This is precisely why I wrote that the gormintwallahs will fight it tooth and nail. Having failed to secure a direct path to legalized refugee claims, Gonsalves and co are resorting to more roundabout tactics.
Agreed.
Not sure, mate. Deportation nos are rarely announced/produced in public. But the thing is that, we are surrounded by a bunch of failed banana republics who survive from one shitshow to another - they do not even have the state capacity to cross verify and take their citizens back even if they want to and hence, we are just stuck in this strange equilibrium where catching and putting these illegals on the detention camps/closely guarded makeshift shanties is the only way to proceed.
Don't think this Rohingya thingy started in the early 2000s though. They might have settled here legally - because the UPA govt was issuing residential visas for these rohingyas and kanglus left, right and centre. Heck, they even started handing temporary visas to the rohingya illegals who had UNHCR issued identity cards despite India not being a signatory to the UN refugee charter.
