Deportation Rest Policy: US Remains Imperturbable
In a development which has raised eyebrows all over, the United States has made it clear that it will not pay heed to any objections or concerns coming from India regarding its policies. The US has time and again made it clear that it will not budge, resulting in many speculating the repercussions that follow.
This specific policy has been a contention between America and India for a long time now. The Indian government has constantly raised voice with regards to the issue of Indians having to face hardships if they were to be forced back to their country. US remains adamant, arguing that their policies cater to immigration and national security.
Indian officials are very well aware about the lack of success in these efforts and are growing frustrated. Advanced diplomacy has also tended to fall short, as access to a rewriting of the policies has proven difficult. The US made it clear that they do not care about emotional appeals or diplomatic attempts and that they rather wish to be guided by their own self-interests.
The significance of this stance has windows of opportunity and challenges. Several Indian citizens in the US today risk facing the grim reality of deportation. As a result, there is considerable fear and uncertainty in America today, with several families facing the experience of being ripped apart.
Such actions on the part of US authorities have spurred calls for the Indian government to do something. Many are demanding activities such as supporting lobbying at the highest levels of United States government and helping those Indian citizens impacted by the American deportation policies.
One thing is certain: the US deportation policy is going to be a bone of contention in Indo-US relations. It is clear that this issue, with no satisfactory remedy, will create a problem for diplomatic relations between the two countries. Many observers are concerned about a wide range of loses that invoke long lasting damage for both countries, but tend to wonder what the precise damage will be suffers across the board.
