Thousands of young Indians have mapped their adult lives with the aim of moving to the US, plans that now lie in tatters.
Meghna Gupta* had planned it all – a master’s degree by 23, a few years of working in India, and then a move to the United States before she turned 30 to eventually settle there.
So, she clocked countless hours at the Hyderabad office of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT firm and a driver of the country’s emergence as the global outsourcing powerhouse in the sector. She waited to get to the promotion that would mean a stint on California’s West Coast.

And then there is the American graduate whose dreams will now come true. America first.
Meghna Gupta* had planned it all – a few years working in India, and then a move to settle in the US.......and bringing her entire extended family over to get US freebies.....all if them sucking off the backs of US taxpayers.

And spawn a bunch of anchor babies while she’s here, too.
I made quite a good living fixing South work created by these H1B Visa holders.
