Public opinion is largely negative towards the deportation of Indians from the U.S., with many expressing little empathy for those who broke immigration laws, citing personal accountability as crucial. While some view the deportees' actions as a violation deserving consequences, others raise concerns about the socio-economic factors driving illegal immigration. There are also discussions about cultural differences within India, emphasizing pride in legal migration processes, especially among South Indians. Mixed sentiments arise regarding perceptions of entitlement and integration among Indian immigrants.

Indian Immigrants

The way things are going, I honestly doubt that immigration will continue the way it has over the past decades. 

We can blame a lot of things that have gone wrong but I think it’s just market saturation.

nosignal03

An illegal Indian driver who paid his way to get trucking CDL license (does not have the required English proficiency) took an illegal U-turn in a US highway, 3 people got killed as a result of his actions - and almost all Indians on Instagram, Facebook and other social media are (i) defending him (ii) claiming he must not be sentenced to life for an unintentional small mistake - small because he only took a U-turn - not a big deal in India (iii) organizing protests.

If these don’t anger the locals against Indians, what will?

dailmar

I mean, India is a low trust society.  If you have ever been in a low trust society, what I'm talking about is pretty obvious.

  If you're coming to a western country, it should be kind of obvious that if you utilize low trust strategies, the local population will at first try to work with you, but eventually, you will literally be boxed out of everything.  

At my college for example, they used to give out quite a lot of money for food vouchers for students struggling to make ends meet.  Well my wife was in charge of giving that money out.  An Indian employee there started referring almost entirely Indian students and telling them to say they already told their story, so my wife couldnt vet them, as theyd just claim they already told the Indian employee.  This was a welle.educated Indian woman too!  In the end, the team had a meeting and I'm pretty sure that person got in a lot of trouble, but that program as a result was essentially gutted to nothing.  Nice job Indians.  That's how you become hated.  Lol. Like I never talked to her again.  Ew gross is all I could think after that of her.

So I'm sorry that some very nice Indian people are suffering for this, but honestly...

I travel a lot and it seems like everywhere I go, they aren't a demographic that is very well liked.

That being said, I meet some wonderful Indian people, but honestly, after my own experiences, my guard is very up when I first meet them.

I'm in Canada for the record if it matters.

Alarmed_Discipline21

Too many too quickly.  Time to make your own country better

SumyungNam

It’s only a few bad apples (hopefully). I’m a white trucker in Canada and the filth left in truck stop showers is crazy. For example yesterday there was a dirty diaper in the shower that I had to force myself to shower in. I see feces everywhere and empty water bottles. 

Unfortunately in Canada they rarely clean truck stop showers once per day, in the US they still clean showers after every person. 

While this might come across as racism, in Canada there’s a ton of East Indian truck drivers. And I don’t think in 2025 I need to be showering with feces all over and adult diapers in the shower floor. 

If this happened only once or twice a month I won’t be complaining. But like 4 times out of 5 truck stop showers are truly gross. 

Maybe I’m being a bit biased but I need to use those facilities 6 days a week, I won’t mind a clean showers once in a while and something has to change.

India is the most populous nation, and isnt developing nearly as rapidly as nearly-as-large China. At the same time, the education system and English skills allows for lots of emigrants. Hence, a huge boom in Indian migrants. The destination nations combined (EU, US, Canada), combined!, are half the population of India (that’s nuts). 

Ya’ll just have too many people and it’s easy to wear out a welcome when you have so many to send. Focus on developing your home nation, it has a lot to offer and the brain drain can’t be helping.

HegemonNYC

I mean the reason is simple: There are just too many of you. You've overwhelmed the immigration systems in multiple countries: US, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and I'm sure many others.

