“One morning in March 2023, Sukhwinder Singh woke up in the Valleywise Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, shocked to see his brother and a friend by his bedside. This meant Singh — a 42-year-old Sikh migrant from Punjab, India — had made it to the United States. But he soon realized that his arrival had come at a terrible price. … As he tried to keep pace with the coyotes and other migrants, he passed out. Within 24 hours, U.S. Border Patrol agents found him near the Yuma crossing and brought him to a local hospital. A week later, he was transported to Phoenix for further treatment, where he remained in a coma for a month and a half. When he finally awoke, he learned that his passage to the land of opportunity had cost him an arm and both legs.” (09/04/24)
