Record Breaking Arrests of Indians in USA
Indians continue to have a strong desire to live better lives overseas. It has resulted in a record number of individuals attempting to enter the united states illegally this year. 90,415 indians were apprehended trying to enter the united states illegally between october 2023 and september 2024, according to new statistics released by US Customs and Border Protection (US-CBP). That's around ten each hour!
Indians continue to make up a sizable share of the entire illegal immigration population, which has also increased dramatically to 29 lakh. With over half of the indian population coming from the northwest state, Gujaratis made up a sizable portion of this group. The fact that more individuals are choosing the Canadian path over the Mexican one is another intriguing aspect. This is a result of increased vigilance by US officials south of the data-border.

It indicates that immigrants are no longer choosing the notorious "donkey route." They would like to obtain a visiting visa and enter the US by cab from canada rather than traveling the risky route. Officials claim that despite the high statistics, they only reflect a small portion of the overall number of people trying their luck. It is disheartening to witness indians risking their lives to escape poverty and debt traps in the hopes of a better life in the United States.
