[quote=Anonymous]INDIAN ILLEGALS IN THE USA: WAY MORE THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT – THIRD LARGEST GROUP NATIONWIDE

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 &quot;donkey route&quot; – long, smuggler-led paths ending at our border. Border run-ins with Indians exploded: Just 1,000 in 2020 -&gt; 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.

[b]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. [/b]

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 &quot;donkey route&quot; 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 &quot;mostly Latin America&quot; – 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.
