Human Security-Addressing the issue of Indian illegal and dangerous migration in USA ,Europe

Between November 2022 and September 2023, 96,917 Indians were arrested while entering the US illegally. In 2019-20, the number of Indians caught trying to enter the US illegally was 19,882, while in 2021-22, the number of Indians caught was 63,927.

This illegal dangerous migration has to stop as many Indians die in these attempts or get seriously injured or jailed.

Following steps need to be taken:-

Raising awareness: India should launch awareness campaigns to educate potential migrants about the risks and consequences of illegal migration. This could include disseminating information through various mediums, such as television, radio, social media, and community outreach programs.

Law enforcement and legal measures: India should enforce stricter penalties for human trafficking and illegal migration, targeting both the intermediaries facilitating the process and the migrants themselves. This would act as a deterrent and discourage individuals from attempting illegal routes.

Strengthening legal migration channels: India should work towards strengthening legal migration channels by negotiating bilateral agreements with destination countries to facilitate legal and regulated migration. This could involve expanding work visa programs, promoting student exchanges, and encouraging skilled professionals to migrate through proper channels.

International cooperation: India should collaborate with destination countries and international organizations to tackle the issue of illegal migration. This can involve sharing best practices, coordinating efforts to dismantle human trafficking networks, and providing mutual assistance in addressing the issue.

Crackdown on Traffickers: Strengthen law enforcement efforts to dismantle human trafficking networks. Punish those involved in trafficking and create a deterrent for potential migrants who may be enticed by illegal routes.

Consular Services: Enhance consular services to provide support and assistance for Indian nationals abroad. This can include setting up information centers, legal aid services, and outreach programs.

International Cooperation: Collaborate with other countries, especially destination countries, to share information and coordinate efforts in addressing illegal migration. This can involve intelligence sharing, joint operations, and policy discussions.
