Illegal migration

Govt must address all related aspects

The landing of a United States (US) military plane with over 100 illegal Indian immigrants in Amritsar on Wednesday was a clear statement by the American government. Reports that many of them were handcuffed and chained underscore the intentions of the US administration. US President Donald Trump had promised to deport illegal immigrants from the country during his presidential campaign and he is doing exactly that. The use of a military aircraft was perhaps to show the seriousness of the cause and pictures of handcuffed illegal immigrants will likely please Mr Trump's core constituency. Although the US, which attracts a large number of illegal immigrants from across developing and poor countries, regularly deports them, the use of military aircraft is not usual because they are more expensive than normal commercial planes. They are being used to make a statement.
