Despite becoming the fourth largest economy, there are crores of people living in poverty in India.  Although governments are implementing welfare schemes with crores of rupees to end poverty, the situation seems to be stagnant.  However, illegal immigration is the main obstacle in solving this problem.  Foreigners who have entered illegally from border countries are not only illegal, but they are also receiving the welfare benefits that should be given to the original beneficiaries.  In this context, the Center is taking steps to deport them from the country through the Immigration and Foreigners Act that has been implemented.  (Maxim News)
