Anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protests have rocked India over the past few days. The government's announcement of a nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) has seemingly intensified the protests further. Both CAA and proposed NRC are related to the status of those who entered India illegally for different reasons. Speaking in Parliament, Union Home Minister Amit Shah classified such people as either intruders or refugees.

The question is -- what would be the number of such people presently living in India illegally?

India Today filed a Right to Information (RTI) request with the Ministry of Home Affairs to find an answer to this key question.

We asked exactly how many illegal immigrants have been identified in the last twenty years. We requested the ministry to provide year-wise data with the location about where they are currently living and what their country of origin had been. The Foreigners Division of the Home Ministry has given a long answer.

It said, "Detection and deportation of illegal immigrants is a continuous and ongoing process. To deal with such illegal immigrants, the powers of the Central Government under Section 3 (2)(c) of The Foreigners Act, 1946 to deport illegal foreign nationals and powers under Section 5 of The Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920 to remove an illegal foreigner by force have been entrusted under Article 258 (1) of the Constitution of India to all the State Governments.

"Further, under Article 239(1) of the Constitution of India, administrators of all Union Territories have also been directed to discharge the functions of the Central Government relating to the aforesaid powers. Therefore, the State Governments /UT Administrations have full powers to detect, detain deport illegal foreign nationals," it said.

"This is a response full of official jargon with not a single fact that answers the RTI queries that have been raised. No number was provided for illegal immigrants, no information provided on their original country or if one were to go looking for them then where should one go to meet illegal immigrants in India.

We had put another question to the Foreigners Division -- how many illegal immigrants have been deported from India in the last twenty years. Our RTI request was, "Please provide year-wise data with the location where they had been living in India and the country to which they have been deported."

The home ministry replied saying, "The required information is not centrally maintained. You may approach the State Governments/UT Administrations for getting the information. The RTI application is also being transferred under Section 6(3) of the RTI Act to the Bureau of Immigration (with regard to Point No 1 and 2) and the Ministry of External Affairs (with regard to Point No 2 only) for providing the available information."

This makes it clear that the Foreigners Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs either has no data on illegal residents and/or their deportation or the MHA does not want to divulge it to the Indian public.

The Ministry of External Affairs in its response said, "The information as sought by you is not available in CPV Division of MEA. However, your RTI application has been transferred to Bureau of Immigration, MHA under section 6 (3) (ii) of the RTI Act, 2005. You may like to follow up with MoI, MHA for further correspondence."

The Bureau of Immigration of the Home Ministry, where our request was transferred by the ministry's Foreigners Division as well as the Ministry of External Affairs said, "As per Chapter VI, Section 24 (1) and Second Schedule of the RTI Act 2005, the Bureau of Immigration (Bol) is exempted from providing any information/details on the subject."

The response from three departments of the central government reminds me of a popular tagline from a detergent's TV commercial -- Dhoondte Reh Jaoge! [you may never find].

God bless ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

There should be more pro-ICE demonstrations like the one Saturday in Burlington. ICE agents are part of the thin blue line, which is getting thinner all the time in Massachusetts, already a sanctuary state in fact if not quite in law.

A sanctuary for them lawless immigrant criminals but a place increasingly fraught with peril for their prey hard-working American citizens and legal aliens.

Look at the ongoing murder trial in Boston of Bampumim Teixeira, charged with the horrific 2017 murder in Andrew Square of two beloved anesthesiologists, both of whom happened to be legal immigrants.

Whats seldom mentioned about this brutal crime, because it doesnt fit the woke orthodoxy about illegal immigration, is that if Teixeira had been an American, those two doctors would be alive today.

Teixeira had violently robbed two banks in downtown Boston, and should have been doing a lengthy stretch in federal prison. But if hed been convicted on serious charges (the way an American would have been) hed have been deported afterwards.

None of the clueless Social Justice Warrior crackpots at the courthouse public defenders, prosecutors or judges wanted this violent foreign (and homeless) thug to be returned to the Third World hellhole where he belonged.

So Teixeira got seven months, state time, for two bank robberies. And then he was cut loose, to murder two civilized, taxpaying human beings. Hes probably surprised now that hes actually looking at hard time, because his worthless ilk practically never is.

