The latest crackdown illustrates the thorny issues of porous borders and migration networks permitting illegal entries. Illegal immigrants are generally supposed to procure fake Indian identity papers once they reach the country in order to hide themselves from the authorities and seek work, making their identification an involved process. Illegal migration from Bangladesh to India on the Bangladesh-India border is very intricate and more socio-political in nature, with economic hurdles stacked against it. The authorities are trying to dismantle the facilitating networks and strengthen border enforcement measures against future illegal crossings, along with their concomitant problems.
