According to new estimates by the Pew Research Center, there were about 7.25 lakh Indian illegal immigrants in the US. Indians are the third largest population of unauthorized immigrants after Mexico and El Salvador. According to data released by the Washington-based think tank Pew Research Center, there are 1.05 crore unauthorized immigrants in the US as of 2021. Which represents about three percent of the total US population and 22 percent of the foreign-born population.

What is the Lacan Riley Act, which increased this danger

US President Donald Trump has been calling illegal immigrants in America as intruders ever since he won the election. The US Senate passed a bill on illegal immigration just after Trump took the oath of office. This bill was passed 64-35. This bill has been named the Laken Riley Act.

Central Americans are the most likely to enter the US illegally

From 2007 to 2021, nearly every region of the world saw large increases in the number of immigrants entering the United States illegally, with the largest increases occurring in Central America (240,000) and South and East Asia (180,000).

Most immigrants come from Mexico and El Salvador

The report said that the number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico living in the US has crossed 41 lakh in 2021. This number was the lowest since the 1990s. At the same time, the number of illegal immigrants from El Salvador has increased by 8 lakh and that of India by 7.25 lakh. The special thing is that the total population of the Central American country El Salvador is only 64 lakh, out of which 8 lakh are living illegally in the US.

These states of America have the highest number of illegal immigrants

The report said the six states with the highest unauthorised immigrant populations in 2021 were California (19 lakh), Texas (16 lakh), Florida (9 lakh), New York (6 lakh), New Jersey (4.5 lakh) and Illinois (4 lakh).

Guatemala and Honduras also have large illegal immigrant populations

The report said the population of unauthorised immigrants from other countries stood at 64 lakh in 2021, up by 9 lakh from 2017. Other countries with the highest number of unauthorised immigrants are Guatemala (7 lakh) and Honduras (5.25 lakh).

What is Trump's agenda that Indians are scared of?

There has been an increase in illegal immigrants from almost every other region of the world i.e. Central America, Caribbean countries, South America, Asia, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, the government organization (ICE) dealing with illegal immigrants in America has prepared a list of about 15 lakh people who are living illegally in America. In this case, ICE said that sending undocumented immigrants out of the country is part of Trump's border security agenda.

The number of criminal immigrants in America is 6.55 lakh

Those who have criminal charges or have been convicted, number 6.55 lakh. After that, attention will be given to the 14 lakh people who have been given deportation orders after legal process. Of them, only 40,000 are in custody. To deport even this many people, about 150 flights will be required. To evacuate those who have already been given deportation orders, more than 5000 flights will be required.

Donkey route is becoming a means of illegal immigrants

Donkey route or donkey flight is a way to travel from one country to another illegally. This route is used to reach America, Canada and some European countries. Donkey route means the backdoor way to go abroad. Every year, thousands and lakhs of people adopt the illegal way of 'donkey route' to go abroad. This is extremely dangerous and life-threatening. There is no guarantee of reaching the destination.

9 thousand people had to lose their lives in this illegal migration

Dunki comes from the Punjabi word 'Dunki', which means to jump or jump. That is, in this journey, people are sent to different countries with frequent stops. Last year, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has said that in the year 2023, 8,565 migrants died while traveling on land and sea routes across the world. IOM said that the number of migrant deaths increased by about 20% in the year 2023 compared to the year 2022.

This route of Donkey Route is the most dangerous

Travel agents used to arrange direct flights for Indians from Delhi to Serbia, where they used to land in Belgrade. After this, they were taken to Hungary and then to Austria. Austria shares its border with Italy, Switzerland and Germany. In such a situation, Indians used to reach there illegally. From here, after crossing the Panama jungle, the next stop is Guatemala. Guatemala is the biggest hub of human trafficking, from where the smugglers are handed over to another agent. From here they are taken to the border of Mexico, where the agents smuggle them into the US or Canada illegally.

Indians are caught at the Mexican border while trying to enter America

According to the US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP), Indian citizens are the fifth largest group of illegal immigrants entering the US through the southwest border. Between October 2022 and September 2023, 96,917 Indians were caught crossing the border illegally into the US. Of these, 30,010 were caught at the Canadian border and 41,770 at the Mexican border. According to the USCBP, 1,49,000 Indians were detained for attempting to enter the US illegally between February 2019 and March 2023. Most of these people were from Gujarat and Punjab.

If Indians get stuck, they can get 'help' from here

If any Indian is stuck abroad or is facing any other problem, the victim and his family members can register their complaint on the 'madad@gov.in' portal of the Ministry of External Affairs. On the Madad portal, you can register a complaint about any problem being faced abroad. You can register a complaint with information like mobile number, email ID etc.

Wait, know this before going to America

According to the Ministry of External Affairs, these things should be considered before going abroad. Keep photocopies of your passport (including visa pages), insurance policies, traveller's cheques, visa and credit card numbers. Keep it in a different place from the original documents and also keep a copy with someone at home. Follow the laws of the country you are visiting. Report loss, theft or damage of passport immediately. Carry extra photographs for passport. Stay in touch with your friends and family at home and give them a copy of your insurance policy details and details of your trip abroad.
