Of course the smartest Indians come to America rather than stay in a backward, poor, and filthy country. None of my Indian friends want to go back and they visit their relatives very infrequently.
However, that doesn't mean US industry hires them because they can't find equally-brilliant people here. They hire them for their work ethic, their low salary, and their controlability. I have an Indian friend who has worked for the same company since at least 2000 under disgusting work conditions and low pay, yet cannot change jobs because she's basically an indentured servant. She has an insane boss yet must continue to deal with his insanity or, I guess, be deported. --- MB Software Solutions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't think anyone suggests (or at least they > shouldn't) that the > *best* workers are always US citizens.
