Indians In US: As Donald Trump’s second term as the President of America begins, the problems of migrants have started increasing. While illegal migrants are being dropped across the border in military planes, rules are being strictly enforced for legal migrants too. In such a situation, even Indians living in America legally are facing the fear of deportation. Indian students studying here have started leaving part time jobs due to this fear.
Actually, under the rules of F-1 visa, foreign students studying in America are allowed to work only for a maximum of 20 hours in a week. He can also do this job only in the campus of his institute. However, students also work outside the campus against the rules to meet their expenses. Now after Trump’s strictness on immigration rules, students have started leaving their off-campus part-time jobs.
‘I don’t want to take risk’
The Times of India has talked to some such students. One such student is Arjun who is graduating from Illinois University. He says, ‘I used to work in a small cafe after college to meet my monthly expenses. From there I used to get $7 an hour. I used to work 6 hours a day. This was a good arrangement. But last week I left that job. I don’t want to be deported because of unauthorized work. I can’t take this risk.’
‘We friends have decided not to work anymore’
Neha, another Indian student doing her Masters in New York, says, ‘My friends and I have decided not to work anymore. Have taken. This is a difficult decision but we do not want deportation. We cannot jeopardize our student visa. My parents have sacrificed a lot to send me here.’
Trump administration is strict regarding immigrants
Donald Trump had issued several executive orders just after taking oath as President on January 20. These included many orders like expelling illegal immigrants from America as soon as possible and strictly following the rules made for legal immigrants. On Friday itself, two military planes from America dropped 160 illegal immigrants across the border to Guatemala.
