Trump’s hammer on dreams, 1 lakh visas suddenly cancelled, are Indians also included in this list?
News India Live, Digital Desk: It is often said that going to America and settling and working there is like a dream for millions of Indians. But for the last few hours, a news has been circulating in the world of social media and news, which has increased the heartbeats of thousands of families. There is news that as soon as the Trump administration came back to power, a huge action has been taken regarding visas. Not one or two, but entire 1 lakh (One Hundred Thousand) visas have been cancelled. Why is this news so shocking? See, cancellation of visas is not a new thing, but the scale on which this work has been done has surprised everyone. Imagine that you worked hard for years, spent lakhs of rupees and now in one fell swoop you realize that it is difficult for you to stay there or go there. It is being told that this action is being taken mostly on those people whose documents are found to be even slightly lacking or whose visa process has been considered ‘dangerous’ or ‘uncontrolled’ according to the new and strict policies of the Trump administration. After all, who is behind this cancellation? From the information that is coming out at the moment, the biggest blame has fallen on those who had settled there illegally or by taking advantage of the old rules. However, this figure of ‘1 lakh’ has also worried the students and professionals living there legally on H-1B visa. Trump’s clear message is “America First”. This means that now the rules for staying there are going to be more stringent than before. How will this affect India? To be honest, whenever there is such a stir in America regarding visas, it affects countries like India and China the most. If the number of Indian professionals among these 1 lakh canceled visas increases, then it can be a big blow to India’s IT sector as well. Many people are also saying that this is just the ‘beginning’, Trump’s entire tenure is going to keep the immigration rules strict like this. What should people do now? If you or someone you know is in America, then it is better to stay updated about your papers and visa status than to panic. These policies of Trump 2.0 appear to be much sharper and more straightforward than the earlier policies. The Indian government may also be keeping an eye on this at the diplomatic level, but at present this time is no less than a test for the travelers and the people settled there. Overall, this news is enough to tell that now the ‘game of immigration’ in America has completely changed. It remains to be seen in the coming days where this strictness will stop.
