Indians in US scramble to get citizenship ahead of president polls

在美印度人争相在美国大选前入籍

NEW DELHI: The run-up to the US presidential elections has seen growing interest among green card holders (technically termed as lawful permanent residents) to obtain citizenship.

新德里: 随着美国总统大选的临近，绿卡持有者(技术上称为合法永久居民)获得公民身份的兴趣日益浓厚。

A little over 5.44 lakh foreign nationals became US citizens during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2018 (which is the nine month period ended June last year). Interestingly, this is a rise of 15% over the same period last year. On the other hand, 7.07 lakh immigrants had become US citizens during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 - this was a 6% decline from the previous fiscal. Data in this regard was released recently by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the immigration agency of the US government.

2018财年前三季度(截至去年6月的9个月期间)，略高于54.4万的外国公民成为了美国公民。有趣的是，这比上一年度同期增长了15%。另一方面，在截至2017年9月30日的财政年度，有70.7万移民获得美国公民身份，比上一财年减少了6%。美国政府的移民机构——美国公民与移民服务局(USCIS)最近公布了这方面的数据。

Advocacy groups, such as the National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA), through outreach programs and legal assistance, aim to mobilise one million 'eligible' foreign nationals in the US to apply in time, to enable them to participate in the de ocratic process.

新美国人全国合作组织等倡导团体旨在动员100万“符合条件”的在美外国人及时申请公民身份，使他们能够参与民*进程。

During this nine month period ended June 30, 2018, as many as 37, 431 Indians became US citizens (nearly 7% of the total), making them the second-largest group following Mexco. were the third-largest group, with 28,547 (5% of the total) obtaining US citizenship.

在截至2018年6月30日的9个月里，多达37431名印度人获得美国公民身份(占总数的近7%)，成为仅次于墨西哥的第二大群体。是第三大群体，有28547人(占总数的5%)获得了美国国籍。

As compared to the previous corresponding period, 5,950 more Indians were conferred US citizenship during the first three quarters of fiscal 2018, which is an increase of 19%. Similarly, the increase for Mexcans is 22% and for it is 18%.

与上一年度同期相比，2018财年前三季度新增5950名印度公民获得美国国籍，增幅19%。墨西哥和分别增长了22%和18%。

Why Indians want to run abroad? I guess for foreign craze and dollars. Often they give reasons like quotas, ques etc. That’s is just excuse.

为什么印度人想要出国?可能因为对国外的狂热，还有赚美元吧。他们经常说是因为印度的预留制，但那只是借口。

Last year remittance to India stood at $80 billions. Many Indian origin CEO''s choose India to outsource the jobs that foreigner''s are not interested in doing. Loving India by heart and hel India financially are equally Indians than those urban naxals who live in India but want to divide India into pieces for selfish benefits.

去年印度的海外汇款达到800亿美元。许多印度裔CEO选择将外国人不感兴趣的工作外包给印度，他们发自内心地爱印度，在经济上帮助印度，他们同样是印度人，比那些为了一己私利，想把印度分裂成几个部分的人更对得起印度人这个称呼。

All these “so called” NRIs are none but south indians. 80% indians in US are telugu or tamils. Why are they so crazy for countries abroad. Dont know why they want to go by hook or by crook to other countries. Any country you pick up, they will be seen. All this immigration restrictions in US are because of them. Now they are flying to Canada and will make another country garbage.

这些所谓的海外印度裔都是南印度人。美国80%的印度人是泰卢固人或泰米尔人。为什么他们对国外如此着迷。我不知道他们为什么要千方百计到其他国家去。随便挑哪个国家，都能看到这些人。美国制定的移民限制都是针对他们的。现在他们正往加拿大跑，又一个国家将沦为垃圾场。

Why do you want US Citizenship when Modiji is promising a bright furure for Indian. If you take up US Citizenship, please keep both your feet in the US. Don’t be half Indian and half American. Leave your Indian baggage behind and be a true American.

莫迪承诺给印度人一个光明的未来，你们为什么想要美国国籍?如果你们成为美国公民，就踏踏实实做个美国人，不要两边倒，不要一半是印度人，一半是美国人。放下你的印度包袱，做一个真正的美国人。

All Indians are not fools to believe Modi. Any thinking person can see that another 5 years of Modi can take us to pre-Independence levels of poverty.

并非所有印度人都会傻到相信莫迪。任何有头脑的人都知道，要是莫迪再执政5年，印度的贫困水平就会倒退到独立前的水平。

most of India foreign exchange come from middle east not America or Europe. Indian living in US settle there so they don't have to sent money and instead take their family there.

印度大部分海外汇款来自中东，不是来自美国或欧洲。住在美国的印度人在那里定居，不需要寄钱回来，他们会把家人带过去。

Indians should not beg for citizenship of the US. In a few years time, India is going to surpass the US in terms of total GDP in PPP terms. India will be still growing while the US may be in recession.

印度人不应该乞求成为美国公民。再过几年，按购买力平价计算，印度的GDP总量将超过美国GDP。印度将继续增长，而美国可能陷入衰退。
