物一样战斗才能生存。

在未来的日子里，更多的达洛人和穆斯林的人均生育将达到6个孩子，这样到2050印度人口将达到30亿。印度将变成一个非常危险的地方，连机场看起来都像鱼市。
