India Watches US Immigration Crackdown With Concern

New Delhi: The US crackdown on illegal immigration has sparked fear and uncertainty in India, one of the top sources of illegal immigration to the US. The situation has cast a shadow over thousands of Indian families who rely on the prospect of migration for better opportunities.

According to a statement by Kashmir Media Service, more than 700,000 Indians without legal status were living in the US as of 2022, based on data from the Pew Research Center. The Indian government has expressed confidence in its ability to manage the situation, citing robust diplomatic ties with the United States. However, concerns persist that the crackdown could affect legal immigration routes, including H-1B visas, which are crucial for skilled Indian workers.

In Gujarat, a significant hub for Indian migration to the US, families are closely monitoring the developments, anxious about potential repercussions on their aspirations. Many Indians continue to migrate to the US, driven by the pursuit of improved economic prospects despite the associated risks.
