Dreams of leaving India


The narrow streets of Dingucha, a quiet village in the western Indian state of Gujarat (PM Modi's birth place) , are spattered with ads to move overseas. "Make your dream of going abroad come true," one poster says, listing three tantalizing destinations: "Canada. Australia. USA."

On the final night of their lives, Jagdish Patel, his wife and their two young children tried to slip into the U.S. across a near-empty stretch of the Canadian border. Wind chills reached -38 Celsius that night in January 2022 as the family from India set out on foot to meet a waiting van. They walked amid vast farm fields and bulky snowdrifts, navigating in the black of an almost-moonless night. The driver, waiting in northern Minnesota, messaged his boss: "Make sure everyone is dressed for the blizzard conditions, please."

Actually it is much easier to get PRs in Canada than in the U.S. Many foreigners who graduated in the U.S. then worked for a US company for 7 years, still couldn’t get a green card and left the country. Worse still there is no universal Medicare system in the U.S., go there to due or what?

Canada today is not like Canada 20 years ago... It has become an immigrant Paradise Wonderland.

But after inviting millions of newcomers to Canada in recent years to help lift the economy, the government has reversed course amid growing concerns that immigrants are contributing to the country’s deepening challenges around housing, health care and other issues. Canada’s economy is now creating fewer jobs, and unemployment, at over 6 percent, remains stubbornly high. It is even higher for temporary residents, at 14%. Many Canadian cities face a housing affordability crisis, and several provinces have overstretched health care systems.

Critics say the large number of temporary residents make these problems worse, and the public mood toward immigrants has soured.

But the immigration law remains tough in the U.S.

Does matter to the Indians where they own country is hopeless as ever.

Every single Indian except for the uber rich and the corrupt politicians will literally kill themselves to leave India if they could.

No other country in the world has this phenomenom - not even dirt bag poor sub saharan Africa!
