India’s most valuable export: Tens of millions of workers
Seattle Times ^ | Alex Travelli NY Times

NEW DELHI — India has a teeming population of able-bodied workers, tens of millions more than its employers can accommodate. Many other countries have the opposite problem: more jobs than workers.

Today, across India’s government and business sectors, a movement is gaining steam to begin exporting more workers. The idea, which economists call labor mobility, is to connect young Indians to companies in places with shrinking populations where labor shortages are holding back growth.

The challenge for India and its partners overseas is the growing opposition to immigration in many countries. Officials are trying to craft policies to make it easier to move Indian workers abroad swiftly, while ensuring they have viable paths home.

On Oct. 9, India’s foreign ministry announced draft legislation for an Overseas Mobility Bill to replace the Emigration Act of 1983. The text proposes to help Indian citizens connect with the “global workplace,” paying special attention to ensuring workers’ “safe and orderly return, and reintegration of returnees.”

“tens of millions more than its employers can accommodate”

That’s their problem and not ours.

We don’t want them. No fitting in except in the 777 heading to Mumbai.

It would be nice if a big plot of land could be secured for freedom lovers to start a new country from square one. Automatic deportation back to the old country for criminals. It would point to Siberia as the world is getting filled up. 100 miles north of the US border in Canada? Like Siberia-too cold. Europe’s floodgates are open to mid-easterners. Chicoms buying up our farmland. Mexicans spicing up our food and deflowering our daughters.

I’m just glad I’m not gonna be around to see it. A hundred years from now the problems will come back. An asteroid could settle it.

Back in 2008, we had a design team go to India to evaluate one of their designs they were doing for us.
An employee stood up and said India was going to take every high tech job from the USA and there wasn’t anything they could do to block it.
About 10 years later, that same design team nearly sank Intel.
They are on full life support now thanks to those decisions to outsource.

We don’t have enough good jobs for Americans, thanks. Take the globalist propaganda elsewhere.

Why then, don’t they turn India into a technology and manufacturing center that would be the envy of the rest of the world?

Why aren’t they valuable for India? Why aren’t these workers making India great?

We’ve noticed over the last few weeks just how world-class their truck drivers are.
Their programmers ate at the same level.

They tend to be arrogant, bombastic, sycophantic and expetts at stealing credit and transferring blame.

And very little deep understanding of their own supposed areas of expertise.

In other words, everything in common with the world US managers and executives live in.

And 5 years after 2008 the same design team designed the GA voter registration system that became famous in 2020.

The options:
1) 50% of US jobs go to Indians. 50% to Americans. Products, software are developed in the US.
2) US projects are offshored to India. 100% of jobs go to Indians in India.
3) Neither of the above. We develop an incestuous industry.

I’d be happy with ‘MCNS’. With idiots in the Middle East (of Canaduh) always voting Lieberal or NDP, I want ‘MAFA’ (Make Alberta Free Again). MAGA is already taken, so ‘Make Alberta Great Again’ is out, for a slogan.
