India is preparing to bring back around 18,000 of its citizens who are living illegally in the United States. This decision comes as President Donald Trump threatens mass deportations as part of his crackdown on illegal immigration.
Trump has made it clear that he wants to end birthright citizenship and has mobilized troops on the US-Mexico border to prevent illegal crossings.
In response, India is cooperating with the US to identify and repatriate its citizens. By doing this, India hopes to secure legal immigration routes for its people, such as student and H-1B visas, and avoid a trade war with the US. The Indian government is also working to strengthen its labor agreements with other countries and deter secessionist movements. This move is seen as a way to ensure that Indian citizens can continue to legally migrate to the US and other countries for better opportunities
