9YearLurker,
The NYSlimes is not a reliable source; it just is propagating a myth of the ‘good immigrant’. Indians come from a country that is socialistic and have no problem taking advantage or our largess. In fact, many families import their parents, put them on SSI, etc. and use them as free baby sitting service.

Unfortunately in the fast-changing world of modern technical commerce, that tends not to be the experience of employerswhich is why it is harder for a 40 or 50+ programmer or engineer to find a new job.
To what does that refer?.

H1Bers on average end up being modern immigrant families. If all our immigrants were like them, this country would be booming.
That is pure Globalist propaganda to justify CHEAP labor. Guest workers from Indian, among others, have no problem over staying their visas and becoming illegal workers who work out of body shops that vouch for them.
In addition many 'guest workers' pay either no or very partial taxes.

Indians have the second lowest level of food stamp use of any immigrant nationality (only those from the UK are lower):

I understand that someone you’ve worked with has chapped your hide by bringing over his parents and accessing some sort of federal mortgage program, but believe me, overall and statistically Indians actually are about as close to a “model minority” immigrant group as you can find. For example, they’ve definitely started and built more large and successful tech firms here than any other immigrant group.

... Expect the trend to continue, as "pure" IT work gets further commoditized and outsourced. ...
This 'trend' is not inevitable; it its the result of the tale that cultural marxism has developed for the 'right. That tale divorced morality and patriotism from economics, and cheer leads for maximum guarterly profits, compassionate amnesty, free movement of goods and natural persons, comparative advantage, jobs americans can't/won't do. There's a reason why Marx was a proponent of 'free trade' (the unfettered movement of capital, freed from all political, national and religious shackles).

With 15% true unemployment, its absolute madness to bring in more workers.
There is another agenda, the 'need for skilled labor' is the cover.

I have a low tolerance for those who would p*ss on american workers and tell them it's raining out. That study was done by taking anyone whose name sounded vaguely Indian and started a business and counting them as an immigrant. It counted many second, third, and fourth generation Indians as new immigrants.

H1-B and B-1 scammers there are workers in America.We have have 300 million people living here.It all comes down to greed and therefore all that matters is paying less of living wage to H1-B and B-1 workers, than they would to Americans. This country has as much greed and corruption as what Mexico has. All they care about is money.I am very glad I will not be around in another 30 years. This country by then will be worse off than what Mexico is.Obama is already bankrupting us deeper into debt each passing day.

You get it. IMHO, it's more than folly; its treason.
Unemployment, unencumbered by the enhancements to counting the civilian labor force (Clinton 1995):

Agreed.
Yup, the marxists are taking us down by giving rapacious greed a 'cover story' [and other things].

The NYTimes is simply quoting US Census data.
To: khelus
Oh, there are so many fourth-generation immigrants from India here!
Anyone in Silicon Valley or in tech generally knows this is very much so. And I’ve said nothing about American workers at all. My only comparisons, other than those from India having higher incomes than our general population, have been with other immigrant groups.
To: 9YearLurker
Cute you ignore invalidation of the study! Fourth generation ‘in theory’
= american not new immigrant.
Boy, Yuri certainly called it!

Funny how I have the same experience. And since I’m female, they lash out very harshly against me (more so than my colleagues) . Sounds like we’re in the same field (I do server side tech support).

I find it strange that more engineering isn’t done in Latin America. I’ve had engineers there for the past decade, and they’re all quite brilliant (and in a nearby time zone also).

India is a socialist country but hardly in the welfare class level — they don’t have enough money for that.. Medical aid is mostly private except for the dirt poor etc.

Excel and VBScript programming huh? Thats not programming..... No, but a large number of our unemployed "IT professionals" have most of their experience in older software like VBScript or NT 4.0 systems administration or NetWare or COBOL. Even for smart people, it gets hard to keep up after age 40 without constant study outside of work hours - and employers are well aware of that. That's why the prospect of an unending supply of smart, cheap, 25-year-old Indians remains so enticing.
