There is one difference between the so called Gha*tis and the UP/Bihari's... The former groups goes legally, abide with the local laws, pays taxes, pays for legally approved homes and gels with the local community by learning the local language and customs.
I dont think that any of these traits are present in the later group (UP/Bihari's), which mostly think and behave like they have a divine right to stay illegally, spread corruption, undermine the local customs and language, raise unrealistic demands about making changes suitable to their community and always stay in a separate community by creating vote banks and attracting undue political pressure.
Most of the guys mentioned in this article came with valid jobs and are highly skills. But I am sure the lot of them staying illegally are from AP (H1-B holders from fake or troubled companies) or Gujarat (Tourist visa holders).
