Illegal migrants from India. Few facts.
First of all most Indian's who would want to migrate are simply too bone poor. When you are so weak with starvation you can't exactly think of hopping continents. Many just die with hunger.
No one starves in India. The poor drink, get sick and die - Firstpost
Secondly India is geographically farther from Europe and has the border with Pakistan in the way as a buffer to westward movement. This also reduces the smuggling linkages that migrants use.
Thirdly despite all this there are significant number of Indian's hiding amongst the migrants. In fact European Community has approached India about illegal Indian migrant problem.
"BRUSSELS: The European Union (EU) hopes it will be able to discuss with the Narendra Modi government this year the issue of illegal immigration from India that has assumed worrying proportions"
EU wants to discuss illegal migration with Modi government - The Times of India
you forget to mention from the link you gave the following countries which are way above Indians in illegal migrants in EU as India is at No 8
"Whereas a downward trend can be seen in the last few years in irregular migration from a country such as China, which showed comparable figures in 2010, the flow from India has remained constant. By comparison, around 10,000 irregular migrants from China were found in that year," Malmstrom told IANS.
In 2012, EU member-states returned around 12,000 Indian citizens found to be staying irregularly.The EU has 28 member-states.
Below are top countries whose citizens staying illegally in EU
Afghanistan (33,500) and Pakistan (29,000) are the two top countries from where illegal migrants were found staying illegally in EU.
The above figures are from your quoted link only
