As we know the whole MAGA Republican wignat base had a melt down over Trump and Elon's partnership with Indian Tech Bro's like Vivek and Sriram to import more foreign highly skilled workers via the H1B visa. These legal migrants will essentially act like serfs for corporate owners and ceo's to replace American workers or fill the labour gaps.
Hilarious stuff.
Indians top it by an incredible wide margin. They are basically losing almost half a million highly skilled workers each year. These are stats from 2020 so its probably higher than that now.
It's not that Indians are only in high demand for highly specialized technical skills, more so that their population compared to other nationalities are more willing to take their education and skills to enrich and also benefit foreign westerns countries but also take less pay, fewer rights and social security than what an average native person from those same countries would accept for the same work. So from the point of view of an employer they are seen as subservient people that they can work like dogs, like a feudal overlord. This is why Trump and Elon is supportive of it, it will make them gain and retain more profit.
What is missing from the debate is how Indians who leave are actually hurting India economically and developmental wise. Just imagine how many doctors, nurses, scientists, engineers, accountants, professors, teachers, architects, landscapers, managers, phd holders etc that could help develop and improve India's infrastructure and institutions. While they are contributing to major labor gain in America they are also contributing to major skilled labor shortage in India.
This is not comparable to Chinese for example , where the Chinese H1B migrants are fewer in number and largely go back to their home country to take with them American science, technology, trade secrets and start their own companies in their own homeland. You see this every day.
It directly translates to growth in technology and investment in emerging technologies. So for China it is a Brain Gain, rather than a Brain Drain.
