In addition to urging businesses worldwide to produce their goods in the US, US President donald trump issued a severe warning to those who do not, threatening to impose tariffs of "billions and trillions" of dollars. Approximately 18,000 indian nationals have been ordered to be deported as part of the trump administration's tough stance against illegal immigration.
 
Despite being the largest group of foreign students in the US and the top users of H-1B visas, over 20,000 illegal indians are in danger of being deported, according to a report by the news agency ANI. Deporting these illegal indians will have serious repercussions, according to global affairs specialist Robinder Nath Sachdev.

To further tighten immigration regulations, canada has also established a cap of 505,162 international students for 2025. indians wishing to migrate to these industrialized nations in search of better education, work, and a higher standard of living are anticipated to be significantly impacted by these policies.
 
An important initiative made by saudi arabia is expected to help migrant workers, particularly Indians. To end forced labor pay, the nation's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has unveiled a ground-breaking policy. This new program, which was announced on january 21, 2025, makes saudi arabia the first country to take significant action to protect the rights and welfare of migrant workers from across the world while establishing a safer workplace.
 
Notably, a sizable population of indians are employed as skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled laborers in Saudi Arabia's many industries. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) reports that more than 2.6 million indians are living in Saudi Arabia.
 
The 2014 Protocol to the international Labour Organization's Forced Labor Convention has been implemented by saudi arabia, making it the first country in the gulf Cooperation Council to do so. It has also made history by enacting this policy, becoming the first Arab nation to actively combat forced labor on a global scale.
 
"The National Policy for the Elimination of Forced Labor is an important milestone for the Kingdom of saudi arabia," said Sattam Al-Harbi, Deputy minister for Control and Development of the Work Environment, according to the Arab news story.

According to Alharbi, "It demonstrates our collective commitment to creating a safe environment for everyone living and working in our country, ensuring their rights are protected," Arab news said.
 
Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 heavily relies on Saudi Arabia's national strategy. He hopes to demonstrate via this project that saudi arabia is on par with any developed country in terms of employment, quality of life, and travel.
