18,000 Indians living in US to be brought back to placate Trump
In a bid to appease the new Trump administration in the United States and show willingness to cooperate with crackdown on illegal immigrants in the US, India is planning to repatriate its citizens living illegally in the US.
This comes amid Trump’s efforts to deliver on his promise of restricting immigration in the US and to deport all those living in the country without proper documents.
Some 18,000 Indians have been identified for deportation, said a report by Bloomberg quoting unnamed sources.
However, the exact number of Indians residing illegally or without proper documentation in the US remains unclear, which could potentially add to the figure.
The Trump administration’s prompt action on fulfilling his key promise of curbing immigration in the US has all those living illegally in the US and even on temporary visas on edge.
