Trump will expel 18 thousand Indians from America- US called India a non-helpful country

Donald Trump News: After Donald Trump became the President of America, the situation may become more difficult for Indian immigrants. It is estimated that about 18 thousand Indians can be expelled from America, because all of them are illegal immigrants and do not have American citizenship. Along with this, they also do not have the necessary documents to acquire citizenship.

Status of illegal immigrants in America

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), the government agency dealing with illegal immigrants in America, has recently prepared a list of about 15 lakh people who are living illegally in America. The names of 18 thousand Indians are also included in this list. Trump had said during the election promise that after becoming the President, he would first send illegal immigrants out of America.

ICE officials have clarified that sending undocumented immigrants back to their countries is an important part of Trump's border security policy. Due to this, the crisis for Indian immigrants may increase further.

Allegations on India

The US government has taken another controversial step, under which it has placed India in the category of "non-helpful" country. This list includes the names of countries that are not helping the US in taking back their citizens. ICE has released a list of 15 countries that are not cooperating in the deportation process, which also includes India.

According to reports, there are a total of 17,940 Indian illegal immigrants in the US, against whom the deportation process is dragging on. This process can take several years to complete, and these Indians are facing a very difficult time to correct their situation.

90 thousand Indians caught

In the last three years, an average of 90 thousand Indian citizens have been caught trying to enter the US border illegally. These migrants mainly come from states like Punjab, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Illegal immigrants from America's neighboring countries are more common, but India ranks 13th among Asian countries.

7 lakh Indian illegal immigrants

According to data from the Pew Research Center, by 2023, there are about more than 7 lakh illegal Indian immigrants in the US. This number is the highest after Mexico and El Salvador. In this situation, the difficulties of these immigrants may increase further after Trump becomes president in January.

Trump's new statement

Recently, Donald Trump said in an interview that he is considering ending the right to citizenship by birth in America. Under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, any child born in America automatically gets American citizenship, regardless of whether his parents have US citizenship or not. If Trump ends this right, it could be a big blow to the American immigrant community.

110 percent increase in the number of immigrants from 1990 to 2017

Data from the Pew Research Center shows that in 1990 there were 23.3 million immigrants in the US, which increased to 49.8 million in 2017. That is, the number of immigrants in America increased by 110 percent. However, this number has decreased to 4.78 crores in 2023.

Conclusion

After Donald Trump became the President of America, Indian immigrants may face not only legal but also social and economic challenges. There have been indications of strict action against illegal immigrants by the Trump administration, and the step taken against India can complicate the situation further. In such a situation, this time can prove to be even more difficult for Indian immigrants, as there is uncertainty about their status in America.
