Donald Trump had issued a decree to send illegal migrants back after taking over as President of US President. The US police and enforcement agencies started taking action against illegal migrants since this order of Trump. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar had said on Trump’s decision that India is always ready to withdraw its citizens. At the same time, Punjab NRI Affairs Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal expressed disappointment over the decision of Donald Trump. He said that many Indians go to America on ‘work permits’, but when the duration of their visa ends, they become illegal migrants there.