I've known some great Indians: smart, hard working, friendly. So the hatred you get is unfair, but some of you have done shady things. Putting the recent Indian driver incident aside, Desi consultancies destroyed the H-1B system, some of you have engaged in human trafficking, you now have a bad reputation for discriminatory hiring and workplace practices. On top of that there are scam call centers in India swindling elderly Americans every day. So it's very difficult for people to associate Indians with good stuff.

vincenzopiatti

India needs to get its population growth under control, improve quality of life at home, and create jobs in India.  It isn't practical for a sizable proportion of the world's largest country to find work overseas.

ortcutt

&gt;indians are everywhere 

I think this is the problem. Indians are 20% of the world population but represent 80% (or more) of H-1Bs. If it weren’t for congressional country caps, it would be the same for EB green cards. The overwhelming hyper majority of immigration to Canada has been not just from India, but only one or two states of India. Indians are overrepresented in immigrant and foreign worker populations, not just relative to the rest of the pool, but relative to their population. As such, it has become harder and harder for Indian nationals to immigrate. You’re seeing more donkey route crossers, asylum applications from India are skyrocketing as immigration routes close. The fraud is astounding. In science (where I work), we are seeing truly jaw dropping amounts of fraud and patently bullshit papers coming out of India to gamify EB-1A and B applications now that EB-2/3 are mostly off the table. The amount of downstream effects of Indian scamming really can’t be overstated. It’s pervading so many aspects of society. 

This is relatively new, too. Only in the past 5-10 years in many countries has immigration from India become so staggeringly vast. Global economies are slowing down into stagnation and recession, but immigration from India just isn’t letting up. Indian diaspora are also suffering from horrific PR issues. It’s now often poorer, less educated Indians immigrating to countries (especially in Canada). A donkey route crosser just killed three Americans through negligence and there’s now over 2.5 million signatures, nearly all of whom are Indian nationals, to plead for amnesty for the truck driver. Indian culture is also less similar western culture compared to other large immigrant communities, such as Mexicans and other Latin Americans. Whether by inability or lack of desire, large swaths of Indian diaspora are not integrating and adopting western culture to the same degree other communities do.

I’ve lived in Canada and the U.S. Canada doesn’t nearly have the same barrier to entry for Indian nationals as the U.S. does. The overwhelming majority of Indian immigration to Canada is extremely low skilled and working class to poor people. The highest immigration rates in modern history did absolutely nothing to build the Canadian economy. There’s also been a *LOT* of fraud and scamming. The student visas in Canada, WITCH companies, body shops, the food bank scandals, donkey route, etc… 

I’ve been on an H-1B myself. The program is a good thing and I don’t out of hand dislike the program. That said, the tech economy in America has been in free fall for the past several years. Despite this, with comp sci new grad unemployment skyrocketing, more and more H-1Bs are pouring in, almost entirely from India. Likewise with L-1s. You begin to question whether the U.S. government is doing enough to protect American tech workers from foreign competition, almost entirely from India.

In Canada, Indian PRs (not even Canadian citizens yet) are being not just allowed, but invited to sponsor their entire extended family. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and sometimes niece, nephews, and cousins. That combined with widespread low wage LMIA and student visa abuse led to just a completely insane level of low skilled, menial workers overwhelming not just the Canadian job market, but shared resources and infrastructure.

It’s not that there was an incredible amount of immigration from one or two regions of one country. It’s that there was an incredible amount of immigration from one or two regions of one country for absolutely zero benefit. GDP:capita is completely flat going out 10-15 years, skilled economy sectors were never developed, unemployment is now the highest it has been in a decade, barring COVID. What immigration that did happen was almost exclusively low skilled, very little went towards building the Canadian economy. This experiment conducted by the federal government was nothing but a gift to the oligopolies of Canada and landlords.

