Let's be intellectually honest. This has nothing to do with the law. This all a part of "the resistance":

An Illegal Alien Criminal from Haiti, who was released into our Country by the WORST President in History, Crooked Joe Biden, and the Radical Democrats in Congress, just beat an innocent woman to death with a hammer at a gas station in Florida. The video of her brutal slaying is one of the most vicious things you will ever see.

He wasn't a target but became one when he attempted to run ICE agents over.
Poor choices come with consequences.

Indian nationals constitute the third-largest population of undocumented immigrants in the United States, trailing only Mexico and El Salvador. As of recent estimates, there are approximately 725,000 undocumented Indian immigrants living in the country. [1, 2, 3]
The phenomenon of irregular migration from India to North America involves specific transit routes, demographic trends, and an ongoing enforcement crackdown. [1, 2, 3]
Common Migration Routes
Undocumented Indian migrants primarily use two entry points into the United States, often organized by sophisticated smuggling syndicates: [1, 2, 3]
Demographic Profile & Regional Pockets
Research papers and census data highlight unique characteristics of this migrant group:
The phenomenon of irregular migration from India to North America involves specific transit routes, demographic trends, and an ongoing enforcement crackdown. [1, 2, 3]
Common Migration RoutesUndocumented Indian migrants primarily use two entry points into the United States, often organized by sophisticated smuggling syndicates: [1, 2, 3]
- The Northern Border (Canada-US): Canada has increasingly served as a transit point. Migrants fly into Canada using tourist or student visas before attempting to cross illegally into northern US states. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- The Southern Border (Mexico-US): Known as the "Donkey Route" (or Dunki), this arduous itinerary involves flying to transit countries in Europe, Africa, or Latin America (such as El Salvador or Brazil) and traveling overland through dangerous regions like the Darien Gap to reach the Mexico-US border. [1, 2, 3]
Demographic Profile & Regional PocketsResearch papers and census data highlight unique characteristics of this migrant group:
- Economic Background: Unlike many global migrant groups, most undocumented Indians are economic migrants from wealthier Indian states, particularly Punjab, Haryana, and Gujarat. The perilous journey requires massive funding—often between $30,000 and $100,000—forcing families to sell ancestral land or borrow from local lenders. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Top US States: The largest populations of undocumented Indian immigrants reside in states with pre-existing, large South Asian communities:
- California (approx. 112,000)
- Texas (approx. 61,000)
- New Jersey (approx. 55,000)
- New York (approx. 43,000)
- Illinois (approx. 31,000) [1]
- Asylum Claims: A significant percentage of apprehended Indian nationals file for asylum upon crossing. According to studies on Illegal immigration to the United States, asylum seekers from India surged by over 460% between 2018 and 2023, with Punjabi speakers representing the vast majority of applicants. [1, 2]
- Mass Deportations: The US government has dramatically stepped up repatriation efforts. Thousands of undocumented Indians have been detained and deported. Notably, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deployed large-scale charter and military aircraft to fly shackled deportees directly back to airports in Punjab.
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] - Border Sharp Declines: Enhanced security, bilateral cooperation, and strict enforcement have led to a sharp contraction in illegal crossings. According to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, illegal Indian crossings at the northern Canada-US border fell by 68%. [1, 2]
- Overstay Enforcement: Beyond border crossings, the US Embassy in India has tightened scrutiny on visa overstays, warning that overstaying tourist or student visas will yield rapid deportation and permanent entry bans. [1, 2]

The history of Tamil boat people seeking asylum in Australia primarily stems from the decades-long civil war and persecution in Sri Lanka, which intensified in the 1980s and culminated in the war's brutal end in 2009. Driven by the threat of violence, human rights abuses, and the legacy of the separatist Tamil Tiger conflict, thousands of Sri Lankan Tamils undertook perilous sea journeys to reach Australian shores. [1, 2, 3]
The flow of Tamil asylum seekers to Australia occurred in several distinct waves and phases:
Early Arrivals and the 2000s
Small numbers of Tamils first began arriving by boat in Australia in the 1990s as the Sri Lankan Civil War escalated. Seeking refuge from conflict and systemic discrimination, many took dangerous routes, often departing not just from Sri Lanka, but also from refugee camps in Tamil Nadu, India. [1, 2]
The 2012–2013 Peak
Following the defeat of the Tamil Tigers in 2009, maritime migration to Australia saw a massive surge. During 2012 and 2013, Sri Lankans—the majority being Tamils—comprised the largest single source of boat asylum seekers to Australia. These journeys, usually organized by people smugglers, were extremely hazardous, with migrants packed into unseaworthy wooden fishing trawlers or cargo holds for weeks at a time. The UN and aid agencies estimated that hundreds, and possibly over 1,200, Tamil refugees died or disappeared at sea while attempting to cross the Indian Ocean during this period. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Australia says it is trying to deter asylum seekers from making dangerous sea voyages
Australia is refusing to comment on the fate of more than 200 Tamil asylum seekers reportedly intercepted at sea to the north-west of the country.
It is believed two boats carrying the asylum seekers were stopped by Australian authorities in the Indian Ocean and that some passengers were handed over to the Sri Lankan navy.
Refugee campaigners say it is a violation of international law.
They say at least 11 of those on board had been tortured in Sri Lanka.
Australia has been taking a tough approach on asylum seekers who try to reach the country by perilous sea journeys.
Hundreds of would-be migrants have died trying to make their way to Australia by boat in recent years.
The government has made no comment for what it says are "operational reasons" and will neither confirm nor deny the existence of the two boats carrying Tamils from Sri Lanka, says the BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney.
But Australian media say that some have already had their refugee claims rejected and have been transferred to the Sri Lankan navy, he adds.
Forcing asylum seekers back to their country of origin without properly investigating their claims is a flagrant breach of the Refugee Convention and international law, the Refugee Council of Australia said.
Chief executive Paul Power said: "For asylum seekers, this is a matter of life and death, particularly in Sri Lanka which has a long history of political violence on a scale unimaginable to Australians."
Ministers say, however, that Australia is upholding its international obligations.
