Migrant smuggling: Avoid political manipulation

The mass deportation programs in the US and India are currently under scrutiny, with concerns being raised about their impact on various industries and the treatment of deportees.

In the US, the principle of the deportation program is being questioned due to its impact on industries such as agriculture, construction, hospitality, and childcare. The controversial treatment of deportees, which includes shackling and cuffing, has added to the controversy. This controversy has arisen despite being brought up during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US.

On the other side of the globe, India is facing challenges with illegal infiltration, particularly in the east and northeast, including Assam and Bengal. According to a World Population Review, India may have one crore illegal immigrants in a population of around 144 crore people. Illegally immigrating to India has been a topic of concern in the past, with the BJP using it as a campaign issue in the late 1990s and from 2014. However, the article does not mention any specific actions taken by the Indian government to address illegal immigration.

Interestingly, the RSS, an Indian organization, is endorsing the US mass deportation of illegal immigrants and is demanding similar action in India. This stance goes against the principles of pluralism and empathy that the RSS stands for, as well as the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbam (the world is one family) espoused by the RSS chief, Mohan Bhagwat. However, the article does not mention any controversy surrounding the treatment of deportees in India.

The US government, under President Trump, has taken steps for forcible and noticeable deportation of illegal immigrants. This move has caused controversy not only due to the treatment of deportees but also due to its potential impact on various industries. The BJP, an Indian political party, has historically used the issue of illegal immigration as a campaign topic.

The Indian Parliament is losing its hallowed place in Indian democracy, according to the article. The article does not provide details on the consequences of illegal immigration on demography, law & order, indigenous culture, and security in India. Similarly, the article does not discuss the impact of illegal immigration on various industries in India, such as agriculture, construction, hospitality, and childcare.

In conclusion, the mass deportation programs in the US and India are causing controversy due to their treatment of deportees and potential impact on various industries. While the US program is currently under scrutiny, the Indian government's approach to illegal immigration remains unclear.
