I think all of us Bangladeshi would agree that, government should look into this. However our policies should not be driven by our "Feelings" over India (Good or bad). It should be driven by what is good for this country. In our country those businesses who hires Indians or other expats do it out of necessity not to pay less money (Like in USA or UK). Generally most of these expats have skills that are not available in Bangladesh. These industries need these skills to run smoothly. Therefore, hundis should be discouraged and all expats should pay taxes like rest of us. The law has to be business friendly and pro-Bangladesh. Rounding up bunch of Indians will not ultimately help us or our businesses.
Therefore, we should make it easier for those businesses who want to employ SKILLED people. It will be good for our economy. Our government should lobby hard with "Friendly" Indians to make it easy for Bangladeshis to seek employment in India if there skills are needed in certain markets. Putting up barriers and bitter feeling towards a whole community will not help anyone in 21st century. We have to learn how to protect our interest and negotiate with all countries, so we can build win-win partnerships among nations. Since out markets are already flooded with Indian goods and cable TV is dominated by Indian stations, it is only fair to seek same privileges for Bangladeshi people, services and products. That is the key.

Re: [ALOCHONA] Over a million illegal foreign workers in Bangladesh
Alochoks,
-----Original Message-----
Friends
Most of these illegal worker are from the only eternal friendly country HINDU STAAAAN. There were report in the news media few years back that most of the workers of Hidu Staaan are working without any legal permit necessary for a foreigner to work n earn money here. These illegal and eternal freinds are sending back their high wages thru HUNDIS causing economic stress on Bangladesh.
It appears that we have opened our door including private door(money door is very important for a nation) to the Hindusataaanis so that can rob us this way way taking advantage of "Kritaggata of the seat of Power".
We must put the illegal Hindustaaaanis behind the bar(as they do to our citizens who crosses illegally )and also punish severely the local employers who violates the law of the land(as done in other countries eg. USA) by employing and harbouring them.
