NEW YORK: On the day of Diwali, President Joe Biden invited three Indian Americans to his Diwali reception. This was in a show of solidarity with the Deferred Action Legal Childhood Arrivals (DALCA) kids who are facing extradition. It is reported that there are more than 200,000 such people in the United States. The three invitees to the White House belong to this category.

Dip Patel, founder of the organization Improve the Dream, Pareen Mhatre and Athulya Rajakumar were Biden's guests. The three thanked the President for his gesture and said that they are very happy to be able to reach the White House on Diwali as the guests of the President and hope that the problems they are facing will be resolved soon.

Children who stay in the United States on the benefit of their parents' visas face the threat of deportation when their visas expire. Later they will be known as DALCA. Most of the people who fall in this category are of Indian origin.
