India has agreed to repatriate 18,000 undocumented nationals from the US, aiming to strengthen ties and avoid a trade war with the Trump administration. The move aligns with India's efforts to promote legal migration and preserve key programs like H-1B visas. Cooperation comes amid President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and pushes to end birthright citizenship. Indian authorities also hope to mitigate overseas secessionist activities, such as the Khalistan movement. However, concerns arise over reintegration challenges and economic disruptions. India continues signing migration agreements with nations like Japan and Saudi Arabia, ensuring labor mobility while addressing illegal migration issues.
