The high cost of human trafficking: Gujarati man dies, wife and son injured as plan to illegally enter the United States goes wrong
Many people take great personal risk to enter the US illegally in hope of making it big in life. But for some at least, this search for a better life ends in tragedy. A 32-year-old man from Gandhinagar fell to his death while he was trying to scale the wall at the US-Mexico border. His wife and child were also injured. However, while the wife fell inside the US side of the fence, his three-year-old son fell on the Mexican side. In January this year, a Gujarati family of four were found frozen to death in an empty field in Canada amid temperatures of -35 degree celsius, just 12 kilometres from the US border.
