Reply #31: I'm sure you realize that India is not complaining that China is abusing an H-1B type visa program, [View All]

so it is not "the same thing". Or did the distinction go right past you, too?

They are complaining about Chinese companies investing in projects in India but bringing the workers from China rather than hiring Indian locals. That doesn't strike me as the "same thing" as running a flawed and incompetently run visa program for professionals. It would be like Honda building a plant in Ohio then bringing all the workers over from Japan to run the factory.

My point remains that the rise of China economically has had a much greater impact on our economy than has India's slower economic gains. Many, many times as much American jobs (though not as many professional jobs as in manufacturing) have been "stolen" (for your sake I'll keep using the term so that we can keep those passions fired up) by China than by India. So I'll stick by my earlier description of "how a person steals a job".