The problem with Indian migration in my view is 1. The sheer number of migration in comparison to other nations. Countries should try to balance migration between countries so we don't see what is happening now. 2. Indias are terrible at integrating into new cultures, they create small groups where they keep the same values and traditions as they did in India. This is a problem because many of those traditions are at odds with western traditions of inclusivity, women empowerment, diversity etc. Many Indians I have encountered are very male centred and extremely racist and prejudice, only looking out for their own people. The bias is insane.

shootingstars1987

And Indians has wild opinions supporting genocide which removes all empathy towards them actually, especially with these videos of them suppressing muslims in india. Just to add to the recipe

Opening-Cheetah467

Honest question- why does everyone have the mentality to leave India? If no one is willing to solve problems at home and their answer is to just run, then the country stays in perpetual generational trauma with no hope for improvement or change. This is the kind of change that other countries have fought hard for and they don’t owe you anything.

Western_Trash_4792

Yes, and it is warranted. The global sentiment is that Indians exploit every possible incentive, from housing and spousal or family-member immigration to childcare, education, and more. Not only do they exploit these opportunities, but they also actively encourage and support other Indians to do the same.

This extends to breaking laws on issues such as maximum housing occupancy, diversity hiring, and at times racism (though not always), driven by assumptions about superiority linked to the caste system.

As a result, governments have been forced to reconsider their approach, which has also affected compliant countries seeking immigration opportunities.

Over the past 12 months, I have travelled widely to the Caribbean islands, the USA, Canada, the EU, South East Asia, and Australia, and the sentiment is consistent everywhere.

It makes you wonder whether countries that maintain closed borders to India might have the right idea. For example, China has historically limited movement, although they are now encouraging travel between the two countries, which may be a decision they come to regret.

Ultimately, it is the governments that welcomed them that have been exploited. In places where Indians are not generally welcomed, whether for reasons of education or opportunistic gain, you will not find them at all.

needsproducer

Living outside your country is not a right it’s a privilege.

Jazzbert_

I’m brown, and over the last 4-5 years I’ve noticed so many people from back home moving abroad, to the UK, US, Canada, Australia. Most of them don’t even have basic sense, and honestly, it’s frustrating. The way they act in parks, beaches, or public spaces feels so cringe that it makes me embarrassed too.

Glittering-League-61

Indian students have caused havoc here in Canada. Complete disregard for laws and rules, and worse, if anyone tries to educate them politely, these people would use the most offensive language against local Canadians and try to argue with them instead, lecturing and justifying their actions. I fully support these actions taken by various countries to protect their citizens. Indians have brought this upon themselves.

SaltRegister213

Of course the irish reached their breaking point! What do u expect. This small tiny nation being overrun.

SearchSea5799

Even if immigration gets harder for Indians I'm not sure it impacts opportunity.

Every Fortune 500 American firm I have worked for has built offices in India so they can hire most of their tech workforce there at a fraction of the cost. And this on top of already outsourcing jobs through Indian firms such as TCS, InfoSys, HCL, etc. This means less hiring of "expensive" US tech talent and more cheap labor for US firms. If anyone is going to hurt it will be the US tech worker.

twitchrdrm

Leaving India for other countries is seen as an accomplishment by Indians. That mentality is part of the culture. Indians gotta stop leaving, and actually put some effort into building up and contributing to their already booming economy. Western locals are sick and tired of the outsourcing for cheap labor. This has to stop.

Arkangel257

Just too many refusing to assimilate....

You dont see other groups show the level of disrespect

mclovejean

It’s because of cultural differences and expectations of what is fair in a work place. I have had so many toxic coworkers from where you’re talking about, I just never understood it. The management practices and dog-eat-dog approach to everything just make it hard to work with some (not saying all, but some) of the folks coming over to the USA.

reddit_user_OG

The Indian diaspora would be best served if their own people condemned the Florida killer.  I'm not seeing it.  The man is a sikh from Stockton California.   Can his home Gurdwara perform a ceremonial excommunication?

tempsamson

I attended a graduate orientation ceremony last week. An Indian female student was literally grabbing the half of the total snacks (smalls packs of crackers, biscuits, chocolate etc) kept on the table for all the students. Out of embarrassment (my ancestry has left me with a desi look), I left the table through picking only one pack of crackers. I was thinking what she will do with that much unhealthy snacks and what if she can’t eat them all.

