In commenting on the ghastly attack on the Sri Lankan cricketers, the media in Pakistan has followed two broad trends. Either there are disgust and remorse at the whole thing, especially because friendly foreigners are involved or there is finger-pointing at India for being behind the dastardly incident. "Is this the way we treat our esteemed guests," is the general theme of an editorial in Dawn, the country's leading English newspaper. A noble thought, but one that does not ring true.
The controversy and confusion over H1B visas has exercised both India and the United States for much of last year. The focus so far has mainly been on the US trying to protect its own citizens' jobs and thereby foiling the hopes of many Indians. But a new study on immigration from the universities of Duke, Harvard and Berkeley, led by Indian-American technology entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa and released by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, has given the issue of immigrants a whole new spin. The study says that over 100,000 Indians and as many Chinese will leave the US in the next three to five years and go back home because of better job opportunities and quality of life, but primarily because of the US's arrogant immigration policies.

And it won't end until the price of gold and the Dow are about the same number. -Bill Bonner (Bonner is Editor of The Daily Reckoning, a widely followed investment newsletter. I and my colleague Sundar happened to interview him sometime back. You can read the complete interview here)
