Trump blames India for stealing jobs |
Flight of jobs to foreign countries returned centerstage in the US with Republican front runner Donald Trump railing about outsourcing and promising to bring back the jobs. Trump declaimed to a receptive audience in Tennessee recently that broke into chants of "Trump!Trump" and "USA! USA!". He said, they are being ripped off with China, ripped off with Japan, ripped off with Mexico at the border, ripped off by Vietnam, and by India, and by every country. Then, amid wild applause, he added they are taking our jobs. China is taking our jobs. Japan is taking our jobs. India is taking our jobs. It is not going to happen anymore, folks!. Free-trade advocates meanwhile gnashed their teeth at the protectionist rhetoric that always seems to surface at campaign time, while those who are familiar with Trump`s business interests rolled their eyes. Recent exposes about Trump`s exclusive private club — Mar-a-lago Club — speak of hundreds of American residents being rejected for jobs in preference to foreign guest workers.He has also pursued more than 500 visas for foreign workers at Mar-a-Lago since 2010, the New York Times reported, citing the US department of labor, while hundreds of domestic applicants failed to get the same jobs.
