Tighter US immigration rules are making Indian families think twice before arranging marriages with relatives living in the United States, matchmakers and experts say.
Sidhi Sharma, a 19-year-old medical student from Haryana, had hoped to marry an Indian citizen with a high-paying US job but abandoned the idea after recent headlines about President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Thanks for posting this. We are seeing the ridiculous nature of open borders, globalism and how LEGAL immigration needs to be curtailed to a minimum.
Arranged marriages? Caste system? They need to STFO and keep that nonsense in India.
This story isn’t really about India at all. In fact this whole H-1b visa saga is about ending unfair hiring practices discriminating against US workers.
Many decades ago Bill Gates and other tech oligarchs chose to brain drain India. They could have chosen China or the Eastern block.
I just hope everyone gets that.
There aren't any Indian citizens with high-paying Indian jobs she could hope to marry?
Is there a caste issue that should be considered?
/rhetorical questions
Do you need any more proof that these H=1B holders are nothing more than leaches, freeloaders and parasites? Get these Dalit untouchables out of the USA, now! They are all future democrats. Out, out, out.
Arranged marriages = anchor babies.
A 19-year old medical student?
Exactly. More evidence of the H1B and the Indian arranged marriage scam.
“Arranged marriages? Caste system? They need to STFO and keep that nonsense in India.”
As I’ve posted often before, the foreigners, legal and otherwise, need to fit in, and assimilate 100%:
- RENOUNCE THE CULTURES of their sh!thole countries.
- Leave their countries’ flags behind.
- Learn the king’s English. Click-clacking in some bizarre version of English that is unintelligible isn’t good enough.
- It wouldn’t be a bad idea to change their names to become Americans.
Be American, or make Some Other Country Great Again. We did it; so can they.
Psst...here's some advice: 'Stat home and marry an INDIAN CITIZEN in India! Any questions?
I’d let them in if they voted MAGA, but I’ve heard that they almost all vote Democrat, no matter what. Is this correct?
How Indian Americans vote
While H-1B visa holders can’t vote, naturalized Indian American citizens do participate in U.S. elections. Their voting patterns and political leanings vary.
Recent elections have highlighted shifts in the Indian American electorate:
Historically Democratic: For many years, Indian Americans have largely favored the Democratic Party due to its pro-immigration stances.
They will vote for the party that lets them bring their village to our country.
They might even be leeches ... but with enforcement of immigration laws, they're oozing out of America like toxic fluids leaching from a garbage dump.
The Pakistani Muslims in UK who are UK citizens bring in Pakistan marriage partners all the time. My guess is 60%-70% of all UK’s Pakistani citizens marry a wife or husband from Pakistan.
They have bypassing UK immigration laws down to a science. Of course the moron UK parliament never revised these old immigration laws. But open borders Tony Blair was the biggest culprit, the Angela Merkel of the UK
The UK family gets paid very well by the Pakistan family for bringing their Pakistani anchor wife or anchor husband into UK. I read one case where the UK family was sent a 19 year old Paki to do slave labor in his Curry restaurant for 5 years.
Yes, stay in Haryana, Sidhi Sharma. We’ll all be happier.
Half of India would move here if they could. I resent being swamped by overpopulated Asian mega-nations like India, China and Bangladesh. Bangladesh is very densely populated. 1.5 billion people live in India. If just 1% of them move here this is 15 million people. BTW 20% of El Salvadorans live here but the population is 6 million there.

Bangladesh is the eighth-most populated country in the world with almost 2.2% of the world’s population. As per the final results of the 2022 Census of Bangladesh, the country’s population is 169,828,911.[11] Bangladesh has one of the highest population densities in the world and is the only country in the world ranking in the top 10 for both population density and total population.
“Yes, stay in Haryana, Sidhi Sharma. We’ll all be happier.”
Haryana is 75 miles NW of New Delhi. I got curious about where it is.
US industry chose China (bulk), Malaysia, Vietnam, Mexico (probably the best of the lot) for blue collar jobs. That’s where manufacturing, the jobs which created the middle class a long time ago left to. I think that really started in the late 70s already, despite China playing against us in Vietnam. But who cares about that, it’s just money that matters.
I think, the H1B visa phenomena targeting white collar jobs at least originally is a bit more recent, instead of off-shoring, they are “in- shoring,” bringing the cheap labor from abroad in.
Patriotism is something that is waived in peoples faces when they need volunteers to go fight some place, idiots like me believed in that when young. But I believe our government is LITERALLY for sale to the highest bidder for the most part and that includes international corporations and interests. Occasionally you’ll get a Trump or a Perot, but these are the exception and not the norm.

You are not alone.
