I don't count people here on work/student/tourist visas as immigrants, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the article didn't when it said "around 1.4 million [immigrants] are Indians".

My best guess would be that the 1.4 million does not include folks on visa's and this number is strictly immigrants, both legal and illegal.

My best guess...

Which was the point I was attempting to make. We have to guess (and I don't like that).

... would be that the 1.4 million does not include folks on visa's and this number is strictly immigrants, both legal and illegal.

Now see, my definition of "strictly immigrants" does not include illegal aliens.

Death to lousy reporters! :^)
