A viral video doing the rounds on social media shows two Indians casually strolling across the US-Mexico border. This clip has sparked heated discussions about people going after the NRI dream through illegal means.
Watch the viral video here:
Real-Life “Dunki”
The video shows a stark difference between those stuck in long lines for H1B visas or green cards, some with wait times stretching over a hundred years, and the seemingly effortless border crossing in the video. The clip, which has gone viral, has a woman asking the two men how they got across. They reply that they just walked in from Mexico! The conversation also reveals people from Pakistan and Bangladesh, highlighting a wider problem of undocumented immigration from South Asia.
This viral video is a real-life example, just like Shah Rukh Khan‘s movie ‘Dunki,’ exposing an illegal way to chase the NRI dream. It also shows loopholes in US immigration systems, unintentionally encouraging illegal immigration and putting legal immigrants at a backseat.
Rising Number of Undocumented Indian Immigrants
Recent data reveals a significant surge in the number of undocumented Indian immigrants in the U.S., making them the third-largest group among undocumented populations. This alarming trend highlights the need for comprehensive immigration reform to address underlying issues driving illegal migration.
Social Media Reaction and Debate
The video was shared on X by ‘@protosphinx’ with the caption – “Visa backlog when you apply in Mumbai: 500 days minimum, Meanwhile at the border: just walk across.” One user questioned, “Who’s telling them life will be good crossing the border? Is it failed states or failed citizens?” Another commented, “This is so sad. The guys likely have no money, can’t speak or understand basic English and most likely have no skills needed to survive in a foreign land and yet they decided to undertake this arduous journey. What are they running away from?”