Insignia-bd001

Spain is pretty open to Indian immigrants and most of them seem to assimilate well.
I see mostly working class people who buy into a supermarket chain and open up a small store in the neighborhood and provide jobs for themselves.
I see them as hardworking people who always have the store opened, including Spanish and Indian holidays.

Working-Active

Indian man took my parking spot in Santa Clara, CA. He’s a tech, new money type with no regard for American citizens especially people of color. I was waiting on a woman to leave her park after previously discussing with her if she was in fact leaving. 

This guy pulls up in a brand new AMG Mercedes and pull right behind the car blocking the woman trying to back out while proceeding to tell me I cannot have the park. This continued for 2-3 minutes until the woman lost her shit and started thinking profusely to be unblocked. He backed up just enough for her to get out but still blocking my cars path to park easily before speeding into the park. 

They come to this country and make citizens who fought for their right to even be here feel second class to them. I’m in Silicon Valley and have had enough of the entitlement and racist treatment. It’s mainly from Indians and it’s incredibly disheartening since we welcomed them into our country.

Haute510

I’m black and I personally wouldn’t have a problem with Indians or any immigrant group if not for the reality that many of you come here, undermine Americans, and align yourselves with white supremacy when you think (key word) it will benefit you. 

Look how people like Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley bend over to appease white bigots in hopes of gaining money and power. These people are trash. 

No way in hell will I ever support an influx of immigrants into this country who undermine the civil rights legislation my people fought for. Indians, East Asians, and even some black immigrants gotta go. Sorry…not sorry.

BingoSkillz

The Texas suburb I live in has become overtaken with an Indian population in just the last couple of years. Like they all decided to move to North Texas. Anyway, 3 houses on my block, each have 2 to 4 Indian men living in them. And in one house, they dont seem to be working (unless standing outside or being on the phone is a job). No more Halloween or Christmas decorations. Some are letting their grass die, some cut down their trees. A majority drive Teslas, not sure why. At least they don’t drive huge pickup trucks.

Odd_Pause5123

There are over a billion Indians so it’s kinda a numbers game. If you desire a blend then you need to have kinda equal numbers of each nationality. So India and China with 4 times the population of nearest contender (excluding USA) .. it’s gonna be an uphill battle. It’s a numbers game.

AlbaMcAlba

Renting out 1 room with three beds to three separate people for 600 each has become common place here in Ontario. We see it as a massive step back in our cultural standards. A lot of us would be much more amiable to the idea if the current immigrants actually attempted to respect Canadian norms.

Content-Fee-8856

It's not "feels like". It's "they did". Things were not like this 20 years ago. Countries are taking measures to limit all impacts. Calling these measures "racism", rather than trying to fix these entitlements and changing behavior, clearly shows also that you too, is part of the problem.

Ok-Delay5473

People are anti immigration right now. And anti immigration is related to cheap labor. If you are a doctor, you are still going to be welcome. Go to a rural part of America, and if you're Indian, the assumption is just going to be you are a doctor.

It's also a lack of "perceived" accountability. An Indian driver killed 3 people and there is no news from India or from Punjab saying anything negative about the guy. There is no sympathy on the world stage. Nobody saying they will try to curb Indians illegally entering the United States. Do you remember Brock Turner? Rapist who got off on a light sentence? We have news from his family asking for a light penalty because he's only 28. You have people from his village saying he is a hard working person - also appealing his sentence. They are saying it was BAD LUCK what happened to him. Anything to absolve him from what happened, rather than saying the dude is at fault for making an illegal u-turn.

That is what we see. We see an entire culture say nothing, not care, and support a murderer. Yeah bro, no. The rest of the world is going to start to close their doors - minus the countries like Malaysia or Indonesia that use Indians for cheap construction labor.

