Narendra Modi speaks to Joint Session

Indian PM Addresses Congress

House Speaker Paul Ryan welcomed India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States Capitol on Wednesday, June 8. Prime Minister Modi addressed a Joint Session of Congress, praising the interaction between the United States and India.

“Engagement between our democracies has been visible in the manner in which our thinkers impacted one another and shaped the course of our societies,” said Modi, who went on to describe the influence that the U.S. Constitution, American universities, and the ideas Americans, such as Henry David Thoreau, had on India’s growth as a nation.

Modi also highlighted the influence of Mahatma Gandhi on Martin Luther King Jr.

The last Indian Prime Minister to address a Joint Session of Congress was Manmohan Singh, whose address occurred in 2005.

Modi promoted a strong relationship between the United States and India focused on cooperation, connectivity, respect for global commons, inclusiveness, and adherence to international rules and norms.

“Our relationship is primed for a momentous future,” Modi said. “The constraints of the past are behind us, and foundations of the future are firmly in place.”

Following Modi’s address, Speaker Ryan, in an official statement, said, “It was an honor to host Prime Minister Modi at the Capitol today. He spoke eloquently about the importance of a strong U.S.-India relationship to promote peace and freedom around the globe. Given the importance of fighting poverty, it was encouraging to hear the prime minister’s steadfast commitment to making sure everyone has an opportunity to rise.”

The Trump plan for jobs, is to eliminate the federal minimum wage so corporations can pay people here less than they do in India, and that, he says, will bring the jobs back. Those are the jobs he thinks American citizens should have.

If you think that is a good idea for working people or this country you may have a future in AT&T upper management.

I agree, people should vote based on the facts and not which emotional button a con man may be able to push or what the lie of the day is.

Choosing the next President won't save your job, but putting people in office who have a track record of fighting for jobs here in the US of A will. Let's start putting politicians in office who aren't or won't be bought by corporations.

If any of y'all are dumb enough to believe anything Trump says, the company IS probably better off sending your job overseas.

Looking at the Clinton foundation leads one to believe there will be a lot of influence on Hillary.

Without starting a war here I would suggest everyone look at the presidential candidates and figure out which one wants work to be in the US and not outsourced.

Companies get big tax breaks which increased 6 years ago and continue if they are multi national. Creating a phony link to another country is easy and the current administration has pushed the "One World Plan"

Americans aren't mandated to only work in America. Maybe it's ok to follow the jobs to places like Europe and Asia, and use our American cultural ways to better those parts of the world?

@JyoBHCH-lgd: .. and who exactly is going to stop that from happening? Our politicians who are bought and paid for by American corporations? The same ones who's money being paid to politicians is now considered "free speech"? If we continue down this road I believe we are going to see something much worse than the great depression.

The fix is fairly simple, just stop giving corporations tax breaks for outsourcing work overseas.

I think the OP hit the nail on the head. They are about to fill thousands of open jobs hiring low paid managers with either little working experience or filling the positions with workers brought in from India. At the same time they eliminating jobs, especially those existing employees fitting in the category above. This company is a disgrace and is complicit in handing over American jobs to an imported workforce. Time to change up the executive floor, these leaders are playing 'follow the leader' and are all stale.
