India set to take back 18,000 citizens from US to placate Trump

In an effort to comply with the Trump administration's harsh immigration stance, India has agreed to repatriate approximately 18,000 undocumented Indian citizens from the US. This decision comes as India attempts to negotiate for more compassionate immigration policies, including enhanced access to student and H-1B visas, which are vital for the future of India's skilled workforce seeking opportunities abroad. Critics argue this move could compromise the rights and dignity of those being sent back, in a desperate bid to appease an administration known for its anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Showing commitment to law and orderly migration, India has agreed to retrieve 18,000 of its citizens who are living illegally in the U.S., directly responding to the Trump administration's call to ensure that countries take responsibility for their citizens. This move is seen as a strategic negotiation by India to secure better immigration channels, like student and H-1B visas, for its citizens in the future. Critics of the open border policies are applauding this action as a victory for legal immigration systems and a step towards respecting the rule of law.
