The United States has confirmed that it is deporting illegal Indian migrants in response to reports of a crackdown on Indian nationals.
After taking power, US President Donald Trump has started sending illegal immigrants from all over the world back to their countries. After Mexico and Colombia, now India has also joined this chain. Let us tell you that after Trump’s order, a large number of Indian illegal immigrants are being deported back to India.
Indians are being deported
The US Army has left for India with its C-17 aircraft. So far 18,000 Indian immigrants have been identified in America. According to ‘Reuters’, an American official says that this aircraft will not be able to reach before at least 24 hours. This is the first time Indians are being deported since Donald Trump came back to power.
Trump’s stance on immigrants
Let us tell you that Donald Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had expressed concern over Indians entering America illegally in their talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. At the same time, India had also agreed to take back its citizens going to America illegally. Trump has taken help from the army to remove illegal immigrants from America.
Claim to have identified 18 thousand illegal immigrants
The US Defense Department Pentagon has said that military planes will soon fly from El Paso, Texas and San Diego, California, carrying more than five thousand illegal immigrants. Immediately after winning the presidential election, Donald Trump had talked about deporting about 1.1 crore illegal immigrants from America. Last week itself, the US Army has made six flights to Latin American countries carrying illegal immigrants. Although Colombia did not allow US planes to land in its country, after Trump’s strict stand, Colombia sent its own planes to bring back its citizens. According to media reports, the US has identified about 18,000 Indian immigrants who are illegally in America.
Military planes are being used
Trump is using the military extensively to crack down on illegal immigrants. He has deployed military personnel on the Mexican border. Military bases are being used to keep illegal immigrants and illegal immigrants are being deported using military planes. However, it is being claimed that the cost of sending illegal immigrants using military planes is much higher than civilian planes. Along with expelling illegal immigrants, Trump has also imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China and has threatened to impose tariffs on Europe.
India will do what is right
Let us tell you that Donald Trump discussed immigration in his first phone conversation with Indian PM Narendra Modi after his swearing-in. Talking about his conversation with Modi, Trump said that India will do what is right regarding illegal immigrants. According to the White House, there has been a positive conversation between the leaders of the two countries.
