Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Migrants : Economic vs Persecuted

 


 

Article link:

Migrants locked out of the West

 

Extract from the article:

 

The article discusses how migrants, particularly economic migrants seeking better opportunities, are facing challenges in the West.

 

It highlights the plight of those seeking a better life in Western countries but are labeled as economic migrants and face repatriation.

 

Despite the opposition from various quarters, the influx of migrants into the EU continues to be a daily occurrence, posing economic and social challenges.

 

The article sheds light on the struggles and marginalization faced by this group of individuals who are often the biggest losers in the political landscape.

 

My Take:

Exporting Manpower

 

Reflecting on my earlier blog post about the massive diaspora of Indians working abroad, it's evident that the challenges faced by economic migrants resonate deeply with the current scenario.

 

The reluctance of host countries to embrace these individuals seeking a better life mirrors the sentiments expressed in my past write-up.

 

The resistance from trade unions and political parties against migrants echoes the concerns raised about job displacement and economic strain due to migration.

 

It's crucial to address these issues with compassion and understanding while finding sustainable solutions to integrate migrants into the workforce.

 

 

Land of Koop Mandooks - Frogs in Well

 

In the context of the current article, the concept of Indian professionals excelling on the global stage despite challenges resonates deeply with the struggles of migrants seeking acceptance in the West.

 

Just as Indians overseas contribute significantly to their host countries' economies, migrants too have the potential to enrich the societies they join.

 

The parallels between the narratives of Indians working abroad and economic migrants striving for better opportunities underline the importance of inclusivity and recognizing the talents and aspirations of diverse populations.

 

Call to Action:

 

To the policymakers and authorities mentioned in the article, I urge a reevaluation of immigration policies to provide equitable opportunities for migrants.

 

 It is essential to create pathways for economic migrants to contribute meaningfully to their host countries while fostering diversity and inclusivity.

 

 Embracing migrants as valuable assets rather than burdens can lead to a more prosperous and harmonious society.
