Fleeing Indians entering US from Mexico_我的网站

A |     8月26日讯 篮网球员小迈克尔·波特近日在个人播客节目《Curious Mike》中，谈到了伤病对自己的影响。小波特表示：“因为我的加盟，高中时我们学校比赛的上座率都飙升了。    Washington, Oct 10 (UNI) More and more Indians are entering the United States from the Mexican border.

Since the beginning of the 2022 fiscal year that started last October, a record 16,290 Indian citizens have been taken into US custody at the Mexican border. The previous high of 8,997 was recorded in 2018, BBC reported.

Experts point to a number of reasons for the increase, including a climate of discrimination in India, an end to pandemic-era restrictions, a perception that the current US administration is welcoming to asylum seekers and the ramping-up of previously established smuggling networks.

While some migrants are coming to the US for economic reasons, many are fleeing persecution back home, said Deepak Ahluwalia, an immigration lawyer who has represented Indian nationals in Texas and California.

The latter group range from Muslims, Christians and "low-caste" Hindus to members of India's LGBT community who fear violence at the hands of extreme Hindu nationalists or supporters of the secessionist movement and farmers from the Punjab region, the BBC reported.

Conditions for many of these groups have deteriorated in recent years, international observers say.

Immigrants often see the US as "the ultimate gateway" to a better life, said Ahluwalia, the lawyer.

The enormous distances involved, however, make the trip to the US extremely challenging.

Traditionally, Indian migrants who arrive at the US-Mexican border use "door-to-door" smuggling services, with journeys arranged from India to South America.

They are often guided the entire way and travel in small groups with their fellow countrymen who speak the same language, rather than individually or with only family members.

These networks often begin with India-based "travel agents" which outsource parts of the journey to partner criminal groups in Latin America.

Jessica Bolter, an analyst at the Washington DC-based Migration Policy Institute, said that the number of Indian migrants is also rising as a result of a "ripple effect" that takes place when those who have used these services successfully recommend them to friends or family back in India.

"It naturally expands and draws more migrants," she said. "Of course, that doesn't happen without migrants wanting to leave originally."

Manpreet, a 20-year-old from Punjab who asked that only his first name be used, a vocal critic of India's ruling BJP, fled the country after being persecuted for his political beliefs, the BBC reported.

"From Ecuador I took a bus to Colombia, and from Colombia I took a bus to Panama," Manpreet recalled in an interview with the BBC from California. "From there, via a boat, I (went to) Nicaragua and Guatemala, and then Mexico and entered the US."

Even guided by seasoned smugglers, the trip to the border is often one that is fraught with dangers, including robberies and extortion at the hands of local gangs or corrupt authorities or extreme weather, injuries and illness.

These dangers were highlighted in 2019 when a six-year-old Indian girl from Punjab was found dead in the scorching desert near the border town of Lukeville, Arizona.

It was later reported that she died in temperatures of over 42 C (108 F) after her mother left her with a group of other Indians to go search for water.

UNI MR。高三那年，我双脚起跳尝试隔扣对手，第二天醒来背部就酸痛无比。从那以后，我的身体开始出现代偿反应，发力机制彻底乱了套。这种隐患在我进入密苏里大学后彻底爆发。NCAA首秀，当时我的腿非常无力，甚至出现了神经放射痛。热身时，我试图用左腿起跳，却发现根本跳不起来。我低头一看，左腿肌肉已经萎缩，比右腿细了一圈，而且还在不受控制地抽动。因为比赛是全国直播，教练让我带伤首发。我靠着单腿发力投进了一个球，随后立刻被换下。赛后，经纪人建议我立即接受手术。这次手术不仅让我的大学赛季提前报销，也让我的选秀前景蒙上了阴影。”“我父亲曾告诉我‘迈克尔，你能成为史上最棒的球员’。我身高2.08米，能投善跳。看着KD，我觉得我在进攻端能做得和他一样好，而且运动能力更强。我曾真心认为自己能成为联盟最佳，自己就像KD和字母哥的结合体。但当伤病接踵而至，我很难再看到事物光明的一面。所以，看到别人能坦然接受现实并快乐生活，我觉得很棒。

B | 我曾经真的没有过‘B计划’，比如转型做播客和媒体等等，之前从未这样打算过。现在大家觉得我的性格适合做这个，那就顺水推舟吧。”小波特表示。