BendDelicious9089

I saw an Indian guy spitting out in a bus in Canada…changed my mind forever !!!

Top_Water_4503

the real question is, why would world want indians?  
I'm from middle east and i have worked with indians since 2012 onboard cruise ships. I also did diamond wholesaling out of surat and mumbai for a while. I've worked with indian employees, bosses, family companies etc constantly since 2012 outside of india.  
Some of the things that i have experienced;  
1)Onboard Norwegian Cruise Line, almost all officers are indians and they dont allow anybody else to get promoted.  
2)It's well known and documented how racist and discriminatory indian employers/managers are.

3)H1B fraud. It's absolutely insane how they gamed the system and dont even feel bad about it.

4)I've done h2b seasonal work visas with indian family companies. It was so weird to see ZERO americans working for them, however i soon understood why. Nobody wants to work in such a toxic environment. The owner of the business(jewelry) was committing tax fraud, immigration fraud, any type of fraud you can think of and getting away with it. Guess how? He's smart, he knows the system and all his managers are indian, so they are \*bound\* to him. One of his managers were asking a customer(cuban from las vegas) if she can marry with his nephew so he can get green card. Last time i checked, they were arguing about green card marriage fees(i think about 20k usd). I tried to report this guy, but no lawyer took my case because i didnt have access to his \*books\*. Guess where his books are? in philippines office :)  
5)Indians commit fraud, swindle, have absolute zero respect for laws and anything resembling \*ethics\*. They have zero ethics and willing to do anything to get what they want and get more money.  
6)They are dirty, never clean after themselves,nor the workplace they work at.  
7) India is an absolute,total sh.thole(sorry to say it). My country is chaotic enough but i stayed in bandra west in mumbai(apparently rich area) and i felt like i was in the jungle. Everyone was trying to scam me one way or another.  
8) Doesnt matter what your qualifications are, for indian employers, non indians are only \*cannon fodder\* so to speak. You will never get promoted, you will be treated like an absolute worthless sh.t.  
9)Indian managers dont have work/life balance and they think they will gain the favor of their own boss by making their own team work and do nonsense stuff. To be honest, generally, indians dont have an understand of work/life balance.  
10) Caste system is VERY alive and well.  
11)Indians never try to integrate. A lot of them dont even speak english. They always try to \*find a way\* to exploit rules, try to scam people, etc.  
12) I dont even mention how indian tourists behave abroad. It's absolute insanity.  
13) We all know what's going on in canada. Indian employers OPENLY dont hire non indian people, at all.

I can probably write a book about it actually.

I'm happy that indians didnt make it to latin america yet probably because they dont speak spanish and they are scared of the bad reputation of latin america.

So look back at your country and once you realise the situation in your country, you gotta ask yourself; \*my country is like this, why would anybody else should like us?\*

Working_Muscle_6597

The problem is the population numbers. Your own country can no longer hold you all. And instead of implementing policies to help the situation, the government is trying to shift it. They want as many people as possible to leave. And to not come back. (Not allowing dual citizenship.)

Your country has got to get on board with modern environmentalism, government, and simply logic and implement a one child policy, or something similar. The government has to figure out how to accommodate its own population.

The 1st world will never completely shut their doors. Especially not based on race. (Trump is a temporary situation.) The problem is again the numbers. The line is so long to get in to the US for some Indians that it's futile to even apply.

You must learn to adapt to the culture and language for the love of god. I had many interviews over the phone and when Indians are the ones I speak with I know it’s not going to go well. . I can’t understand a word they say. Yet they are put in critical positions without the fluency to speak..

Did they ever want you ? Other than that your observation is correct . Latinos are often cited as overstaying their visas but Indians are just as much to blame !

India is a very bad place for living That is why many people from India more abroad. The best of example of this the national Security Advisor's son is a British national settled in Singapore. The external affairs minister son is settled in the US.

