Did India take lessons from America’s ICE? Because like ICE India is down a great job of securing a border. The main difference is that instead of mostly illegal Mexicans it’s illegal Bangladeshi Muslims. With India taking it to another level and actually bulldozing thousands of their homes that were in India. Today we see another way India is fighting back against illegal immigration.

India’s Bengal pushes out Muslim Bangladeshis, deepening religious tensions

Hundreds taken to the border and many others put in detention centres as part of a ‘detect, delete and deport’ crackdown on undocumented migrants.

Hakimpur, India – Raisul Islam stands under the scorching sun near a checkpoint in Hakimpur village along the border with neighbouring Bangladesh in the North 24 Parganas district of India’s West Bengal state.

His wife, Rebeka Khatun, 36, and their two sons, Riad, 14, and Jubair, 16, are sitting nearby at an unfinished building erected with raw bricks and cement, as the brutal heat and humidity, coupled with an absence of potable water, turn the cramped waiting room into a furnace.

Here is an idea, if you can’t provide adequate housing etc. don’t have kids. The problem here is that Mohammad encouraged Muslims to have a lot of kids. 

The people crammed into the building are Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, who have been branded “illegal infiltrators” and brought to the border village as part of a “detect, delete and deport” policy launched by the state government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu majoritarian Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which stormed to power in West Bengal for the first time only a month ago.

I am fine with these detentions, just like I am fine with the ICE detentions for two reasons. First it is punishment for those who thought they can just waltz into America and think we owe them something. We don’t. Secondly and more importantly it sends a message to the world. Don’t come here illegally.

India shares a 4,096km (2,545-mile) land border, the world’s fifth-longest, with Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation with historical and cultural ties to India, including a common language spoken by millions of Muslims and Hindus on both sides of the border, and a century-long history of migration of mainly impoverished workers between what is now Bangladesh and West Bengal, Assam and other Indian states.

So they have a common language. Does that change Islam’s call for dominance? No it doesn’t.

But after its sweeping victory in West Bengal, home to nearly 100 million people, the state’s BJP government ordered a crackdown to trace undocumented Muslim migrants, while it also announced the construction of “holding centres” to detain and eventually deport them back to Bangladesh.

Lock ’em up, ship ’em out! That sounds like a great campaign slogan to me. 

That drive has sparked fears not just among Bangladeshi migrants, but also among sections of Indian Muslims in West Bengal that they too could find themselves victims of a campaign that the government has made clear is driven as much by the religious identity of its targets as by their legal status.

They would not be the victims. The reason being is that Muslims clearly want to takeover India. Their first major land grab is now called Pakistan.

This is a pushback in an attempt to keep the rest of India from falling to Islamic rule.

But their lives changed late last month after West Bengal state’s newly elected Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari ordered the deportation of undocumented Bangladeshi migrants, an exercise his party, the BJP, has already conducted in several states in the past decade.

Adhikari’s threat came with a caveat, though: The eviction would only target Muslim Bangladeshis, with Hindus and migrants from other faiths exempt under a controversial constitutional amendment that imposed a religious test on asylum seekers for the first time.

That is called dealing with a culture killing problem. Muslim immigration. There are currently 195 countries on the planet. Over 50 of them have Muslim majorities. Obviously that did not happen over night. When we think of the threat of Islam we need to think long-term.

Islam said he did not wait for the authorities to find him and his family.

“We decided to surrender voluntarily, fearing harassment by the locals and the police for being an immigrant settled illegally here,” he told Al Jazeera.

Which is another benefit of the “lock ’em up ship ’em out” policy. Hopefully many of them will leave on their own.
