Mass Deportation: this is going to be expensive

Pew Research Center dropped the numbers: An estimated 725,000 undocumented Indians living in the US as of recent data (around 2022-2024 figures still cited in 2025 reports).

INDIAN ILLEGALS IN AMERICA THIRD LARGEST GROUP, WAY MORE THAN MOST REALIZED

A top non-partisan research group (Pew Research Center) just updated the numbers: Around 725,000 people from India living here illegally as of 2023. That puts India right behind Mexico and El Salvador/Guatemala – not the small number people used to think.

Older guesses were much lower (some as low as a couple hundred thousand), but the real surge hit via visa overstays (people come legally, then stay past expiration) plus the "donkey route" – long, smuggler-led paths ending at our border. Border run-ins with Indians exploded: Just 1,000 in 2020 -> 97,000 in 2023, before Trump's crackdown dropped it hard in 2025.

Why it matters for America First: This flood of low-wage foreign labor (legal H-1B gets the spotlight, but illegals undercut even more) suppresses wages at the bottom and middle for American workers. Tech, hospitality, construction – jobs citizens would do if not undercut by desperation labor.

Trump's team is fighting back: Thousands deported already in 2025 (highest in years), ICE flights running. But 725K is still a huge hidden flood. Time to deport them all, close the doors, let American paychecks rise first.

This is roughly equal to the number of H1B legally in the USA...think about that.

This is a massive jump from older, lower estimates (some DHS figures pegged it as low as 220,000 in 2022, MPI at 375,000). The surge came via visa overstays (steady at low rates but adding up) PLUS explosive "donkey route" border crossings – encounters with Indians at the border skyrocketed from ~1,000 in 2020 to 97,000 in FY2023, then ~90,000 in 2024. Many from Punjab/Haryana facing job shortages, political issues, high unemployment – paying smugglers big bucks for roundabout paths through multiple countries to hit our borders.

The old narrative was "mostly Latin America" – wrong. India's illegal population exploded far beyond what most thought, holding the wage line low while big biz donors benefit. Time to deport them all, seal it, let Americans climb first.

Share this. Quote it. Spread the truth – we're onto the full picture now.

Great, pass a decent minimum wage law and then arrest the heads of companies that hire undocumented workers.
Ta da!

No need to spend billions for a personal pedophile army to harass and abuse and murder people trying to work to eat.

The ICE chief shared in a hearing today - ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%

What are we even doing?

Deporting illegals. ICE needs to step it up to get rid of millions Biden let in.

for the bajillionth time, if someone is going through the asylum process, the green card process or is here under TPS, they are not here illegally and are not committing any crimes. You can keep pounding the dais with your shoe on this, but it doesn't make it true.

Meanwhile: https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mejugdtqms2c There have been as many ICE employees arrested for sex trafficking as there's been people executed by ICE agents.

See, this is where the math is crazy. In the hearing they kept returning to the tens of thousands of rapists and other violent criminals and sex offenders, and the message from Trump has ALWAYS been that immigrants are criminals.
1) if they are all criminals, then why can't they arrest more who are?
2) why aren't they targeting those tens of thousands instead?

The very fact that these people who not get court appointed attorneys is proof that these do not involve criminal proceedings.

Also, they complained about sanctuary locations that release convicted criminals with ICE detainers when their sentences are complete. Well, shouldn't the question be why isn't ICE keeping track of this so they can pick them up? I'm not sure if all jurisdictions require corrections facilities to notify ICE of releases, but I do know that it is the policy in Minnesota and sometimes ICE doesn't show up.

The whole “mass deportations now” vibe came about because Trump and Vance convinced a number of Americans that a) 20 million people came into the US in four years and b) every single one of them was a violent criminal who needed to be rounded up, imprisoned and deported, not necessarily in that order. Absolutely none of this is true.

Whatever, they can wait out their fake claims in their home country or detainment. No use having a border if you let everyone in and roam the country that shows up and claims asylum. There’s even an app for that, thanks to Biden.

You know, western Russia is primary white and I think would suit most MAGAs quite well. Have you considered moving to make space for decent people?

Well, I guess the blue city mayors that were constantly complaining about the flood of illegals hitting their cities are gullible too. Somehow that all stopped, wonder why ?

That’s your opinion. Recent polls show that a majority of Americans don’t share it.
