You are the moron for whom immigrants are good.

Illegal Immigrants coming across the border are indeed bad for whole of India.

Assam is showing India light.

If you yourself are an illegal immigrant I could understand your prejudiced notion.
Good enough to address the task at hand rather than extrapolating data to 2061. Accept & execute #Assam_NRC to deport 1.9Mn illegal immigrants identified @INR16Bn as per #AssamAccord, 1985. The #AssamAccord was signed in 1985 not for nothing. For Assam -all immigrants equally bad
