US entrepreneur and former Dogecoin adviser James Fishback has called for a complete halt on hiring skilled workers from India and other countries, saying American companies should focus on local talent instead.
Fishback, who leads the investment firm Azoria and has previously worked with Elon Musk, said in a post on X that major technology companies are giving jobs to people from India and China while qualified Americans struggle to find opportunities.
US companies “not looking for Americans”
“Here’s the ugly truth: they’re not even looking for Americans. They refuse to interview them. They hide job postings in obscure newspapers to ‘check the box’, and when no one ‘applies’, they import another foreign worker,” said Fishback. He said this denies “qualified American[s] a job, a wage, and the dignity and purpose that come with both.”
Fishback said there are enough skilled workers in the United States, but companies overlook them in favour of cheaper overseas hires through the H-1B visa route.
Calls for a halt to legal immigration
Fishback said even legal skilled immigration was unnecessary.
“I support a complete immigration moratorium. Because what makes America special isn’t who we import, it’s who we already have,” said Fishback. He said millions of US citizens remain “underemployed, underpaid, or overlooked”.
Foreign workers told to build in their own countries
Fishback urged people in India, China and other countries to stay home and contribute to their own economies.
“To those abroad who love freedom and dream of coming here: I don’t blame you. You want what we have. But your countries need you,” said Fishback. “Stay there. Build something worthy there. Make your nation strong, as we make ours great again.”

Bingo. I have observed this personally in over 30 years in IT.
I had dinner with a large group of Indians last week. The only “white” and American. They thought I was liberal so spilled their guts. They know exactly what they are doing, have well thought out strategies to sneak in and stay here. And they DON’T CARE about Americans. They are here for the $$ and “easy life” to esacpe their third world India.
Don’t have sympathy for them. They are not like the old immigrants who came here for a better life and to help build our nation. They are here to take what they can with the least work and then move back when they got a stash of cash large enough to buy their own piece of paradise. BTW, probably half of their US. $$s are being fed directly back to India to support family and even business startups, so that money is permanently lost to the US economy. Even worse, it is building competition to take our business away.
Plus, they are now as big a threat as China - having sided with BRICS and flood our country, taking over local governments and entire critical corporations. They have nukes and a sizable military, and becoming extremely nationalistic - and persecuting Christians.
NO SYMPATHY> H1B MUST END IMMEDIATELY MR. PRESIDENT
I don’t believe all Indians are like the ones you describe; I’ve known too many of them.
But again, if we leave our own door unlocked, we can’t put all the blame for any loss on others.
We - our government and representatives - set us up for this.
Same can be said for all the businesses using illegals
Count Dell in there as well. My BFF’s husband is a senior employee at Dell who has regular run ins with what he calls “the Indian Mafia”.
Ask the people doing the hiring.
That has been the case since the 90s. There was an attorney caught on tape advising an auditorium of company hiring reps on how to circumvent the requirements and hire H1B workers.
That would be....managers.
Who only say what the greedy executives want them to hear.
The Indians know exactly what they’re doing by refusing to hire Americans. It’s theft and conspiracy.
So what’s the motive for all the non-Indians who are also doing it?
Small business people (they do their own hiring) tell me, “If you want anything done you better find a 70 year-old. The young people won’t do anything.”
They can make the H-1Bs work endless hours because they're on the hook for the ability to stay in the US, and Green Card sponsorship.
Come on, this subject has been discussed in FR for YEARS.
I've now been out of work in the Silicon Valley for almost a YEAR. Every single technical interview I've had has been by a first generation Indian immigrant. What the hell does that tell you?!?
I’m not saying it’s ‘right’; I’m saying our own laws allow it.
I discovered through Linked In they had to hire 3 accountants to replace me.

Message: Are American companies “colluding with India?”
This we know: “Indians coming to work in America now, are part of a sub rosa Indian plot to “spread Indian influence and power” through sheer “brute force immigration.”
Self-motivated India simultaneously rids their hellhole country of its excess population, calculatedly easing its own financial and economic burdens by foisting its citizens on the US, with the cooperation of American companies.
Motte and Bailey or changing the subject?
Your original assertion was that companies hired Indians because Americans “are emotionally unstable and lousy workers” (post #9).
Now you’ve moved it to the work ethic of 70-year-olds vs young people.
We had a CEO in a town hall when asked why we do not off shore our CEO and upper management reply, because we are an American company.
We are not people to them, we are just P&L lines.
“ Well duh, of course they don’t want to hire Americans, they would rather hire all manner of subhuman vermin so they can treat them poorly and pay them less.”
Queue up the radical feministas.
