Why, oh why, would someone send me their resume?

This morning, I got an e-mail from someone over in India that read:
Hello,
My name is G. and I am working in Coimbatore, India as a Systems Engineer. I have 2 years and 6 months experience in Systems Administration, Networking and Systems Hardware. I am currently doing my CCNA. Iam looking for a change in my career from my current workplace and I do not have any location preference.
So iam forwarding me resume to your desk. I you find my Resume upto your expectaions please feel free to mail me. I will be waiting for your reply.
Thanking you,
G.

What makes this idiot think I have a job to give him? Did he not look at MY resume? Has he not read my blog?
Granted, he was, at least, asking to move, I assume to this country, but c’mon! I mean, I think I make my feelings pretty clear about importing workers when there are plenty qualified workers here that need jobs. I’m also not real hot on spammers, of any kind. See, it’s pretty obvious to me that this guy spammed my Inbox with his resume. Like I mentioned right off, if he’d read my website, he’d have known my position and my status as an employer.

Okay, I’m done ranting now.
