In the late 1990s,the answer schemed obvious:Indians.【B3】_____all,Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups.So the German government decided that it would 【B4】_____ Indians to Germany just as America does:by 【B6】_____green cards.Officials created something called the German Green Card and 6 that they would issue 20000 in the first year.【B7】_____,the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come,and perhaps the【B8】_____ would have to be increased.But the program was a failure.A year later【B9】_____half of the 20000 cards had been issued.After a few extensions,the program was【B10】_____.
I told the German official at the time that 1 was sure the【B11】_____would fail.It’s not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy,【B12】_____I understood something about green cards,because I had one(the American 【B13】_____).The German Green Card was misnamed,I argued,【B14】_____it never,under any circumstances,translated into German citizenship.The U.S.green card,by contrast,is an almost【B15】_____ Path to becoming American(after five years and a clean record).The official【B16】_____my objection,saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship.“We need young tech workers”,he said.“That’s what this program is all【B17】_____.”So Germany was asking bright young【B18】_____to leave their country’culture and families,move thousands of miles away,learn a new language and work in a strange land—but without any【B19】_____of ever being part of their new home.Germany was sending a signal,one that was【B20】_____received in India and other countries,and also by Germany’s own immigrant community.
