This is a reference to the thousands of migrants that travel in small, dangerous boats from Italy, Serbia, France, and other countries every year, including hundreds of Indians (mainly from Punjab and Haryana), risking their lives to enter Britain over the English Channel.

Indians travel dangerously after being trafficked into these nations via the donkey route, where they pay shady middlemen enormous sums of money in exchange for safe passage.Over the past few decades, as illegal immigrants, including terrorists and gangsters, have been desperate to make a good life in the West by risking everything, including their lives or their freedom, a well-oiled system has developed in which cunning people assist the asylum seeker by taking advantage of loopholes in the rules.
The Indian National Lok Dal, which is based in Haryana, made headlines lately when it told US officials that people posing as party members were forging its letterheads in order to gain political asylum. Politicians in Punjab and Haryana are allegedly collecting exorbitant fees to certify political and religious persecution.Reports from the UK media have shown how certain attorneys are taking advantage of the nation’s immigration laws.

According to a study, solicitors were allegedly offering illegal immigrants assistance to strengthen their asylum petitions in exchange for u00a310,000. They are instructed to tell made-up tales about how they were persecuted in India for being gay, supporting Khalistanis, or being members of a particular caste. The purging of the system won’t have any effect unless the governments of the US, Canada, and the UK amend their asylum policies to include lawful migrants as well as those who come by boat.
