@Dr.Gainzzz That's true only because the US middle class is unlike any other for the simple reason that the US Constitution protects everyone's property and due process rights. The rich/poor dichotomy is true everywhere only to the extent that there are people with power everywhere and underneath them people without any political power at all. The middle class is a third choice between king and peasant. Under the British system there was an actual "landed" class that basically came from inheritance of lands granted originally by the monarchy. So the "Landed Gentry" could be regarded as "Middle Class" because they don't have the king's wealth but their not poor. But generally people assigned "Landed Gentry" to the same class as the monarchy except taht they were not of the royal family itself. But the middle class as a term evolved from people who were not landed gentry but neither were they peasants. This in theory represents the entire US population because nobody has land grants from any monarch. And we don't have any peasants that have no property rights. For the US system the Marxists decided to have a "scientific" way to create these categories as "proof" that the US is not a classless society. They use economic data and arbitrarily decided that the lowest percentage of citizens in terms of income were "poor" and then they constantly make up garbage about who is rich and who is not poor but not rich. Nor to US "Political Scientists" distinguish between rich SJW's like Pelosi (she's just SJW class) and "Fat Cats" like Trump that are "Capitalists" and "not woke". India is much, much more complicated. You have a lot of clans and traditions about who can do what and who can even associate with one another. That's not conducive to the creation of a national "middle class". In the French Jacobin political paradigm they are mostly "Third Estate" (same idea as Third World) and these factions are often fighting each other. The connected rich people consider them Untermensch but unlike the German Nazis they don't consider their underclass to be dangerous. But if the USA had the same total population we would always produce many times more engineers and professionals because most Indians are not of the "class" that can even go to engineering and law schools and so forth. India is also "exceptional" in that sense. IOW, you can't just toss about these "social science" tropes and make informed comments about what it's like there. I hear that the disenfranchised classes are managing to get some to the schools but how would I know to what extent that is true? What I do know is that the last nation we should help to "develop" is any nation that refuses to even consider holding elections because the workers are regarded as chattel. Communists hold more slaves now than the US Democratic Party ever did. Why would we help the regime get richer so they can afford to enslave even more people? How is this different than "Industrialists" that help Germany rebuild after WWI and now have their names smeared because of WWII? I think helping the CCP is far worse than helping the German Nazis. Of course it all changed when the Germans sunk some of our ships, a clear act of war. But people are so stupid emotionally about all of these things. The traitors are the ones that sit around fighting over trivia while the CCP has US corporations building "hi tech" factories over there. Worse are the ones that put programs in to place to ensure that our energy prices go up and China has even lower energy prices as a result. And programs to force Americans to buy Chinese electric cars and so forth. It's so freaking obvious. Why would anyone give any thought to what's happening with India when China stole most of the jobs their fighting over. Deal with the CCP first. And completely. Then stop worrying about India or any other "democracy" that is struggling to develop economically.

These are all exaggerations, to say the least. But my problem basically comes from this: US politicians destroyed our schools and destroyed economic liberty at all levels from getting an entry level job to opening up your own business, whatever business that might be. The economic liberty is greater in China than it is here, but China is Communist and so you can't really count on keeping it. With respect to India, it is very large and as far as I know all of the engineering schools teach in English. So adding that pool of workers is obviously favorable to employers. Especially since the cost of living for the students is much lower and it's not just "culture" but Indian workers rarely carry debts with them to the USA. According to Libertarian economics this is all OK because both the US and India are experiencing "progress" in "knowledge" and material development. But hiring Chinese and hiring Indian workers in the USA is full of risks. China is obviously the very worst because there are no benefits to us other than a willingness to work for almost nothing if the regime orders it. And because China is "Communist" and does not hold elections, its leaders can exploit its own workers and do anthi9ng that they want so if China governs badly (not unlike North Korea) all of this "development" of their people will not go to the benefit of the masses but will only make the regime stronger and more likely to turn to zero-sum expansion (like China's expansion in to the "South China Sea". So there is no way we should ever hire people associated with the CCP. Even if they are acting in good faith the CCP tracks its subjects globally and never overlooks an opportunity for espionage and sabotage of "Capitalism". We don't have those risks with India. India's development creates more prosperity for itself and for global trade which has the potential to benefit other nations and its citizens. The key to all of this is how does it affect the rule of law? And the problem with any immigrants these days is that the DC regime is using everyone to manage their own "GDP" goals and then "Disparity" (that actually is planned, expected and hoped for) is handled through government programs that turn everyone in to subservient subjects that care less about their Constitutional rights and more about their "civil rights" as they perceive them. IOW, to cut to the chase, the people that act as gatekeepers for visas and programs and so forth use it politically with a Marxist materialist worldview. And they don't GAF if their own people are harmed because they think everyone is spoiled and that the world is far too overpopulated. That's the problem. There is nobody to run these visa (and any "Equity") programs in good faith. They are all scams against the US Citizens. Even if the corporations, like Tesla, ask for more workers' visas, the whole program is so rotten that you can be sure that they will screw everyone involved. The US Federal government has way too much power and compromising with something that should be a good thing in theory is stupid because we already know what they have done. We must "drain the swamp" by taking all discretion away from these unelected bureaucrats. Maybe Trump can come up with a reasonable compromise for his administration and just hope that collectively, Elon, Vivek and The Donald can slash deep state power, taxes, burdensome regulations and so forth so that in 1 year or 2 nobody will even think about workers' visas and whatever compromise Trump comes up with. But Vivek and Elon are acting like Dunning Kruger ignoramuses. They are unaware of their own cognitive deficits. They are very proud of themselves for the successes they experienced in Silly Con Valley. It's a well known disease. Trust me on that. But to summarize my response to your comment on India, it's a bigger (English speaking) pool. They have no "national" superiority of any kind relative to the USA. Except they have a bigger population and they actually have some pretty good engineering programs. I assume they want to start building their own native jets planes and so forth so actually, the best engineers really don't want to leave India. Elon Musk, you know, I don't want to gratuitously insult the guy, but he's sitting here with a Tesla factory in Communist China and he thought he would get away with building Teslas in California and never have to worry about the labor unions. He's not a realist at all. Vivek also seems to be getting a fat head, but I think Trump is experienced enough to know what I'm talking about here. Trump ran his own airline for a while and I think Trump is the kind of guy that learns from his mistakes. He has dealt with a lot of arrogant architects and engineers in his time and you can be sure of this because it's impossible that he hasn't.

@notcoleman711 If you don't know what the other choices are you know you're at the top. It's your judgment from the outside that makes it (relatively) terrible. What amazes me is all of the talk about India or anywhere else when the worst regimes are Communist regimes and Mexico, which run by so called drug lords. But nobody is here complaining about US-funded factories in Mexico. Weird. And traveling to Mexico, if you choose, you can find all of the worst filth and deprivation you'll find anywhere else. Or you can choose to go to the resorts and pretend it's all OK. Just like the rich Indians do when they walk past the poor people in the streets.
