Friends of India Redux

As alluded to in an earlier post, the Friends of India is a congressional caucus designed to further the needs of Indian businesses at the expense of citizen and resident workers here. The chief troublemaker is our own Sen. John Cornyn. His main assistant is... (drum roll)... Hillary Clinton. That's right, this is not a Republican vs Democrat issue. All politicians are equally for sale. Clinton is the co-chair. There are other notables too - Kennedy and Lieberman come to mind. In fact, many members of the Senate are falling all over themselves to help Indian businesses displace workers here.

For the "official," "sanitized" description of the caucus, see http://www.usindiafriendship.net/congress1/senatecaucus/senatecaucus.htm. For a more realistic point-of-view, see http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/Archive/Hillary5.txt.
