Latest News Deportation of Indians from America: What is the reason and how to avoid illegal immigration?

New Delhi, – Once again a lot of Indians have been deported from America, which has become a matter of great concern for the Indian diaspora. Due to the increase in cases of illegal immigration and visa violations, the USA has also started taking strict measures against Indians.

Increasing deportation incidents The US administration has intensified action against illegal immigrants in recent years. Many Indian citizens have been deported since the beginning of 2024, most of whom were trying to enter the US illegally or were living there without proper documents.According to data from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, more than 2,000 Indian citizens were deported from the US in 2023. This number is about 30% more than in 2022.

Why are Indian citizens being deported? There are several major reasons behind deportation from the US:

Illegal entry Many Indian citizens try to enter the US through dangerous routes from Central and South America.

Overstay visa Some people travel to the US on valid visas but stay there even after the expiry of the visa.

Rejection of asylum application Many Indians apply for asylum but are deported when their petitions are rejected.

Strictness in immigration laws The US government is taking strict action against illegal immigrants, which has led to an increase in deportation incidents.

Increase in the number of Indians caught from the border The number of Indian migrants caught on the US-Mexico border has also increased in recent months. According to the US Border Patrol Agency, more than 40,000 Indians tried to cross the border illegally in 2023.

Experts believe that the number of Indian citizens taking dangerous routes to reach the US is increasing, with many falling prey to brokers and human traffickers.

Indian Government’s response The Indian government has taken the issue seriously and is in talks with the US administration. The Ministry of External Affairs has said that it is providing necessary assistance to all returned citizens.

The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson said, “We are continuously making efforts to protect the safety and rights of Indian citizens in the US. The Indian Embassy is working to provide legal assistance to deported citizens.”

The Indian government has advised Indian citizens living in the US to keep their legal documents updated and avoid entering the US through illegal means.

The story of the affected citizens Many Indian citizens who were returned from America have shared their experiences. 27-year-old Rajveer Singh, a resident of Punjab, told that he had tried to go to America by paying lakhs of rupees to brokers, but he was caught at the Mexico-US border.

Rajveer said, “I was assured that I would reach America safely, but the reality was very different. The situation there was very bad, and we were detained. Then I was sent to India without any hearing.”

A similar story is of another citizen of Haryana, who told that he had dreamed of going to America by spending his entire savings, but now he is drowned in debt.

Safe and legal ways to go to America Experts say that if a person is planning to settle or work in the US, he should adopt legal methods. Safe options to go to the US include:

H-1B Visa – Work visa for skilled professionals.

F-1 Visa – For students wishing to pursue higher education.

Green Card Lottery – Opportunity to legally get permanent residence in the US.

Family Reunification Visa – Those whose relatives are US citizens can apply under this.

Conclusion: The increasing deportation of Indian citizens from the US is a matter of concern. By adopting illegal methods, Indian immigrants not only suffer financial losses but also put their lives at risk. The Indian government is working on this issue, but people should also be aware and choose the right and legal path.Experts believe that until employment opportunities and economic stability increase in India, people will continue to try to go abroad in search of a better life. The government will also have to take effective steps to address the root causes of this problem.
