I agree with you on that. But unfortunately I dont see that changing anytime soon. Sad, but true.

Go one step back and try to understand why is the government giving these so-called 'subsidies'. If they dont then corporate America will be up in arms against the government because of their lowered profits. The logic is simple. The world needs a service and the Indian IT companies provide it.

Umm, I am not beating my own chest. I'm sorry if you feel that way. But I am in no way justifying illegal immigration. I am only talking about the current H1-B system and Americans crying hoarse over it. Illegally crossing over the help of coyotes by Mexicans or staying illegally in the country by any Asians is wrong and I dont endorse it. I was only trying to give my side of the argument. The fact remains that the world is global now. People go where there are opportunities. Be it America or be it China or be it India. Its no longer about our people and their people. Its all about being competitive. If you arent competitive enough then I'm sorry my friend, but you will sooner or later be thrown off. India realised this in 1992 when liberalization set in and we started opening up our markets to the world. Well, but this would throw up a completely new debate and the argument would go on forever and ever. As of now I would say I support the governments decision to force RIM to open up their networks :)

US switched to socialistic measure ONLY AFTER the recent recession. Many of those measure were quite questionable (not just by me, but many American experts themselves). For years and years US has been purely capitalist - minimum wages is something that was fixed out of a welfare to society attitude - which is present in any kind of an economy. "If things were run purely along capitalistic lines, there would be no Indians here at all. Travel expenses would negate any savings in labor costs." You cant be serious about this! The purchasing power parity (PPP) index between US and India stands at 3.5 as of date. No amount of initial expenses can negate the amount of money Indians can make there. This would really mean employees being ready to sponsor their own travel as well if they would get to work in the US. Fact remains that Americans have become lax and instead of working out their own efficiencies and making themselves competitive, are sitting and waiting for regulatory measures to help them out. Thats the difference between Asians and Americans/Europeans. Asians think whats the most efficient way of going from A to C, but Americans/Europeans say theres no way of going from A to C without doing B - both approaches have their pluses and minuses, but fact remains that Asians currently are the most efficient and hardworking labour-force in the world.

Are you trying to confuse and mix up Socialist with Capitalist economy? Cause I always thought US was a capitalist economy with market forces governing everything. Corporations want cheap labor, they get it with Indians as employees (who are not just cheap but competent as well). I am confused over your confusion.

I didnt know governments have now started giving away jobs rather than people actually applying for jobs, interviewing for them and getting them based on merit. Americans are weird.

LOL

Just how much do you know about the Indian Media to use words like "borderline third-world paranoid anarchist actually". Keep in mind that one man does not define an entire population and similarly one tabloid does no define the whole media.

As far as I know, the US media is always obsessed with the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton... Think twice before using such language... And no dont think that this is a "little man's complex"
