The thumb rule for such illegal immigrants is that for each illegal person caught four get through. While many immigrants have settled in the border areas, some have moved on, even to far way places such as Mumbai and Delhi. The border is guarded by the [[Border Security Force]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.idsa.in/system/files/strategicanalysis_Jamwal_0304.pdf | title = Border Management: Dilemma of Guarding the India-Bangladesh border | last = Jamwal | first = N.S. | publisher = Strategic Analysis, January–March 2004 | accessdate = 26 August 2017 | archive-date = 26 August 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170826193339/http://www.idsa.in/system/files/strategicanalysis_Jamwal_0304.pdf | url-status = dead }}</ref> During the UPA government, [[Sriprakash Jaiswal]], Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, had made a statement in Parliament on 14 July 2004, that there were 12 million illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators living in India, and West Bengal topped the list with 5.7 million Bangladeshis.
