Americans, you can kiss your white collar jobs goodbye.
Americans, welcome to brutal no benefits manual labor work at 1/4 to 1/5 of your former salary. The only work that Indians will not do in the USA (they go to the Middle East and Singapore for that)
Way to go, Joe! Now they will have more upper mobility and not have to settle for those menial jobs running 7-Eleven’s all over the country……
“White replacement is a myth.”
All of these young people will see the error of their ways if God allows Slow Joe to get into office. They had better brown up and learn to talk broken English when they carry the freshly printed degrees to apply for a job.
great - more non-US citizens taking US citizens jobs.
If Biden makes it to the inauguration, he will certainly commit suicide shortly thereafter, or have an accident with a staple gun in his garage.
Well, looks like we know what big tech wanted out of the election. Amazing that all the Republicans got to keep their seats, except the President.
Kamala whispered in Biden’s ear to hire more Indians. Makes sense. Biden himself will make sure enough Chinese H1b workers will be added.
