This article is talking about several
men who have been arrested for illegal immigration action. The arrests were
made in the UK on Wednesday and were based on tip-offs from which the agency
has received. This is related to Celia’s story because she was also travelling
in a group when Farm Patrol arrested her. In Celia’s story, the reason why she
wanted to escape so badly was because the way she was living and how she was
treated. She had such a horrible life that she was willing to risk her life and
trust a ‘coyote’ just so she could get a better life. From this article though,
I could make a connection to this issue. In the article it explained that five
of the men were from Afghanistan. From this fact, I could assume that these
five men were having a very hard time in Afghanistan and tried to escape into
the UK so that they could live better. These people probably shared something
similar with Celia; they must have been treated quite poorly and was willing to
do anything to get out of that kind of life, much like Celia. They traveled in
big groups like Celia’s story however the article did not explain that they
might have gotten help from anyone else. In Celia’s story, her group got help
from a ‘coyote’ that said he would help but ended up abandoning them and
leaving the to the farm patrol. The people in this article did not have a guide
like this, it seemed as if they just traveled by themselves without help and
simply got caught because people were telling the police of these people that
probably looked a bit suspicious. Now of course, it ended differently for these
guys in the article than Celia’s story. Her story had a lot more at stake
because the people that got caught turned into eejits while the people in the
article only got arrested. But it still goes to show you how far people are
willing to get to live a better life and I don’t blame them. If I was living in
such I bad living condition, I would probably risk a lot to find a better place
as well.
