Surge in illegal Indian migration to US; China tally trebles in 2 years
Business Standard
|October 28, 2024
The debate around illegal immigration has intensified in the runup to the US presidential election. ARCHIS MOHAN gives insight into the issue
There has been a sharp increase in illegal migration from India to the United States (US) in the last two years, according to the US Customs and Border Protection data.
Indians have topped the number of illegal immigrants from Asian countries caught at land, sea, and air checkpoints of the US since 2022, a dubious distinction that earlier went to illegal immigrants from the Philippines.
But the highlight of the data for 2023-24 (October 1 to September 30), released on October 22, is the surge in illegal migration from China to the US, which has almost tripled in the last two years.
The US authorities detained 78,701 illegal immigrants from China in 2023-24, up from 52,700 in 2022-23, and 27,756 in 2021-22.
