Mixed Outcomes for Indian Immigrants and Students in Trump’s First 100 Days: Aurelia Menezes Comments in Business Standard

In a recent feature published by Business Standard titled “100 Days of Trump: Immigrants, International Students, Refugees in a Limbo,” Aurelia Menezes shared critical insights on the U.S. immigration policy under President Trump’s administration.

She remarked, “Trump’s first 100 days have created mixed outcomes for Indian immigrants and students. It feels more like a crackdown than a reform. For many, it’s proving to be a bane rather than a boon.” Her comments reflect growing concerns among Indian professionals and students navigating shifting U.S. immigration policies.

She also highlighted two key student-focused opportunities currently being discussed in U.S. policy circles: a green card for graduates — aimed at retaining skilled talent — and a merit-based immigration system that prioritizes employability and education. While the green card initiative appears to be more defined, Aurelia noted that “the merit-based model is still being advocated, but we don’t know how or when it may take shape.”
