Despite being the 5th largest economy, India still faces significant challenges in wealth distribution and visa compliance. While economic strength is a factor in visa approvals, it is not the only consideration. One major issue is visa misuse and overstaying. With a population of 1.4 billion, even if 10% were to overstay in foreign countries, that would be 140 million people—almost half the population of the United States. This creates serious concerns for immigration systems worldwide, leading to strict visa vetting processes for Indian applicants.\nFurthermore, while India’s economy is large, the majority of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. A high GDP does not necessarily mean the average citizen enjoys financial security. Many people seek better opportunities abroad, sometimes through illegal means, which further justifies the need for stringent immigration policies.\nAnother issue that affects how Indians are perceived abroad is the behavior of some tourists. While not all are at fault, a growing number of incidents involving disrespectful behavior, disregard for local laws, and unruly conduct have led to Indian tourists gaining a negative reputation in some countries, including Nepal. This has made them among the least desired tourists in certain regions.\nUltimately, visas are not just about how much money a country has. Factors like overstays, illegal migration risks, and tourist behavior all play a role in shaping immigration policies. Respect and reputation are earned, not entitled. If you want to be welcomed and respected abroad, it’s essential to create a positive impression through responsible actions and cultural sensitivity.

Liberal media is killing me. Ok, Trump sucks but let's be real are they here illegally or not? If they are here illegally, how does it matter that they are treated like criminals? NO one said they are here to seek asylum so what exactly is the problem with treating criminals like criminals. I don't vote so none of this shit matters to me but seriously this is why the left lost the race. Black people like me are laughing at these immigrants thinking they are white but oops! Seems like racist America likes black people more than immigrants. Indians, Asians, and mexicans have been shitting on black people and we have been telling you FAFO. Have a nice flight!

What Mrs.Palki Sharma won't talk about is that there are mass number of Indians abroad who find it very difficult finding jobs & there is also a rise in the issues of civic sense amongst many Indians abroad. Just because we're the 5th largest economy doesn't mean we out right deserve visas. Even those countries cannot afford everyone. The immigration policies of Western nations have actually become quite a burden for them, there's nothing wrong with restrictions, they're not rejecting everyone.

Let me take your story further. There been a number of suicides amongst Indian students, some have been hooked on drugs, some girls have turned to prostitution and many girls have been sexually take advantage by their Indian / Punjabi landlords and employers. The situation is dire. My advice: Stay in India, the education is better, the social life is better, the food is better, the vibe is better. Money is not everything. Being happy is. Canada has cleaner air, water & streets but the cost is very high. It's a struggle not just for immigrants or students, it's hard for locals. To buy an average detached home (bungalow) in Toronto / Vancouver is over C$1 million. To qualify for a mortgage with 20% down payment, one would need an income of $200,000. FYI, that's a doctors salary.

Yeah, i dont blame any Indians personally, lots of good people that had no way of knowing how bad the immigration problem has become. I definitely put 100% of the blame on government, and maybe a small minority of the worst migrants.

As an Indian , i m happy with what he is doing ?????...\nNo to illegal immigrants

Ignored modi just like ICE ignored illegal indian immigrants??

First native indian get invaded by immigrant europeans and now by indians/asian?

, as an Indian, mujhe yeh dekh ke thoda dukh hota hai ki itne saare log illegal tarike se bahar jaane ki koshish kar rahe hain. Yeh log apni zindagi sudharne ke liye risk lete hain, lekin jab aise deport hoke wapas aate hain, toh unki izzat aur paisa dono barbaad ho jata hai.\n\nMujhe lagta hai ki humein apne hi desh me acchi opportunities create karni chahiye, taaki log risk lekar illegal tarike se bahar jaane ki sochna hi band karein. USA ka yeh strict action ek wake-up call hai ki ab illegal immigration easy nahi raha.

As an Indian, I don’t object. Illegal immigrants are Criminals. They should be brought to their home country like how prisoners are taken to their home country.

Almost 1 million Indians people are gonna deported to India ?? here in Canada ?? eh Hopefully they will be all Well they thinks they can be immigrants rights away being international students

I never thought Indians can protest in America and complain about anything I never thought they even cared about the issues in America I’m really surprised they are even deporting them never knew Indias are even illegal immigrated ?? ???

Indians Go to canada usa And uk And poland Name of student visa After Arraival Destination Violation Immigration rules Illegal work like Prostituion Must punish And deport

Because indians exploited Canada's immigration

Canada ?? is losing it's reputation as a welcoming ? country for international students/migrants, particularly to Indians, due to high inflation, lack of accommodations, lack of jobs, Racism etc . This is mainly because of too many immigrants who have landed into the country after the Covid. \nIt is better that Indians think twice before embarking a journey to Canada ??.

As an indian ,i love trump ....illegal act of citizen braught national shame ,infact india should also deport millions of illegal immigrant

Sorry but I don't like seeing People chained like this because they are illegal immigrants... It's one thing to deport them. Understand that, and it's important, but.. most of the Indians didn't do anything to deserve this treatment....

Canada is for Canadians and legal immigrants, not for crooked Indians.

Stupid politician's statement that USA and Europe should allow Indians to live there without a visa is quite unrealistic. Every country has its own immigration laws and regulations, and it's standard practice to deport individuals who don't have proper documentation or visas ¹. \n \nIn fact, even India has its own set of rules and regulations when it comes to foreign nationals living and working in the country. It's not uncommon for countries to take action against individuals who violate their laws and regulations. \n \nThe concept of visa-free travel is not entirely unheard of, though. There are currently 16 countries that offer visa-free travel to Indian citizens, including Thailand, Mauritius, Nepal, and Bhutan. However, these countries still have their own set of rules and regulations that visitors must follow. \n \nIt's worth noting that the US government has been deporting illegal immigrants, regardless of their nationality, and it's not something that the Indian Prime Minister can simply override. \n \nRather than criticizing the politician's statement, it's essential to understand the complexities of international immigration laws and regulations. It's crucial to respect the rules and regulations of other countries, just as we expect foreign nationals to respect India's laws.

