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.

Perhaps she can work for Al Jazeera or Tucker Carlson.

I’m just hoping Laz doesn’t hear that she’s desperate for work.

When are AMERICANS GOING TO GET “DREAMS” and “DUE PROCESS”. The far-left’s judiciary branch is the greatest threat to the American people. If you aren’t an illegal alien in America, YOU’RE SCREWED.

I saw a great meme on Facebook this morning from numbers USA. It said roughly:

“—-Open border types first told us immigrants would only take jobs Americans did not want.

Now open borders types tell us immigrants only want jobs Americans can not do.———

So are there ANY jobs for young native born Americans now???”

So true.

We’ve had enough of Guptas, Patels, etc.

Fix your own frickin’ country and stay there. No need to ruin ours.

I’m trying to determine why we should give a rat’s ass about someone in India who wants to displace some American IT graduate and then bring her whole tribe here to do the same. Last time I looked being an American did not have an obligation to open our country to everyone who wants to bring a little piece of whatever shithole they came from here to the USA.

Example Minnesota: Unfortunately Minnesota is now Somalia west thanks to the turd (my affectionate name for the 44th president) whose promise to “fundamentally change America” apparently meant importing enough third world parasites to destroy everything that made this the greatest country in the world. But since he’s no longer president and his fraudulently elected sock puppet Biden is out pursuing his hobby of groping children perhaps with Trump’s efforts we can reverse this trend. Apparently the Somalian culture’s driving ethos is steal as much as you can either by force or by fraud, lie about everything, and then run your victims’ noses in it.

We’re poisoning and diseducating our youth.

Diseducate = So wrongly teach reading and math that students are intellectually stunted for life.

“‘Cruel joke’: How Indian H-1B dreams are crash-landing after Trump fee hike ... Thousands of young Indians have mapped their adult lives with the aim of moving to the US”

SWEET!

thousands of jobs suddenly opening to USA graduates with STEM degrees! ... thank you, President Trump!!!

[besides, India has always been heavily in the sphere of the Soviets, so no real friend of ours anyway]

And then there is the American graduate whose dreams will now come true. America first.

-----------------------

The poor lady has not lost anything. All she has to do is become the unique, irrepalceable world class talent that the H1B visa program was originally created to recruit and retain.

If she qualifies for that level of talent then paying $100k is a no brainer for a company to bring her in to teh US to fill a critical job position that no American can be found to fill.

Even lower level talent is getting $50K recruitment bonus these day and top teir l AI talent is getting signing bonuses in the multi million dollar levels

in todays world, if you are not worth $100K to bring in, you are not the kind of talent that the H1B program was put in place to fill critical US tech positions that even top tier Americans cannot fill

I can’t tell if I’d hit it. There’s no picture of Meghan.

My dad brought us to the USA from the UK. Apparently, as I’ve only recently learned, I was a baby when he first applied...and was denied - because he didn’t have a 4 year degree, only an apprenticeship in engineering. This was typical in the UK during the 60’s. He was a smart man.

He then did whatever it took to get into a UK university, then attained a B.S. degree “with distinction”. After reapplying, he was finally accepted, almost 16 years later. I became a citizen at 30, 29 years after his original application.

There’s nothing guaranteed about it. He died a few years ago. I’m glad he got to see what fruits were realized for me.

I understand those that want to come here, just don’t assume anything. There’s no “right” to come.

The cruel joke is that Meghna Gupta, with her masters degree and ambition, can’t become successful in India. Fix your own country.
