Donald Trump has come into action mode as soon as he took power in America. They have started taking action against illegal migrants in us. People who do not have complete visa documents are very scared. India is also worried about this. Meanwhile, the question is whether India is ready for the “legal return” of Indians living illegally in America. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has made India’s stand clear regarding this. In America, S Jaishankar, while clarifying India’s stand, said that New Delhi is ready for the “legal return” of Indian citizens living ‘illegally’ in foreign countries, including America.

India’s stand on illegal immigrants clear
S Jaishankar made it clear that India’s position on this issue has been “consistent” and “principled”. He also said this clearly to US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio. Jaishankar said that he feels there is a certain debate going on at the moment and there is sensitivity as a result of it. But India has been consistent. We have been principled about this. I have told this very clearly to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“India is against illegal migration”
However, the External Affairs Minister also emphasized that India supports ‘legal mobility’ between the two countries. He wants that Indian skills and talent should get the best opportunities at the global level. However, India is strongly opposed to illegal migration. Because it is not good from reputation point of view. Many illegal activities also take place due to this.
In his meeting with the US Secretary of State, the Foreign Minister also pointed out the long time taken for US visas. He said that this is not good for the relationship between the two.
