Rise in Indian Illegal Immigrants
Filed Under Immigration News
Statistics show that immigrants from India are among the fastest-growing groups of illegal and unauthorized aliens in the US.
According to a report by the United States Department of Homeland Security, there was a 125 per cent increase between 2000 and 2006 of the unauthorized immigrant population.
According to the United States Citizen and Immigration Services, an unauthorized immigrant is one who either entered the country temporarily or without inspection, and outstayed their visa.
Under those terms, any immigrants who are applying for an adjustment in status to lawful permanent residence under the Immigration and Nationality Act are defined as unauthorized until legal permanent resident status has been granted.
