In recent years, life for Indian students in the United States has become increasingly challenging. A significant concern is the heightened immigration enforcement under President Trump’s administration.

Many Indian students work part-time in Indian stores and restaurants to support themselves. However, these establishments have faced immigration raids, leading to the dismissal of undocumented workers. For instance, in January 2025, the Tin Building in New York terminated numerous employees due to strict E-Verify enforcement, which verifies workers’ legal status in the U.S.

This crackdown has instilled fear among employers, prompting them to let go of student workers to avoid legal repercussions. Consequently, students are finding it difficult to secure part-time jobs, making it hard to afford tuition fees and monthly living expenses. Only those who can manage these costs independently or have substantial financial support from their families should consider studying in the U.S. Relying on parents to send money from India every month can be burdensome due to currency exchange rates and financial constraints.

The current environment has become panic-inducing and sensitive for Indian students. The fear of deportation and the uncertainty surrounding employment opportunities have created a stressful atmosphere. This situation may also impact the box office collections of Telugu movies in the U.S., as the Indian student community forms a significant portion of the audience.

All in all, the combination of strict immigration policies, financial challenges, and a tense environment has made life increasingly difficult for Indian students in the United States over the past five years. Prospective students should carefully assess their financial stability and be prepared for these challenges before deciding to pursue education in the U.S.
