You have a point, but if I had my druthers, I would prefer Indians to Somalis or Pakistanis or Chinese or Mexicans. At least Indians (at least according to polls in India during the Bush years) like the US. Indians I have known seem to have what I call a “middle-class” attitude- work and family and being good citizens. Not so the other groups I mentioned, from my own limited experience living in a neighborhood in which English is often a second language.
Hear hear!
I've been displaced by Indian H1Bs on several occasions. Despite this, I still like them. They 'get' entrepreneurship, they are hard working, decent and have a certain attitude and sense of humor that serves them well.
Silicon Valley would be a far different and poorer place without them and the Vietnamese.
I wasn’t singling out Indians to criticize, just the idea that get better value from foreigners with degrees than our own people. I constantly hear businesses complaining about the quality of graduates, but never hear business saying what they want from them. Do they want lower expectations in terms of salary? For them to speak a second language? Perhaps we could get a better match if business laid down their requirements.

You don’t think the Chinese have a “middle class” attitude-work and family and being good citizens?
You have GOT to be kidding.
