　　Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy 62 during the’ 90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology 63. But how? In the late 90s, the answer schemed obvious: Indians. 64 all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would 65 Indians to Germany just as America does: by 66 green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and 67 that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. 68, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the 69 would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later 70 half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was 71.

　　I told the German official at the time that I was sure the 72 would fail. It’s not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, 73 I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American 74). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued, 75 it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost 76 path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official 77 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 78.” So Germany was asking bright young 79 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 80 of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was 81 received in India and other countries, and also by Germany’s own immigrant community.