These are positions of power this itself answers the question of how bad India is

cnut-baldwiniv

One of the another biggest reason is India was the no 1 source of spewing hate and pushing bad content all over the internet against Muslim and Chinese. It got worst and totally out of control since COVID and India/china war. I have been in USA since last 12 years and the amount of hate content indians put in internet is astronomical. 
At least on the  twitter and youtube, Indian literally normalized hating other immigrants that were not Indian. Now after all those years of conditioning western audience to hate muslims and chinese, now karma has come back to bite Indians instead. 

What were indians thinking ! They are better than muslims and chinese. Western will love them while they will hate them!! 

Reminder!! Its just on social media the hate is strong against immigrants. USA as a whole is still very tolerant and welcoming to all sort of immigrants. Disclosure I am also from south Asia.

OkTechnologyb

One of the problems I observe here in Canada is they don’t seem to want to adapt and assimilate - with culture nor language. There was a post in IG where a young Indian guy was acting as a translator for people working inside Tim Horton’s. He was standing outside beside the drive through while cars drove by giving their orders. I just find that ridiculous. Why? Why would you insist on immigrating to another country but would not want to adapt? And there’s the littering and literal shitting by the lake shores and just burying it. No fucks given, no respect whatsoever.

Poem104

White American guy here.  Indians are some of the nicest people I've met.  When I was a little boy, my parents had an Indian friend (Shiv?) who taught me about his culture, and I was fascinated.  I play volleyball with some Indian friends; they bring food (well, their wives bring it... thanks Pritti and Aruna!) and we have a great rapport.

They are also some of the rudest and aggressively entitled people, like a line/queue doesn't matter (Brits, I thought this was your thing?), driving is atrocious (some stereotypes are real), and common courtesy seems to be an unknown with many.

But the actions and personalities of the people I actually know outweigh the random encounters of those I don't.

DontAbideMendacity

The west opened their doors to the Indians too wide too soon. They should not have done it for another 20-30 years. Maybe then, the Indians, spoken as a group, might have the civic sense, discipline, moral standard and intellectual level of the Chinese people abroad 10 years ago, or even today.

hour_blueberry

I think it's well deserved, not only because of indians committing crimes in the countries they immigrate to, but also because of the crimes they commit in general. The oppression of minorities in india and the forced conversions. Murdering and beating people for eating beef. The caste system. Being the rape capital of the world. It's unabashed support of israel and it's genocide against Palestinians. And the list goes on. Though I don't believe in it, I guess you're getting your "karma"

Accomplished_Let5313

I realize I may be in the minority, and maybe living in a bubble, but honestly, there is such a negative streak in this comment section that I want to say that I still love Indian immigration, and I have a great time with my Indian coworkers and students. I am a professor, and I am still glad that my department and much of the community around me, is still proud to accept and benefit from people abroad. The people in my field (mathematics) have seen a lot of issues the last few years (a large amount of my colleagues are Indian, but also Chinese and Russian...), so despite the fact I am milquetoast white American, I still hear a lot of complaints. But I wanted to express there are still a lot of people, places, and groups that are not infected by the tilt in opinion you describe. A huge percentage of people are not following this trend into anti-immigration in general. Is it a good idea to try to come here? I don't know. Honestly, this year we had a record low of foreign students in general apply (and less people apply in general) and for good reason. There is a clearly a large group of dislike and disdain that has a grown, and practically speaking, they make this path much more uneasy. But still, after reading this much negativity in this comment section, I at-least affirm that this is not a blanket opinion, and that many communities have been spared this resentment.

Aggravating-Kiwi965

"have now reached their tipping point". What caused the tipping point? By the choice of words you used it sounds like something caused the tipping point, surely just race alone wont just randomly make a group of people get to a tipping point when they weren't before.

