A key campaign promise that contributed to Trump&#8217;s re-election was addressing illegal immigration, particularly from neighboring countries. However, issues also arise from immigration beyond the U.S. borders, notably with India, which reportedly has thousands of undocumented immigrants in the country. According to Bloomberg, there are at least 18,000 illegal Indian immigrants currently in the U.S., a number that may soon decrease as Trump collaborates with the Indian government on this issue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reportedly supportive of Trump and will assist in tackling this immigration challenge.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that India&#8217;s cooperation isn&#8217;t purely altruistic; it aims to safeguard legal immigration pathways for its citizens entering the U.S., especially student and H-1B visas for skilled workers. The Economic Times highlighted that India&#8217;s actions are partly motivated by a desire to appease the Trump administration and mitigate trade threats while addressing illegal migration\u2014a central theme of Trump&#8217;s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The report indicated that both nations have identified around 18,000 illegal Indian migrants in America who could be repatriated; however, this figure might be an underestimation due to uncertainties about how many undocumented Indians reside in the U.S. In exchange for its cooperation on these matters, India hopes that Trump will protect legal immigration routes used by its citizens.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023 alone, nearly three-fourths of H-1B visas issued were granted to Indian nationals. While discussions about legal immigration and H-1B visas can be extensive and complex, one thing is clear: Donald Trump knows how to achieve results swiftly\u2014quite different from his predecessor\u2014and Americans should appreciate this progress despite ongoing challenges ahead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2393426,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Trump-with-Modi.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[4538,6184,3813,9231,48962],"class_list":["post-2393425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-citizens","tag-deportation","tag-immigration","tag-india","tag-trump-effect"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Trump-with-Modi.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2393425"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2393429,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393425\/revisions\/2393429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2393426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2393425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2393425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2393425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
