Siddharth Jaganath wanted to return to India after earning his master’s degree at Texas’ Southern Methodist University. Instead, he built a new life in the U.S. over a decade, becoming a manager at a communications technology company and starting a family in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
“You start growing your roots and eventually end up staying here,” the 37-year-old said.
His path is an increasingly common one: Immigrants from China and India, many with student or work visas, have overtaken Mexicans as the largest groups coming into the U.S., according to U.S. Census Bureau research released in May. The shift has been building for more than a decade and experts say it’s bringing more highly skilled immigrants here. And some Republican presidential candidates have proposed a heavier focus on employment-based migration, which could accelerate traditionally slow changes to the country’s ever-evolving face of immigration. …

Legal vs. Illegal - At some point it doesn’t matter. Either way, we lose our culture. Immigration becomes conquest. Just ask the Navajos.
When has that happened via purely legal immigration?
Many asian countries don't even allow immigration from the west. You can live there on a visa perhaps, but you can never become an immigrant or citizen.
politicians are owned by foreign interests and they sold out America and Americans . they invited an invasion
Yes I have no doubt that many (if not most) politicians are on foreign payrolls. Foreigners have figured out how to make America do their bidding. It's pretty easy actually.
They want to see America as a colony of either India or China, depending if they are indian or chinese. They want to see a bright future for their friends and family back home.
I could be terminated if I were to name my corporation. Not Facebook. It is a fortune 100 electronics corp.
As Donald says ...the Mexicans are cunning.
I maintain the “escalating” numbers are meant to scare our stupid pols into submission.
Pols kneel in obeisance to voting blocs and pressure groups.
I would say all of the “naturalized” Asians I work with are flaming liberals.
Not really.
You are closer to the truth on this thread.
Re”No, we don’t - keep it legal. Legal immigration is controlled and limited, and legal immigrants want to assimilate. T”
Unfortunately this has not true of legal immigration for a long time.
Our refugee program (legal) is run by the UN.
All those ‘free trade’ agreements over ride US immigration policy and mandate x number of guest workers, etc, with no consideration given to the employment situation. This immigration is legal and under the control of the WTO.
Most immigrants no longer come her to partake of our traditional culture but to benefit from our big government freebies and attempt to change our culture to theirs, i.e. the one they want to escape from.
Good to see some others see the truth. Politicians are owned by foreign interests. Notice that none of the politicians even speak out against Mexico or China as Trump is the only one speaking out against China, Mexico, illegals. None of the others running even say the word “deport”. etc. and many other examples.
Yet many even on this site still support politicians over Trump and bash Trump unfairly too.
“The USA allows more immigrants legally than all other countries combined. and that’s not counting illegals. and they all vote for socialism and democrats.

Immigrants , from Mexico Asia etc. all vote for democrats and socialism which are the same thing. It’s a fact .
So you want to live in a totally socialist country where you have no right to even own property? yes because that is what you are shilling for.
Socialism hurts everyone and benefits only the dictator at the top as in Chavez, STalin , Pol Pot , Castro.
You are a moron.
Asian countries like Japan don’t even allow immigration but why do we have to you idiot?
