US and Indian diplomats discuss immigration and economic ties. India prepares to identify and deport Indian nationals residing illegally in the US. India emphasizes the importance of skilled professional mobility and H-1B visas in the India-US relationship.
Top diplomats from the United States and India held talks in Washington, D.C., amidst heightened discussions surrounding immigration and economic ties. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio raised concerns about 'irregular migration' with his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, emphasizing the desire of the Trump administration to collaborate with India on both economic advancement and addressing migration issues.
\Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that the Indian government is prepared to cooperate with the Trump administration in identifying and repatriating its citizens residing illegally in the United States. According to the report, both countries have identified approximately 18,000 Indian migrants who could face deportation. This move is seen as an attempt by New Delhi to appease the Trump administration, which has implemented a series of executive orders aimed at curbing illegal immigration and deporting millions of undocumented immigrants. \Separately, India has emphasized the significance of skilled professional mobility in the India-US relationship, highlighting the mutual benefits it brings. This comes amidst a debate surrounding H-1B visas, a program that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. President Trump has expressed his full support for the H-1B program, defying opposition from some of his supporters. This stance aligns with the views of prominent figures like Elon Musk, who have publicly defended the program. India is the largest beneficiary of H-1B visas, accounting for the majority of those issued by the United States. In the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, India received approximately 78 percent of the 265,777 H-1B visas granted by the US