I have a mix experience with Indians. It really depends on what religion they follow. I have found educated Sikhs and Muslims a lot more ethical and better than Hindus who will do anything (even break the laws) for money and saving money. They will scam and cheat you for money. For some strict religious reason I have found lesser Muslim Indian scammers and cheaters

This reads like an angry Irishman trying to get Indians the fuck out of Ireland. “Guys wouldn’t it be great if we all fucked off back to India and made that into a solid place instead of clogging up the bar at Mickey’s pub down on Lancaster street in Dublin.”

Zenethe

Indians (me included, even though I was born in the USA) are the one race that ACTUALLY DO need to “go back to their own country”.

Ban all Indians from leaving India for the next 200 years and from getting to work on jobs outside of India. As a result, citizens in various countries will be able to get jobs again.

More houses.

The FBI director of the USA will get fucking deported.

Same for the CEO of Google.

Also same for Ajit Pai (FCC guy who contributed to the repealing of net neutrality).

Indians somehow are really good at gaining wealth to the point where they are actually TOO EFFICIENT. 

It isn’t fair for the average people in the US (who already have to deal with Trump).

Ok_Gene_6933

Sharaku_US

I'm all about immigration, but the day after MS and Xbox layoffs, the CEO told the team to apply for 6,500 H1-B visas for people from India when we have plenty of people here to do the work. It's not the fault of Indian people, but it unfortunately hurts people here domestically by replacing almost every one with Indian people. Also, I believe that Indian people are lovely and love that they want to come here. Also, I think thet people get upset that a percentage of them try to explain away things they do wrong, and people treat that as a monolith.

I have a positive impression of Indian immigrants and their families. Just wanted to let you know.  

Not surprising. Migration from India to Canada is dominated by Punjabis, Haryanvi, and Gujaratis.

And the border from Canada to the US became the main source of illegal migrants from India in recent years: [https://www.npr.org/2024/09/10/nx-s1-5091259/indian-migrants-immigration-canada-northern-border-illegal-us-customs-and-border-protection](https://www.npr.org/2024/09/10/nx-s1-5091259/indian-migrants-immigration-canada-northern-border-illegal-us-customs-and-border-protection)

OP could have checked official source at least. Instead of trying to spread hate

Indian Government (Ministry of External Affairs / Parliament) •	A written response in the Lok Sabha stated that 388 Indian nationals were deported since January 2025: •	333 via three U.S. chartered military flights in February (landing on 5th, 15th, 16th Feb). •	55 on commercial flights via Panama between 20 Feb – 2 Mar

•	State‑wise (chartered flights) (333 people):
•	Punjab: 126
•	Haryana: 110
•	Gujarat: 74
•	Maharashtra: 3
•	State breakdown for the 55 Panama arrivals hasn’t been released.

Maybe you should have used different color code. Like 1-10 light greenish yellow, 10-100 yellowish red or orange, more than 100 as red

We would have to deport another five million just so young people could afford an apartment and get out of mommies house!

I actually know 2 brothers who were deported back to Punjab.  They were Sikh’s and were awaiting asylum while working for another Sikh out of Fresno as truck drivers.  They got stopped in Indiana at the weigh station with 50 kgs of cocaine.  They didn’t actually know it was even in the vehicle and Baljinder told me that he had been forced to work in the US by “rich men” in india who had threatened his family.  Hopefully he’s doing alright now.  They managed to beat their case in trial but last I knew they were both still deported.

This deportation was started for the mexican and black folks who cause crimes. Our Indian deports are mere 5% of people deported. Obviously people who immigrate more are going to be most deported too. So, thats why punjab haryana are in the list

this would be more intersting if the dates weren't such a mess. Why skip so many days and why have such a short range? Is it really representative or is he cutting things up to tell a story.

Such a small number. Should be in thousands atleast

Since January 2025, over 2,400 Indians have been deported from the U.S. The case of 73-year-old Harjit Kaur, who lived in the U.S. for over three decades before being deported, has drawn significant attention.