And actually it's really sucks all day long you watched your grandparents or the old ages guy or woman get scammed because of this indian illegal immigrants

USA IS BELONGS TO RED INDIANS, ALL OTHERS GREEN CARDS HOLDERS CITIZENS OF USA ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OF THE USA INCLUDING TRUMP

India has become notorious for the world's worst rates of visa fraud, immigration fraud, illegal migration, financial fraud. Even their marriage fraud rates now rank among the highest in the world. Until Indians can demonstrate a culture based on honesty, reliability, trustworthiness, all of them should be BANNED from any other country. No more tolerance for deception, fraud, crime.

People are responsible. Indians are occupying big chunk of undocumented and illegal immigrants recently- a bad trend

This is the story not only for Indians but for all illigal immigrants. \nThe law of land follows.

Good job...Nice way of treating..they are curse to the hardworking legal Indian immigrants...All countries should kick out any illegal immigrants from any country same way.. of-course Americans should also kicked out same way if they are illegal immigrants anywhere...There will be some for sure ??

There are over 300T illegal Indians immigrants soon to be deported frm USA alone! ????

I am a legal Indian immigrant and I fully support the deportation. If you are entering any country illegally then it’s a crime and what treatment you are expecting being a criminal.

No indian is defending illegal immigration, unlike Mexican. Good job by trump, clean it up.

Illegal immigration of Indians

India don't have war why america accept Indian immigrants

Dear Indian people. I m a legal white immigrant myself and don’t fool yourselves, Americans don’t like you.\nNot my words but i have worked with them for 35 years.\nI hear it daily, legal or not, they don’t like you.

Indians have no hygiene idea, don't take a shower, and it's common practice to sexually assault white women. Please don't immigrate to other countries. I don't need curry, so please don't immigrate

We should accept the truth.\nWe r Colony of USA.\nIndian Illegal Immigrants being citizens of Colonial Country of USA should not expect humanitarian treatment form Government of USA.\nCertainly our PM, being the Head of the Colonial Governments of USA will beg to the President of USA for better treatment on Indian Illegal Immigrants.\nLet us wait for some good news for Illegal Indian Immigrants.

The way Indian immigrants were sent back is sickening! Remember, all most all of the people who entered America from around the world including the colonizers were illegal migrants. They came to America for various reasons, ranging from forced displacement to genocide and persecution to hunger as well. They deserve better treatment! They shouldn’t be otherwise treated because of their color.

Indian “migrants”!? You mean ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Calling them “migrants” is naked propaganda. FF sake CNN, are you utterly blind to how this feeds Trump’s narrative?

Just remembering when u said i saw indians proudly flaunting their passport at london airport and the immigration officer almost looked impressed. Now UK says no to 17%.

I am a indian.....Good job U.S kick out all illegal immigrants from the country very good ❤from ???

There are so many illegals Indians here. . They have taken all the jobs. ., In Brampton nobody else can get work. . They are also very rude and racist. . Lots of them are criminals. . It’s time for Canada to start deporting illegals . These Indians act as if this is India. .They don’t behave as if they are immigrants. . Enough.

A city called TRIPPUR in TAMILNADU IS filled with AFRICANS 90 percentage of them are illegal immigrants can the INDIAN government DEPORT THEM ? Does Jaishankar has the GUTS TO DO IT

Ok, every illegal that gets flown on our aircraft are shackled, handcuffed with belly chains. It's not just Indians. This is to ensure the safety of the plane and Agents. Instead of worrying about BIG BALLS and immigrants. Let's take care of Americans.

Why Indians different all other immigrants are treated the same way too . Indians should stay their country. Instead of coming to Canada and US.

the Indian government is involved in murdering people in america and canada\nwho gives a shit if illegal immigrants are shackled

Wow! How terrible! I hope Indians don't boycott immigrating to America. Syke!

All of this time, as an Indian i was trying to figure out what's wrong about it. They are illegal immigrants what did they expect a business class plane ride. Gosh

When we look at Trump's view, he looks like to be right because he wants to send immigrants, such as Indian and Pakistani, back to their countries to remove those who have committed or may potentially commit crimes. However, he does not implement this decision in a way that aligns with human rights. Therefore, he should solve this immigration problem in a way that respects human rights.

This land has been STOLEN from the Indigenous people. Therefore unless you belong to the Indigenous population, we are in fact just as much an illegal immigrant and a criminal as those indians. Nothing more nothing less. So please stop crying about those indians, wich at least didn't steal land. BTW Indians belong to the least criminal group in the USA (check the stats)..

I am indian if they are illegal they need to be kicked out nothing wrong in this just like in our place we want to kick out bangaladesi illegal immigrants......??????

They choose the wrong way so they deserve it.\nI am an Indian who love to follow the rules. But yes this is not anymore diplomatic way. Now it will be turning to be a political agenda not only in usa and india but also global.\nMy personal opinion over illegal immigrants is just deport them.

Bangla Deshi illegal immigrants in India also are treating by Indian govt..the same way what US did to Indian illegal immigrants to USA. So what is the problem. Indian illegal immegrants are guilty in US eye of law,
