Yeah, but you actually need to study and work hard to do that. And at that point, there wouldn't be a reason to immigrate to the US, because education and $100

Yeah, but you actually need to study and work hard to do that.
And at that point, there wouldn't be a reason to immigrate to the US, because education and $100k in assets in India, China, and Vietnam is enough to start a successful business or your political career.
The people who take this route are at best ignorant and at worst idiots (and my family is from one of these villages where people would take the Dunki route abroad)
> The second, serving migrants from India, offers charter flights to Central America and overland transfers to the U.S. border for between 6 million ($72,000) and 8 million rupees ($96,000) per person – in many instances with full payment due after arrival in the U.S, according to Indian court documents and K.T. Kamariya, a deputy superintendent of police in the western Indian state of Gujarat investigating illegal migration.

- alephnerd 2y agoLmao. Didn't watch Dunki (it looked stupid) but it's common sense. The people who would get the most advantages for being undocumented immigrants (the rural poor and working class) cannot afford either any immigration route to the west. The only people who can afford it are the subset of the rural elite (ie. Those with land) who are ignorant.
- 082349872349872 2y ago> it looked stupid In high school, a friend complained that his mother only watched the sort of movie "with two people who love each other passionately but can't marry because they have the wrong colour dots". Unfortunately for my movie-going, soon after I realised that Hollywood follows nearly the same formula, only the star-crossed (yet happy-ended) characters' dots are not on their foreheads, but left implicit. [tbf, Bound (1996) did feature an unusual-for-the-time pair of incompatible dots. Try separating artist from art in that one!]
- alephnerd 2y agoI meant it was a stereotypical pastiche "Punjab" and trivialized the horrors and pains of undocumented immigration. Umrika [0] and Zinda Bhaag [1] were much better movies about undocumented immigration.
