Illegal immigrants from India rise alarmingly in US: Report

February 19, 2008

India may have taken giant strides in every possible sphere of life across the world, but there are things that come as real blot to its global image.

Quoting a US Department of Homeland Security report, mercurynews reports that Indians are the fastest-growing group of illegal immigrants in the United States.

The report says there are 2,70,000 unauthorized Indians in the United States - a 125 percent jump since 2000, the largest percentage increase of any nation with more than 100,000 illegal immigrants in that country.

The report says though the number of Indian immigrants is low when compared to people from Mexico, the Indian context is appalling as the illegal immigrants mostly consist high-skilled workers. Illegal immigrants from other countries are mostly low-skilled workers.

Mercurynews, in its report, also says if the trend continues India will only trail only Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala in illegal immigration.

The report quoting experts says virtually all immigrants enter the US legally and then violate the visa terms, thus becomimg illegal immigrants.

"How do you get in? You come across the border, or you arrive here with a visa," Lindsay Lowell, policy director for the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University told Mercurynews.

"Indians aren't going to be walking across the border like Mexicans," he said.

The goal of the liberal (and Bush/McCain type Republicans) is to bring as many non-whites into this country as they can.

True- Change the Christian culture, and you change the country.

T.S. Eliot:

“If Christianity goes, the whole of our culture goes. Then you must start painfully again, and you cannot put on a new culture ready-made. You must wait for the grass to grow to feed the sheep to give the wool out of which your new coat will be made. You must pass through many centuries of barbarism. We should not live to see the new culture, nor would our great-great-great-grandchildren: and if we did, not one of us would be happy in it.”

The article said — “Indians aren’t going to be walking across the border like Mexicans,” he said.

I was thinking the same thing. At first, I asked, “What!? Are they swimming over?”... LOL...

Indians are either Hindi, Punjabi or Sikh. Back in Vancouver (where they are the MAJORITY), a good number of my HS classmates were Indian-Sikh. The muzzie groups are too small.

I agree that illegal is illegal but you have to admit that Hindi illegals are the best we could hope. L like the Cubans before them, they tend to vote Republican and they will bust a Islamist and not think twice!

Illegal immigrants from India rise alarmingly in US

"alarmingly"???

Did we ever see the word "alarmingly" used to describe the flood of illegals coming across the southern border?

What is driving this is that India is bizarrely top-heavy with skilled professionals, like engineers, who have no jobs, and who are not allowed to make their own jobs. These are the best, cream of the crop, type immigrants.

Put bluntly, these are not people who will take American jobs. These are people who will *make* American jobs. If just *allowed* to create an innovative business, they will do so and make millions, providing work for large numbers of Americans.

If I was a billionaire, I would create teams of these Indians and tell them to “invent products that will sell”, and the US would have a new industrial revolution on its hands.

I would also encourage the Indians to create a large number of high quality “export” medical schools, so that graduate doctors and nurses, which are *always* in shortage in the US, would finally be here in the numbers we need.

Well, the NY area has had large non-Mexican/Central American illegal populations for some time. We have plenty of Poles, Pakistanis, Brazillians, etc. who "overstay their visas." Back in the 1980s, their were two neighborhoods in the Bronx (Norwood and Woodlawn) that were seemingly dominated by illegal Irish.

Not entirely correct. The overwhelming majority of them are data entry jobs and low-level bio-teach jobs where they depress wages in both the tech and bio-tech industries. Of even greater consequence, it that hordes of illegals from nations that do not share the Judeo-Christian culture contribute to the accelerated fragmentation of the U.S. This is a dangerous trend toward increasing secularization and demands to treat all cultures alike. Look what has occurred in England and you get the picture. It’s time to stop all H1B visas- enough is enough.

The Founding Fathers had similar views and fears of Catholicism changing America’s Protestant heritage. For years, they were treated as political and cultural outcastes by the Protestant majority, and the Church, vilified as the “Whore of Babylon”.
