“Feelings. Nothing more than feelings.” One of my most hated songs.

[Tell It Right]

I don't understand the problem with moving back to India. India has more:

1. Cricket matches that you can attend in person.
2. Women wearing pretty dresses.
3. People doing open defecation (11% of population), often near drinking water sources.

Feeelings! Woe woe woe Feelings!

You forgot the parade of thousands of dead bodies floating down the Ganges river.

I wish the 100K would be an annual fee.

[Steely Tom]

Remember the storm of criticism that flew at PDJT when he referred to certain places as s***hole countries?

Here’s a citizen of India who is afraid to return to India. What does that say about India?

Now cut down on the number of foreign students....or don’t automatically grant them OPT visas. While we have 750,000 H1Bs, we have over 400,000 OPTs. Take the few best and brightest but get rid of all the cheap foreign labor.

The US working class hasn’t had “peace of mind” since all of this immigration started in STEM 30 years ago.

[central_va]

Schadenfreude.

You ALL need to go back.

“Feelings. Nothing more than feelings.” One of my most hated songs.

If you're feeling hate, listen to The Offspring cover of Feelings, you'll feel better.

We have been getting some great news about Indians going back to India but I’ll hold off for awhile to see how it pans out: hopefully we get rid of most of them (I know we are stuck with a bunch because they became actual citizens)
