Deportation 'fear': Inside steep decline in Indians' illegal immigration to US

The number of Indians illegally entering the US has significantly decreased by 69% compared to FY2023, likely due to increased deportations under the Trump administration's stricter immigration policies. This shift highlights a growing fear among potential illegal immigrants regarding severe consequences, which underscores the impact of stringent immigration enforcement. The decline signifies a broader trend in illegal immigration from India, reflecting the influence of policy changes on migration patterns. Understanding this trend is crucial for policymakers and immigration experts as they assess the effectiveness of current enforcement strategies.
