Immigration crackdown: A wave of frustration and fury among the public?
In a series of recent events, the repatriation of Indian migrants deported from the United States has sparked heated discussions among citizens. The journey of these individuals, who were reportedly transported in a giant army cargo plane with their feet shackled and hands tied, has raised concerns and questions about their rights, the cost of entering America, and the underlying issues in India.
The conversation has highlighted the struggles faced by these migrants, with some arguing that illegally entered countries cannot find well-paying jobs due to their visa situation, leaving them doing odd jobs like cleaning and housekeeping. The journey itself is perilous, involving trekking through jungles and putting their lives in the hands of criminals, facing tough terrains, wild animals, and risks such as rape and robbery.
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has been mentioned in connection with the repatriation. Deported migrants, as citizens of India, have the right to practice their freedom, yet some are asking for government support, including loan waivers and government jobs. This has led to a debate about the rightness of asking for such support and the financial contributions these migrants could make if they remained in India.
Some argue that these migrants do not contribute financially to India, while others believe they should do odd jobs in India instead of migrating illegally. The Supreme Court of India has ordered states and union territories to notify rules for registering Sikh weddings, which some see as a sign of the government's focus on domestic issues, including unemployment and poverty, which many of these migrants are seeking to escape.
The online discussions have been extensive, with a Reddit post highlighting the long debates about the issue. Some are angry that deported migrants are flaunting their illegal journey on social media, giving the impression they are above the law. Others express sympathy for their plight and support their calls for help.
The return of deported Indians has also had diplomatic implications, with the Prime Ministers of India and Greece reaffirming their strategic ties. As India remains the 5th largest source of illegal migrants to the US, with over 100,000 reported by the US Border Protection Agency, the issue is likely to remain a topic of interest and debate.
The cost of entering America is approximately 85 lakhs, a significant sum that many Indians cannot afford. As the conversation continues, it is clear that the issue is complex, with many perspectives and emotions involved. The question of what can be done to help these migrants, and whether they should be supported by the government, remains unanswered.
