As per inputs from agencies, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his recent visit to the United States, met President Donald Trump, where he stated that the ones living illegally in any other country, “do not have any legal right to be there.”
He further said his country was ready to take back its citizens living in America illegally. While condemning illegal immigration, Modi said it is a symptom of a bigger disease.
He said, “As far as India and the US are concerned, we have always said that those who are verified and are truly the citizens of India—if they live in the US illegally, India is ready to take them back.”
The Flight Lands at Delhi
Meanwhile, now United States has recently deported fourth batch of a small number of illegal Indian immigrants, in comparison to previously sent three other groups, via Panama. This time aircraft landed in Delhi instead of Punjab.
This latest batch of deportees came aboard a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul. The group consisted of four individuals from Punjab, three from Haryana, three from Uttar Pradesh, and one person whose identity has yet to be confirmed.
A flight carrying Indian nationals, who were deported from the US to Panama, landed at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Sunday. This group is the first to be repatriated from Panama, following the US deportation of approximately 299 illegal immigrants.
The four deportees, hailing from different districts of Punjab, were then flown to Amritsar.
Due to challenges in deporting individuals directly to their countries of origin, the US is utilizing Panama as a transit point. This means that migrants are being flown to Panama before being sent on to their final destinations.
Last week, a US military aircraft, with 119 Indian immigrants aboard, landed in Amritsar on February 15. One of the deportees had claimed that they were handcuffed, and their legs were chained during the flight. “Our legs were chained and hands were also cuffed,” one Daljit Singh told reporters in Hoshiarpur.
Prior to this, A C-17 aircraft had landed at Amritsar International Airport on Last Saturday, carrying 119 Indian deportees from the US. This deportation is part of the Donald Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants, which began earlier this month. The first batch of 104 Indians was deported on February 5, and a third batch of 157 deportees arrived in India on Sunday (Feb 17).
What is illegal immigration?
Illegal immigration, or unauthorized immigration, occurs when foreign nationals, known as aliens, violate US immigration laws by entering the United States unlawfully, or by lawfully entering but then remaining after the expiration of their visas, parole or temporary protected status.
July 2024 data for border crossings showed the lowest level of border crossing since September 2020. Between 2007 and 2018, visa overstays have accounted for a larger share of the growth in the illegal immigrant population than illegal border crossings, which have declined considerably from 2000 to 2018.
In 2022, only 37% of illegal immigrants were from Mexico, the smallest share on record. El Salvador, India, Guatemala and Honduras were the next four largest countries. As of 2016, approximately two-thirds of illegal adult immigrants had lived in the US for at least a decade.
As of 2022, unauthorized immigrants made up 3.3% of the US population, though nearly one-third of those immigrants have temporary permission to be in the United States, such as those in Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
Opponents of illegal immigration worry about crime, as well as possible social and economic burdens caused by migration. Opponents also insist immigrants enter the United States through a formal process and do not want to reward those bypassing the system.
What the research says?
However, ‘Research’ shows that illegal immigrants increase the size of the US economy, contribute to economic growth, enhance the welfare of natives, contribute more in tax revenue than they collect, reduce American firms’ incentives to offshore jobs and import foreign-produced goods, and benefit consumers by reducing the prices of goods and services.
Economists estimate that legalization of the illegal immigrant population would increase the immigrants’ earnings and consumption considerably, and increase US gross domestic product. Studies have shown that illegal immigrants commit less crime than natives and legal immigrants. Sanctuary cities—which adopt policies designed to avoid prosecuting people solely for being in the country illegally—have no statistically meaningful impact on crime. Research suggests that immigration enforcement has no impact on crime rates.