Which is why I always say, if I ever get jammed up, I ask for no special treatment. Just treat me like an illegal immigrant.

The more of these violent illegal immigrants ICE can round up and deport the hell out of this country, the better off well all be.

The coddling of foreign criminals is no longer the exception in Massachusetts, its the rule. The hack-infested state judiciary is teeming with the likes of Shelley Joseph, charged in a federal indictment with letting an illegal immigrant Dominican career criminal out the back door of the Newton district courthouse, or Timothy Feeley, who lets illegal immigrant fentanyl dealers out the front door of his courthouse.

Every one of these lawless, welfare-collecting undocumented Democrats that ICE can grab before the judges let em go is one less burden on our welfare and criminal-justice systems.

Increasingly, local cops are running into repeat illegal immigrant offenders who are continuing their crime waves against Americans solely because lunatic suburban judges keep cutting them loose, no matter how heinous the crimes, simply because illegal immigrants are now a protected class.

Last Tuesday just before dawn, the Tewksbury police pulled over a Lawrence man whom they eventually decided to identify as John Doe because they couldnt determine his real identity.

Surely Juan Doe would have been a more appropriate moniker, or perhaps Juan Do-Re-Mi, because his effects included a MassHealth card in other words, hes on Medicaid, also known as welfare.

Juan Doe claimed his first name was Isra, so let us count the ways we know this Lawrence man is an illegal immigrant Dominican, not the Puerto Rican U.S. citizen that he claimed to be:

The first clue that Sgt. Connor observed is that Isra is 35 years old but has just recently been issued a drivers license at age 34. Isra had never been arrested until 2 months after he got his license in January 2018.

In 2018, the mystery illegal on welfare from Lawrence was arrested five times on charges of distribution and possession of fentanyl and cocaine.

This is significant, the Tewksbury cops noted, because it is not common for someone to have almost no gradual build up in criminal history, and then at age 34 an individual gets charged with 5 different drug charges in less than 4 months.

Of course, all of the drug-dealing charges were dismissed, as they so often are, because he is a Lawrence man. I repeat, Judges Joseph and Feeley are no longer the exceptions in the Massachusetts judiciary. With idiots like this on the bench, illegal immigrants run wild, until they actually slit more than one taxpayers throat.

Incredibly, in the halls of justice, where the only justice is in the halls, illegal immigrants get even more lenient treatment than a daughter of an unemployable hack district court judge who drives drunk and then brags to state troopers that she is both a prostitute and a junkie.

Now more than ever, this is why we need ICE to rid ourselves of at least some of these illegal immigrant criminals on welfare.

Why wont the corrupt state judges go after this scum?

Professional courtesy.

Truck driver Maurice 'Mo' Robinson , who is charged with the manslaughter of 39 people found dead in a trailer outside London, has admitted plotting to assist illegal immigration.

Robinson, 25, of Craigavon in Northern Ireland, was arrested shortly after the bodies of dozens of Vietnamese nationals were found in the back of a refrigerated lorry at an industrial park in Grays, Essex on October 23.

Robinson had previously been charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration and money laundering, as reported by CNN.

Appearing at the Old Bailey in London on Monday via video link, Robinson entered two guilty pleas, to charges of conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration with others and of acquiring criminal property.

The 25-year-old entered no other pleas to the remaining charges against him.

The hearing was adjourned until December 13.

Christopher Kennedy, 23, has also been charged with human trafficking in connection to the deaths.

A third man, Eamon Harrison, 23, was arrested in Dublin on a European arrest warrant earlier this month. Police said they had started extradition proceedings to bring Harrison to the UK from Ireland so he can face charges of manslaughter, as well as human trafficking and immigration offenses.

Three other people were also arrested in connection with the investigation in the UK -- a 38 year-old man, a 38 year-old woman, and a 46 year-old man. They have all been released on bail, according to the police.

England truck driver admits to illegal immigration scheme after 39 found dead - ABC Action News

The man who was arrested after authorities found the corpses of 39 Vietnamese immigrants inside his refrigerated truck has pleaded guilty.

Maurice Robinson, 25, was charged last month with 39 counts of manslaughter but entered a guilty plea to lesser charges on Monday, according to the Associated Press. Robinson was the first person arrested for their alleged roles in a people smuggling ring. In addition to others in Britain and Ireland, multiple people in Vietnam have also been charged.

