Donald Trump Mass Deportation: Donald Trump took oath as the 47th President of America on January 20. As soon as he took oath, he took many big decisions, which shocked the world. As soon as he became President, he decided to leave WHO, decided to impose tariffs on Canada, and decided to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement.
However, another decision of Trump has worried Indians the most. This decision is related to their illegal immigrants. US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order, due to which illegal immigrants in America are in danger. Under this order, action is being taken against lakhs of foreign citizens with illegal or temporary documents, which includes Indians.
Impact on Indian community
The number of undocumented Indians in America is approximately 7,25,000. Under this order of Trump, these people may come under the ambit of action, due to which they are at risk of deportation from America. According to a Pew Research report, Indians are the third largest group of illegal immigrants. Many of these people are living in Florida, Texas, New York, and New Jersey.
Role of local agencies in 287(G) agreement
The Trump administration has granted local law enforcement agencies permission to investigate, arrest, and detain aliens under Homeland Security under 287(G) agreements. The move highlights the role of local agencies in identifying and taking action against illegal immigrants.
National security and economic impact
Trump has declared illegal immigrants a national emergency, calling them a threat to national security. He believes that his primary responsibility is to protect the American people from the dangers of illegal migration. He has also ordered construction of a wall on the American border, construction of an arrest center and sending troops to the border.
Birthright Citizenship and impact of new policies
Trump has also signed an order to end Birthright Citizenship, which provided citizenship to children born in America. This policy change can have a major impact on many immigrant communities including Indians.
The way forward for the Indian community
The new policies of the Trump administration are posing many challenges for the Indian immigrant community. It has become necessary for the Indian community to follow these policies and be prepared for possible risks in the future. Indians living in the US may need to keep their documents and status updated and seek legal advice.
