Train Indians, then lose jobs to them 2071

I have no problems if all of these things aka your cost of living goes down. When cost of living comes down, it is on the premise that everyone who contributes to the cost of living is willing to accept a lower std of living.

It never can -to match the huge difference in costs. If it did -you wouldn't need a strong dollar policy at the helm.

I just said that lots of americans wish Indians dead -but not that they are any of the below. It is possible that there are americans who are wishing Indians dead simply because they add to the supply of workers -reducing wages for workers stranded in a country with an exorbitant cost of living.

they don't show the productivity required to finance their consumption. If they work harder or consume less (or do a mix of both), the same allegation won't hold true anymore.

Many would fit that description -but not all would. If you look at posts on usenet -is there a reason why the bulk of posters shouldn't be clbuttified as such? I can tell you that the US economy is guaranteed to tank (not coz I am wishing you dead but because many macro-economic indicators are flashing red). If and when that happens, I expect distraught americans to aim for the liquidation of Indians for the same reason that nazis aimed for the liquidation of jews i.e. that they were prosperous and successful and the envy of people outside their community.

Its worth something till the exchange rate holds and till other countries don't compete for the same resources you consume. If every individual who is as productive as an american starts consuming stuff at the same rate as americans do, demand for resources will shoot up and your bills will become worthless.

No -its perfectly relevant. He is talking of his Indian friends who worked hard to become american citizens. I am saying that working hard is nothing but slavery.

if they live in their own country -they cannot be held responsible for crimes committed in the USA. If you think taking jobs away from americans i.e laying them off to get work done for less in India is thievery, you need to take it up with CEOs, managers etc.. They are the ones who exercize that power -not people working for their livelihood in India. That said, I am positive that they cannot be convicted for what you consider thievery. Its their money and they can-will hire whosover (they think) brings value to the table.

they come because your govt encourages them to come to the USA. You can shutter all visa programs -thats fine with me and it is not in violation of any trade agreements. Its your govt that has a policy of attracting talent from across the world and giving them oppurtunities american citizens would salivate to get hold of.

er -the poster to whom Ark responded is an Indian.
