@ria :
Americans can't leave Isl w/o protection, Also, Americans mostly do not search for better livelihoods outside of their own country, so they are definitely here for work purpose, and will leave as soon as they get a chance, unlike Indians, who always prefer to move and live abroad !
From the Article : "1.75 million Indians"
