Bangladeshis Jailed in Mexico over Attempts to Enter US Illegally
[BenarNews] At least 230 Bangladeshis trying to enter the United States illegally from across the southern border are languishing in Mexican jails after being arrested between January and August, according to a letter from the Bangladesh embassy obtained by BenarNews.

Those seeking get to get to the U.S. end up paying at least 1.5 million taka (U.S. $17,500) at different stages.
Ninety percent of those arrested come from one district in Bangladesh, said the letter from the diplomatic mission in Mexico City asking for advice from the Bangladeshi government. In Dhaka, home ministry officials who received it said they had been working to curb international human smuggling networks.

"You will find some desperate people (Bangladeshis) who resort to illegal means to go abroad at any cost. They always try to go to European countries and America. But, I think, their numbers have come down," Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told BenarNews on Tuesday.
