I wonder how anyone can compare this Bangladeshi illegal influx into NE India with Latino illegal influx into US?

NE to become part of B’desh soon: NESO

NEW DELHI, June 15: Concerned over ‘continuous illegal immigration’ from across the border, an influential student body of the North-east today said the region would soon become a part of Bangladesh if immediate steps are not taken to stop the influx.
“Continuous illegal immigration from Bangladesh has become a great threat to India and demography of the whole North-east has been changing due to this large-scale influx,” North East Students Organization (NESO) president Samujjal Bhattacharyya and general secretary NSN Lotha told reporters here.
“If immediate and time-bound steps are not taken to prevent the illegal immigration, the region will soon become part of Bangladesh,” they said.
A NESO delegation, comprising the All Assam Students’ Union, Naga Students’ Federation, Khasi Students’ Union, Garo Students’ Union, All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union, the All Manipur Students’ Union besides others, is in the national capital to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister Shivraj Patil and other central leaders to place their demands.
Bhattacharyya and Lotha demanded the Centre to provide constitutional safeguard to indigenous people of the North-east to protect their rights and interests.
The NESO leaders hailed the ongoing peace process initiated by the Centre to solve the insurgency problems of several north-eastern States.
“We also demand special initiative from the Government for economic development of the region and remedies to the burgeoning employment problem,” Bhattacharyya and Lotha said. PTI
