India has maintained that it will accept the return of all its nationals who overstay in any country, including the US, after verifying their nationality.“Having categorisation such as uncooperative brings in added pressure. We cannot condone illegal migration because a few illegal migrants bring bad name to country which sends lack of migrants through legal means,” said a source.External Affairs Ministry spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, recently said that India is “firmly opposed to illegal migration, particularly when it is linked to other forms of organized crime.”He added, “As part of the India-US migration and mobility cooperation, both nations are working together to deter illegal migration, while also creating more opportunities for legal migration from India to the US. We are committed to continuing this cooperation.”Last year, under former US President Joe Biden, 271,000 migrants were deported to 192 countries. Of these, 1361 were from India.ALSO SEE:
