After Trump's Victory, Indians Search for Immigration and H1B, While Americans Explore Leaving the US

Indians Search 'Legal Immigration' and H1B After Trump’s Win, Americans Explore Moving Abroad and Birth Control Options

Following Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in the U.S. presidential election, Indians turned to Google to learn about immigration policies, while Americans explored ways to leave the country or secure birth control options.  

Spike in Indian Searches for Immigration and H1B  

In India, concerns about Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric during his campaign drove significant interest in Google searches related to U.S. immigration. Queries for terms like *‘legal immigration’*, *‘Trump legal immigration’*, *‘legal immigration under Trump’*, and *‘Stephen Miller’* surged after Trump was declared the winner on November 6.  

Stephen Miller, known for his hardline immigration stance, was appointed as Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and played a central role in controversial policies like family separation. Indians feared stricter visa policies, particularly for H1B visas, widely used by skilled professionals.  

Searches for *‘H1B visa’* also spiked, with related terms like *‘Donald Trump H1B visa’* and *‘US birth citizenship’* seeing increased interest. The states leading these searches were Telangana, Chandigarh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.  

Americans Consider Relocating and Birth Control Options

In the U.S., Google data showed spikes in searches for *‘how to move to Canada from US’* on November 6, with most queries coming from Democratic-leaning states such as Maine, Vermont, and Minnesota. These states overwhelmingly supported Trump’s rival, Kamala Harris, during the election.  

Other related queries included *‘easiest countries to move to’*, *‘how to move to Ireland from US’*, and *‘how to move to New Zealand from US’*, suggesting a growing interest in emigration.  

Concerns over reproductive rights also surfaced, as searches for *‘birth control’* surged in Republican-leaning states like Mississippi, Alabama, and West Virginia. This interest was likely fueled by Trump’s anti-abortion stance and the 2022 reversal of *Roe v. Wade*, which led to stricter abortion laws in several states.  

Additional phrases searched included *‘is birth control being banned’* and *‘over the counter birth control brand’*, highlighting apprehension about potential restrictions.  

The election results appeared to intensify both domestic and international concerns, prompting individuals to seek clarity on immigration, relocation, and reproductive rights.
