With just nine days left for Election Day, immigration remained one of the contentious issues in the U.S. presidential campaign with many immigrants, including from India and other South Asian nations, fearing a backlash if former President Donald Trump wins the poll.
In his campaign speeches, the Republican Party presidential candidate promised a radical shift to tighten Washington’s immigration policy and vowed to carry out the “largest” domestic deportation operation in American history of undocumented immigrants and review the existing refugee programmes if he is re-elected.
The 78-year-old Republican leader has even resolved to end birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, triggering concerns among various diaspora communities, including from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
