BRAC migration programme head Shariful Islam said that deportation proved that there was no safe place for the undocumented migrant workers.
Though the migrants tried to migrate spending up to Tk 35 lakh for the United States, they were detained and sent back home, he said.
He requested the aspirants to give up wrong attempt for migrating through irregular channels.
He said that all countries in America and Europe continued to deport undocumented migrants.
In January, several hundred Bangladeshi migrants were detained on the cross-border areas of the United States and Mexico as they attempted to enter the United States illegally.
