Ten villages located in Banfikot Rural Municipality-3. The wedding program was going on in full swing. On the one hand, there is a line of blessing and blessing the bride and groom. On the other hand, the joy of dancing. There was no lack of enthusiasm of the singers who were singing in Singaru Baka to avoid Nacharu who was shaking his waist.

At this time, the song was heard -

The vulture ate her, the cow died.
This line of the song is enough to understand how much love America has in Rukum West. Because there is hardly any such village in Rukum East and Rukum West, where Tanneris have not entered America illegally after paying millions of rupees. Many brokers of organized human traffickers have paid money in installments and walked to America or crossed the borders of dozens of countries illegally. In every village, you can hear many stories of those who entered the US and stayed in immigration detention, were returned halfway or were deported even after entering the US. 

After Donald Trump was elected as president, after he adopted a strict policy regarding illegal immigrants, its direct effect has been seen in the villages of Rukum East and West. Due to the latest US policy, they are worried that those who traveled or reached the US after spending millions will be deported. 

Jagat Bohra (name changed) of Bamfikot-3 said that out of his 1 son and 2 daughters, the 31-year-old eldest daughter reached America four years ago and after almost a year of efforts, the 18-year-old son reached America a month ago . He said that the 25-year-old youngest daughter also arrived in America 5 months ago and was imprisoned after 9 months of trying. "When the eldest daughter went to America and started earning, the rest of the children also decided to go there and everything is happening, I sent them to tell them not to go," he said. Everywhere they say that America will return it, if that happens, we will either die or live.'

He says that in the beginning, he spent 31 lakh rupees to send his eldest daughter and last time he paid 75/75 lakh rupees to brokers to send two children. He also told that before this, a broker took 50 lakh rupees saying that he would send his son to America, but after taking the money, he lost contact. Now I have a loan of about 2 crores in Thaplo. I'm crazy. Even after hearing that America will return, Hos is not in the address,' he said in his own tone.  Even though some amount was arranged by the eldest daughter, it was also a loan and the interest of 20 million has increased to 30 million. "Even if the children come to America and start earning, it seems that it will take ten years to pay these crores," he says very disappointed. We have sunk badly in America. Neither child with, nor money in hand .'

This is a representative story of the world. The amount may be big or small, but many people who are in America have the same pain. 

Sur Bahadur Oli (name changed) of Bamfikot-3 says that he sent his 20-year-old daughter to America after paying 75 lakh rupees to a broker. He lamented that his daughter left home about 13 months ago and has been stranded in Mexico for three months.

'Sent to America with a loan at 2 to 3 percent interest . Today, years have passed, but the daughter has not reached America," he said. But we hear that America has made it very difficult to enter. It's ruined.'

Oli says that there was a short conversation a week ago with someone else's phone because the broker took away the phone of his daughter. The broker took all the money but did not proceed because there is an election in America. Now they are strict over there (America), I am afraid that they will be sent back from there (Mexico),' he expressed his disappointment in a fearful expression, 'I have suffered myself because of the greed of neighbors.' They take it from Nepal to India or Dubai and from there through agents through Russia, Spain, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia to Panama.  Oli said that he had previously paid 500,000 to another broker saying that he would send his daughter to America, but he could not send his daughter to America. "I paid 500,000,000 to send plane to plane to America, but the matter of sending it to America, that money was lost," he says, "He contacted the broker through his own person. I am in a situation of what to do, what to do after the broker is out of contact.' 

Dalveer Khatri (name changed) from Rukum East Sisne-3 Pokhara is also suffering. He said that his son, who left home to go to America, reached America after two and a half years and was imprisoned there. About 80 lakh rupees have been spent so far. A month ago, there was news that he was imprisoned in Texas," he says about his son. "Now, there was hope that he would get out of prison and get a job, people started asking if he would return. Creditors come to ask for money, they don't have money. There is only fear of what will happen now.'

The 24-year-old youngest daughter of Ramita Khadka (name changed) of Pokhara has reached Mexico 15 days ago. She said that after the broker took 30 lakh rupees at first, she made a last attempt by paying 70 lakh rupees through another broker. Even though the debt of crores is about to double, the US dream has not been fulfilled and the fear of returning again has pressed him.  Those who send their children and relatives to America do not want to talk openly because of the latest government order there. Gariha also does not reveal his identity . Their focus is how to fulfill the goal of the offspring (to start earning in America) and to collect the trapped money . 

Deputy Head of District Coordination Committee Dipendra Vick says that they do not have any data about how many people have come to America from the west and what is their condition. 

Banfikot Rural Municipality Chairman Janak Kumar Bantha Magar also said that some young people from most of the houses in the municipality have reached America, are on their way or have returned. But he says that they do not have the single data of this. There is a lot of attraction to America here. 3-4 people have also gone from the same house . So many people have gone and there is no situation to say that this is the situation.

There is no plan with the local government to do if their citizens in America return. They have started to say 'this is not a matter of our control'. 

On the other hand, Krishna Regmi, president of Sisne Rural Municipality of Rukum East, estimated that 600 people from his municipality alone are in America and 200 people are on their way. The federal government should think about their safety first. We can't talk directly with the US,' what to do if those citizens are returned ? In response to the question, he adds, "We can provide general skill training and salaried work". But those who dreamed of crores and who have tens of millions of debts will not be able to pay for the small work.' 

According to the latest policy of the US, Rukum is also among those returned. But it is not clear who they are.  Even before this, the number of people being returned from America for various reasons is also large. Now this number is expected to increase. Because most of those who went to America illegally are working secretly in America.  

The parents who sent their children to America are in the process of returning them. Those in the US also say that they are going to work in terror. It's been 6 months since I came here. The Trump government is afraid of returning us with an illegal contract. That's why after the new government came, we stayed hidden for a few days,' he said, 'slowly we have started to go to work, but the fear is so great that the whole heart is heavy . Paying that debt. Earning will fulfill the dream of the family. If you have to go back, everything will be ruined .'
