What Can't Brown Do For You...?!

The US Border authorities recently stated that hundreds, perhaps thousands of Indians are sneaking into the US via Mexico as of late. The authorities stated that Indians are the largest immigrant group sneaking in from the Southwest border after Latin Americans. What!
Only Indians can find a sneaky, complex but workable way of getting to the other side of the globe undetected. Okay, so the report said 1600 have been caught in the last year, but there are hundreds that made it through before the US officials caught on.
The report further said that these people are crossing the border by working with Mexican gangs and organized criminals. Wow. Indians are movin' on up in their strategy planning. Befriending a gangster while illegally immigrating into the United States?! This is a great plot line for a potential film!
This situation does impose a dilemma of some sorts. The authorities are stating that this spike "belie[s] the assumption [that there is] unprecedented Indian economic boom accompanied by a purported American decline." Darn. India is finally propering, a few Indians (dot, not feather!) get caught at the Mexican border and now the validity of Indian economic prosperity is jeopardized. I'd say that these officials need to read a little and all Indians sneaking in must carry a disclaimer that validates the recent economic growth in India.
Of course, some of the claims made by some Sikh sneakers (lol) that they are escaping persecution from the BJP (Bharatya Janata Party) can be deemed as questionable considering that this sort of thing doesn't actually still happen in India. Not to the scale that you would want to fly to Mexico, team up with some gangs, and then pipeline your way into the US. Good story though, folks.
It does get better though. US officials state that they are certainly more alarmed because they want to ensure that none of the people slipping through are from the troubled regions of Pakistan and the Middle East. I guess being brown does have its disadvantages. Since terrorists are all brown and all come from these 'troubled areas'.
One clear comparison that comes to mind from that logic - just as easy it is to tell the next 'mentally ill patient' who's about to party with his gun, is about how easy it is to know who the next brown terrorist is. The reason majority of Indians go to the US is for economic prosperity. Mixing it up with terrorist driven motives only creates prejudice for all Indians living in the US. But again, what can't brown do for you?
