Everyone like free market capitalism until their own ox gets gored.

US currently imports 1.2 million new immigrants EVERY YEAR, most of whom are low skilled, low wealth and low education. That is causing deterioration in the standard of living. Because a huge proportion of these low skilled, low wealth, low educated immigrants depend on gov’t welfare.

The country and it’s economy will benefit by substituting the current low skill/low wealth/low education immigrants with college educated immigrants who can get a job and contribute to the tax base instead of sucking from it.

Reason India is exporting so many college graduates is it graduates more STEM graduates than US, and it’s population is four times bigger than US, and it’s land mass is 1/3 that of US. In other words it is 12 times more crowded than US. And another reason is due to being a British colony for 150 years before independence, almost all Indian college graduates can speak English.

So long as US remains a capitalist country, this situation is going to continue. Money talks and corporations have the money to subsidize politicians in a capitalist country.

Free market capitalism operates without regulatory meddling.

You are describing certain CEO's, bankers, and would-be investors to demand the government to meddling in the free market through immigration laws free market capitalism has no business controlling. If the option is seek cheaper labor, then move out of the country.

Free market capitalism does not promote invasion through government meddling. What you are describing is authoritative corporatism which is the exact opposite of a free market because their biggest weapon is a politician.

We'd benefit even more by replacing them with Americans.

So long as US remains a capitalist country, this situation is going to continue.

A thriving middle class is a precondition for a stable capitalist country - and salary depression through mass immigration is poison to a thriving middle class. American immigration policy must benefit America, not a narrow-minded "free market"-uber-alles ideology.

The crap they graduate ain't worth a damn.

I know; I work with them.

I don’t have a problem with skilled, Indian college graduates applying for residency permits (green cards) and eventually becoming U.S. citizens. As long as they give up their gendercidal ideology (preferring sons over daughters) and their cast system, it’s all good.

What I have a problem with is the corporate scum importing them on the temporary worker VISAs (H1-B, etc.) and paying them on the cheap, screwing the actual American and resident alien STEM graduates.

Die, corporate scum.

And no, that last sentence was not directed at you.

Well, it pays to read the article (sigh). Apparently, green cards ARE the name of the game here. So, I guess corporate scum want cheap Indian labor to be here permanently. I’m fine with 20,000 green cards to these graduates, but not 120,000 green cards (a six-fold increase).

We should dial total immigration back to around 250,000 a year, with country quotas, the way it was before the 1965 immigration bill, IMO.
