US presidential election.
Atlanta: Only 9 days are left for the presidential elections in America. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have put their full strength into the campaign. The immigration issue has become an important election issue in the US elections. Immigrants from various South Asian countries including India fear that they may face difficulties if Republican candidate Donald Trump wins. In fact, in campaign speeches, Trump has promised not only to tighten Washington’s immigration policies if elected president, but also to launch the “largest” domestic deportation campaign of undocumented immigrants in American history and expand existing refugee programs. It has also been resolved to review.
The former president has also promised to end the provision of birthright citizenship for children of immigrants living in the US illegally, raising concerns of immigrants from various countries including India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Pro-immigration groups have criticized Trump over his rhetoric on immigration. He has said that the resolution to end birthright citizenship is legally questionable, because it (birthright citizenship) is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. At the same time, Democratic Party’s presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris has also underlined the need to reduce illegal immigration.
What is Kamala Harris and Trump’s thinking on immigration?
Kamala Harris says the US immigration system is broken and legislative measures are needed to fix it. At an election rally this week, Trump (78) accused Harris (60) of bringing “immigrant gangs and illegal alien criminals” to America. He said, “Their policy of bringing gangs of immigrants to America is a crime against our country.” “This is a very sensitive issue and we are concerned about the possible consequences if Trump wins,” said Mohammad Iqbal, a green card holder of Bangladeshi origin who has lived in Atlanta for more than a decade. “Trump’s policies are creating panic among various immigrant communities and that is why they are supporting Vice President Kamala Harris,” he said.
Trump more strict on deportation of illegal immigrants
Vasudev Patel, general secretary of the ‘Federation of Indian-Americans’ in Georgia, says that Trump wants to welcome “educated” and “peace-loving” people to America. A survey report by Pew Research shows that supporters of both presidential candidates have different opinions on the issue of mass deportation, but they are unanimous on the issue of border security. According to the report, 88 percent of Trump supporters are in favor of large-scale deportation of immigrants living illegally in America. By contrast, only 27 percent of Harris supporters support mass deportations, while 72 percent are against it. Latanya, a student from Michigan, said that immigration is an important election issue and she is unhappy with Trump’s policies in this regard. He said, “I think Harris is a much better option than Trump in the election. (Language)
