A plane with 112 Indians who were deported from the United States for illegally residing in that country landed in Amritsar on Saturday night. This is the third such arrival in a span of 10 days as part of the Donald Trump administration crackdown on such immigrants.

The NRI commission can guide people about the formalities that need to be completed to go abroad. The agents who are responsible for the youth entering the US illegally need to be brought under the scanner. This will stop illegal immigration not only to the US but to other countries as well.
