Limiting H1Bs will help shore up salaries for American tech workers and keep them employed - H1Bs are being used to drive down salaries for US tech workers. And limiting H1Bs will encourage Indian/Chinese engineers to remain in their home countries and put their educations to work helping their economies. India’s prime minister should want well-educated Indians from good Indian universities - educated on India’s dime - to become taxpayers and contributors to India’s economy.
Reminds me of the insistence from the left and other riff raff that immigrants are good for the American economy.
If they’re that good, why don’t they stay home and be good for their own country’s economy?
Went to Olive Garden last night to order take out. While waiting for the order I was amazed to note that practically every family leaving the restaurant after a full sit down meal were Indian. Mother, father and at least two kids. Nicely dressed. Nice cars. It’s amazing they are doing so well here. Didn’t see any Black families. The Whites in the restaurant looked pretty shabby by comparison. The Indians are the new middle and upper class in America. Driving the Beemers and Benzes. And they come from a society that has been historically caste-oriented. We the whites are paupers in our own country. And if you’ve ever talked with any of them you would learn quickly who they believe has the higher IQ. Guess we have corporate America to thank for all of this.
My observation is that many Silicon Valley Indians are far left. Furthermore, many of them are not really receptive to discussing politics.
Many of them tend to think that whatever seems to work in India should also be fine for the USA as well.
To take one example, gun control— many of them have no issue with violating 2A in the name of “gun control.” They have no background on the pros and cons of the issue but they seem to think that they do. India has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the world.
Another example is racism— many of them think that asking a pointed question during a debate is proof of “racism.” Again, many of them seem to have no well developed background in 1A— probably (so I imagine at least) because there is no 1A in India like there is in the USA.
None of this prevents Indians from coming to the USA and getting involved in supporting liberal politicians for election. My observation is that Indian politicians are very aware of politics in the USA and frequently come to the USA to influence elections in favor of liberal views (immigration, free trade, etc). This includes fundraising.
I am aware that Indians tend to dominate in some aspects of some industries such as telephone tech support and IT. So when the Indians come to the USA to influence USA politics, I expect that it is with the active financial support of the owners of Indian IT and support company owners. These are the same guys that don’t pay their workers decent wages in their own country.
(To their credit some of the younger Indians seem at least capable of grasping some of various points being made in the simple issues involved. I support reasoned debate. Alas, I fear that in most cases, actual voting tends to fall along racial and cultural lines.)
There you go making common sense.
