During his visit to the United States, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the issue of illegal Indian immigrants. He stated that India is prepared to accept back those living in the U.S. without authorization. Modi emphasized that many illegal immigrants are misled individuals from ordinary families. He expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump in combating human trafficking and addressing its root causes. Currently, over 725,000 undocumented Indian immigrants reside in the U.S., according to Pew Research. The Indian government lacks official data on this population, as many have overstayed visas or entered the country illegally.
