HATIMURIA, India -- Eight years ago, a dozen families showed up at this quiet farming village, saying floodwaters had washed away their homes.
They spoke with a different accent, and the villagers wondered if they might be illegal Muslim immigrants who had crossed the porous border from neighboring Bangladesh. Illegal immigration has been a contentious,issue in this northeastern state of Assam for more than three decades.
Yet "we pitied them and gave them refuge," said Lavanya Bisaya, the 56-year-old mother of the village headman.
But as the newcomers' numbers swelled to 200 families, tensions began to mount, until finally villagers were protesting and chanting, "Liberate our land, remove outsiders!" echoing a debate raging across Assam.
As President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to throw out up to 3 million undocumented immigrants from the United States, this remote Indian state of 31 million is in the midst of an effort to identify and "weed out" some of the more than 20 million illegal immigrants from Bangladesh living in India.
Officials launched a laborious effort to certify the Bangladeshi population in India two years ago, but the drive has been infused with new vigor and cash since the governing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party won state elections in April.
"The Hindu rate of population growth is declining. But the Muslim rate is rising. Most of the Muslims here are from Bangladesh. If this continues, the Assamese Hindus will become a minority soon; we will lose our language, our culture, our identity," said Himanta Biswa Sarma, finance minister in the Assam government.
Fears that terrorist groups with global backing from neighboring Bangladesh would cross over the border to radicalize local youths have also galvanized the effort, officials say.

I couldn’t read the whole article because of the paywall but I didn’t know Trump lived in India.
Soooooooooooo smart of India. It will surely outlive the West.
India also has voter ID so illegals cannot vote.
Imagine that, those racists.

It’s “weeding out” when the Indians do it.
When we do it, it’ll be “racist genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
They are putting his policies into action!
Not to mention undocumented shoppers, undocumented pharmacists, undocumented drivers, and undocumented boyfriends.
(freakin' PC idiots)
Trump is inspiring people to grow a spine and take action.
They are not undocumented, they are illegal aliens.
Citizens of other countries who broke into another country.
Most other countries deport illegal aliens, they do not reward them with benefits.
Hurry Curry
Well worth a repeat.

The biased writer wrote that Trump wanted to deport “3 million undocumented immigrants” via a mass deportation.
Ramalamadingdong conveniently left out some facts, per the WaPo writers’ guidelines (If it smears the Right, write it regardless of the truth and facts).
*Mass deporation - Not really. It will take a long time to get rid of 3 million people.
* 3 million convicted criminals, not 3 million undocumented immigrants
* Oh, they are DOCUMENTED. Their documents are called “Criminal charges”, criminal justice convictions, and prison facility admission papers.
Seems that somebody rang Mr. Ramalamadingdong’s bell too many times. He can always apply for the open job of Director of National Intelligence since they are soon going to be missing a “Clapper” in their bell.
They figured out what the Muslim term for Hiraj meant - mass immigration of Muslims into foreign countries using different ruses in order to invade and overtake them...
STAGE 1: INFILTRATION
STAGE 2: CONSOLIDATION OF POWER
STAGE 3: OPEN WAR w/ LEADERSHIP & CULTURE
STAGE 4: Totalitarian ISLAMIC THEOCRACY

reminds me of the fictional story that was posted couple of months ago
I must have missed it, but when did Trump call for “Mass Deportations”.
