Rubio: US immigration crackdown is global, not aimed at India

economictimes.indiatimes.com —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected claims that the Trump administration's immigration crackdown targets India, calling it a global overhaul of the US system. He acknowledged Indians may feel the impact more due to high visa application numbers. Rubio said the changes address 20 years of immigration system neglect and abuses like birth tourism, not unique to India. He stressed the US still welcomes students, workers, visitors, and investors through legal channels, but wants laws complied with. Rubio argued illegal immigration poses the biggest threat to legal pathways, though he noted mass migration is not an Indian phenomenon. He said the fixes aim to make programmes more sustainable globally.
