The U.S. Missions in India and Vietnam last week co-hosted “Smart Choices, Safe Futures,” a visual discussion led by immigration expert Michael Hough. As Director of Federal Relations and a U.S. Air Force veteran, Hough warned that unauthorized migration carries life-threatening risks—from perilous desert and sea crossings to criminal penalties, long-term bans, and family separation. He highlighted the Trump administration’s $150 billion investment in drones, biometric screening, and critical infrastructure to tighten border security while expediting legal applications. Recent deportations of thousands of undocumented foreign nationals underscore Washington’s zero-tolerance stance. Embassies worldwide, including the Indian mission in Mexico, have issued alerts urging migrants to follow safe, legal visa routes. #USImmigrationNews #USVisa2025 #illegalimmigration #usdeportation #MigrantCrisis #trumpimmigrationpolicy #CrossingTheBorder #LegalMigration #USMexicoBorder #ImmigrationAwareness #indianmigrants #USEmbassyAlert #safemigration #USBorderSecurity #deportation