On Oct. 23, the bodies of eight women and 31 men were found dead inside of Robinsons refrigerated truck about 15 miles outside of London. Reports have indicated that the victims may have suffocated, but questions still linger about the exact time during the journey they died and what went wrong.

All of those who died have been identified as Vietnamese. At the outset of the investigation, authorities said the bodies were from China but soon realized that was a mistake. Since the discovery, investigators have been in direct contact with a number of families in Vietnam and the U.K. Police are working to figure out everyone who was involved in the smuggling ring.

What were dealing with ... is the push factors; the war zones, the famine, the conflicts, and the crime and corruption in countries that make people want to leave and the absence of human rights and the attraction of the United Kingdom. Its perceived by organized crime as a potential easy target, said Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer after the discovery.

Boris Johnson suggested that illegal immigrants should be rounded up and sent back in comments made to the Legatum Institute think tank in 2014, Scram News can reveal.

Johnsons hardline comments on immigrants, made while he was Mayor of London, stand in stark opposition to the public image he has created before and since suggesting hes in favour of an amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Johnson made the comments after giving a speech to the Legatum Institute in September 2014 on Athenian Civilisation: The Glory That Endures. In a question and answer session afterwards, he was asked if he would rather be a metic [a foreign resident with no citizenship rights] in Athens, a freedman [a former slave] in Rome, or an illegal immigrant in Boriss London?

He replied:

Im afraid the answer is easy. The joys of living and working in London, even illegally alas, are probably far greater and your life expectancy is probably triple that of ancient Athens, and double that of ancient Rome. Youre far better off in London, though we discourage illegal immigration, andthey jolly well ought to be rounded up and sent back.

The event was described at the time by the Legatum Institute and the Telegraph as Boriss manifesto as a potential Prime Minister, and an outline of his underlying political philosophy. The Conservatives are yet to release their manifesto for this election.

For nearly two decades, Boris has curated a public persona of being in favour of an amnesty for illegal immigrants. This comment, however, casts significant doubt upon the consistency of his stance, and is more in keeping with the Conservatives hardline hostile environment policy than the liberal one nation Conservative position he has sought to portray.

Boris has set out a pro-amnesty position on multiple occasions.

In 2001, while he was editor of the Spectator, the magazine supported the case of an undocumented Nigerian banker abandoned in the UK as a 16-year-old.

In 2008, as Mayor of London, he called for an earned amnesty for illegal immigrants living in London.

Four days before the referendum in 2016, following the scandal over Nigel Farages Breaking Point poster, he said an amnesty would be the humane thing to do.

Earlier this year, after he became Prime Minister, Boris said in the House of Commons that the government would look at the policy.

But when the Conservatives promoted their immigration policy as part of the election campaign, Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, made no mention of an amnesty.

Commenting on Johnsons round them up comments from 2014, a Labour spokesperson said: It was his Conservative Party that sent vans round diverse areas of London, telling migrants to Go Home.

Johnson is not fit to be an MP, let alone Prime Minister.

Johnsons suggestion that illegal immigrants should be rounded up and sent back was made in a very different context to his pro-amnesty public declarations. He was speaking at a relatively small event at the Legatum Institute, a free market think tank which has grown in prominence since the referendum.

OpenDemocracy has described it as the Brexiteers think tank of choice. Last year, the Guardian reported that the Legatum Institute and three other right-wing think tanks had received financial support from US groups which had raised $5.6 million from anonymous donors since 2008. The Legatum Institute has a C rating from WhoFundsYou.

Boris would go on to speak again at the Legatum Institute in March 2015, helping launch a 12-month research project, A Vision for Capitalism. The project was led by Tim Montgomerie, then a senior fellow of the institute and Times columnist. Montgomerie is now a special advisor to Boris on social justice. The project was funded by Paul Marshall, a pro-Brexit hedge fund manager and multi-millionaire. Marshall later helped to fund Vote Leave as well as UnHerd, which was edited by Montgomerie.

We contacted the Conservative press office, who said we would have to wait and see whether Boris Johnsons round them up and chuck them out policy will make it into the manifesto. We await the manifesto launch with bated breath.
