This is probably the most realistic article on illegal immigration that I have read recently. It does not pretend that enforcement alone will solve everything, nor does it assume that humanitarian concerns override every other consideration. Instead, it treats immigration as a governance problem that requires administration, identification, enforcement, incentives, and long-term planning. That may not generate viral headlines, but it is how most successful public policies are actually built. The biggest takeaway for me was that India should stop asking whether it should copy America or Sweden and start asking what works under Indian conditions.
