WASHINGTON: Indians constitute four per cent of the total illegal immigrants living in the US, a country where the overall unauthorized immigrant population has remained unchanged since 2009, a latest report has said.

According to a report by Pew Research, more than 450,000 unauthorized Indian immigrants live in the US, constituting four per cent of the total illegal immigrants in the country.

The estimated figures are of the year 2012, the report said yesterday.

There was considerable decline in the number of illegal immigrants from Mexico between 2009 and 2012, but the overall number of 11.2 million unauthorized immigrants living in the US in 2012, remained unchanged from 2009.

Although the US population of unauthorized immigrants was stable from 2009 to 2012, the number of Mexicans in this population fell by about half a million people during those years.

Unauthorized immigrant populations from South America and from a grouping of Europe and Canada held steady between 2009 and 2012, whereas it grew slightly from Asia, the Caribbean, Central America and the rest of the world for the same period.

Why Indian cursed the undocumented Bangladesh in India and over half millions Indian sneak your way into the US?

 

[Shango]

No they illegal sneak into the US.

Yes they are sneaking in illegally since US embassy only provides visa and tickets to husbands of maids of Indian Diplomats in the US.

But since US has shown such strong resolution to end "slavery', all these slaves are very much encouraged to illegally sneak into the US to escape "Slavery". This is success of US outreach program

 

[Shango]

Why Indian cursed the undocumented Bangladesh in India and over half millions Indian sneak your way into the US?

Because BD was carved out of India and they declared its a land for the Muslims. So its kind of hard to accept their muslims back without getting some of their land back.
