Donkey flight
Donkey flight is an illegal immigration technique used for unauthorized entry into countries such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia.
Background
The term originates from a Punjabi idiom named dunki meaning "to hop from place to place," where unscrupulous "travel agencies" exploit individuals' aspirations for foreign travel, promising visas in exchange for hefty payments.Many young people divert substantial funds to pay for these journeys. These families become victims of deception as they pay for promised visas.
Operation
The approach is used for immigration to many countries.- Conmen exploit migrants by facilitating illegal border crossings, using methods such as containers and ships. Agents apprehend migrants at borders, leading to deportation.
- Agents provide forged documents, including residency permits and driving licenses. Less affluent migrants are often smuggled into the US, emphasizing the clandestine and perilous nature of the "Donkey Flight" scam.
