So over the past few weeks after the Immigration fiasco that
USCIS pulled last minute I was thinking over it.(trying to find my own explanation
for this unfortunate incident).
Immigration by itself is not complicated. People all over the world migrate to other parts of world, looking for better
life , job, prospects . It's human nature , can't change that.
So thinking about countries, United States of America seem
like a good candidate ,people want to migrate here for better life, because
they have heard so much about this country. How it has placed itself in super
powers. How the system is efficient .Everything seems attractive .
Now when you think from USA's perspective, Its growing in
all ways. Business is thriving , Demand is higher. Where there is demand there
should be supply. So what is lacking in USA?
Well most companies would agree on this. They lack to
produce enough talent to fulfill the growing demand. Which makes them look for
talent in other countries.
As India and China got the most population its only logic
they will find more talent which suits their needs. Companies hire people from
these countries promising all the things that they dreamed off.
Now what does USA have to offer? after few years in the
country , well Grass is not that green as we thought. Legal immigrants are
still in queue to start their life. What they are denied is basic freedom to
live their lives as they wish. something so trivial as switching jobs when they
want.
Now the question is WHY? Should the country think its privileged
because its giving all these people opportunities? or Should the Country feel humbled when these
talent could have gone anywhere in world and they choose USA? It's a chicken
and egg situation now.
But what will happen if this goes on, if the legal immigrants
waiting for just basic freedom is pushed hard?
What will the future generation think? They might change the
picture in their mind about USA. The grass on this side won't appear green
anymore. Now that is a problem to think about. What USA forgets is Europe and
China is equally growing. The future could migrate there , so what will
happen over here? Business will thrive or will it shift to other countries
looking for talent.
If you think business is going down for these companies or
USA will be able to take care of this demand in talent in 5 yrs from now. Well then you are living in a bubble.
Economy is only growing. We are contributing our life for your growth.(The
country's growth is not our growth, you have restrained us from thinking what
is yours is ours) and we just
demand one simple thing. If you want us to stay here and future generation to
come here to help you build a better tomorrow, then help us. we are not your enemy. We are only called when there is a demand.
Just like any other product.
USA imports all kinds of products. Once that is in the
country, Can some other people claim rights on it?
It becomes part of the country, Why do you think talent is
any different, why alienate us?
All these stress about not knowing how your life is going to
be , Do you think it helps us? The productivity will be low thus affecting the
business and affects the economy.
All we are saying is
The choice is in your hands. Think of
tomorrow. Help us so that we can help you.
