Indian-American Impact Fund celebrates contributions of H-1B visa holders to counter racist attacks
The Times of India ^ | January 8, 2025 | Ishani Duttagupta

Several Indian-American organisations are stepping up to jointly address the recent spate of attacks against Indian immigrants and professionals on social media platforms. “We are working closely with Indian American organisations and other immigrant-serving groups to address this alarming trend.

Hateful rhetoric and division will inevitably surface again, so we’re coordinating efforts to protect our communities and change the broader narrative around immigrants. Our goal is to move beyond demonisation and ensure immigrants are celebrated for their contributions, resilience, and role in shaping America,” Chintan Patel, executive director, Indian American Impact Fund, a political organisation representing Indian and South Asian American communities, told the Times of India.

The vitriolic attacks and rhetoric on social media platforms targeting Indian Americans and Indian professionals on H-1B work visas, that spread over the year-end holiday season; by what is seen as a section of the make American great again (MAGA) supporters of US President Elect Donald Trump; have left many in the community deeply alarmed and questioning their safety and status.“Indian American Impact is fully committed to protecting our communities and strengthening solidarity with other immigrant groups. Through robust policy advocacy and reshaping public narratives, we aim to celebrate the contributions and resilience of H-1B holders and all immigrants,” Patel said.

Furthermore, the Indians are partnering with the Democrats to pass laws where the federal government persecutes native-born Americans of all colors as they are replaced by colonization level, invasive immigration for the benefit of huge multinational corporations. Here is the money quote.

"Unsurprisingly, Republican leaders have remained silent because so many MAGA Republicans rose to power by demonising immigrants and embracing their supporters’ push for a White ethno-nationalist vision. Meanwhile, Democrats recognise diversity as America’s greatest strength and have passed hate crime legislation at state and federal levels to protect vulnerable communities,” Patel said. He added that leaders from all parties were being urged to reject racism and take tangible action to ensure that immigrant communities in America are safe and valued."

Indian-Americans ? Arent most of those on reservations? Why would they even need H1-Bs?

Your sad attempt at humor reflects a low intellect. Sod off.

so Indians, and any other ‘minority’ can organize along racial / ethnic lines for the benefit of their own people, but white people are strictly forbidden from doing so.

H1-B workers have not contributed anything of value. The work product is what you pay for, sub-standard.

FR thread: Indians slam MAGA ‘war’ over H-1B skilled-worker visas as ‘racist’

These “Me-First” foreigners have no standing to claim “racism.

They’re exploiting our twisted “woke” system.They connive-—figuring that as long as they’re seen as “minorities,’ American corporations won’t dare question their actions.

The only media talking about this massive Apple scam and huge blemish on Silicon Valley, is the India press.

Greatandhra: Telugu employees working at Apple in the Bay Area have reportedly lost their jobs. Sources suggest that around 185 employees were affected. But why were only Telugus targeted? Well, this is not something related to cost-cutting layoffs.

Some Telugu associations in the USA reportedly misused Apple’s Matching Grants program. These organizations asked Telugu employees at Apple to donate to their nonprofit groups. Apple, as part of its corporate social responsibility, matched the donations made by employees to the same nonprofit organizations.

However, investigations revealed that the funds donated by employees were being funneled back to themselves, and the entire scheme was designed to deceive Apple and extract money through matching grants for organizing bogus biannual events.

Apple’s Finance Department noticed irregularities and reported the matter to the IRS. Upon investigation, the IRS uncovered the fraudulent activities.

Following this, Apple reportedly asked the employees involved to either resign.........more on revolvernews.com

“diversity as America’s greatest strength”

Why is diversity a strength only for Western countries?

It’s purely a financial issue for American citizens. That they’re resorting to the “racism” canard means they recognize it is a purely financial issue and they can’t argue why it’s better for the American workers.

Jill Biden got the priciest gift from a foreign leader in 2023 — a $20,000 diamond from India
as her husband relaxed rules for H-1B visas that will benefit thousands of Indian tech professionals.

The most sought-after H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise......mostly from India.

A massive foreign worker scandal at Apple.

The company reportedly fired nearly 200 Indian employees after uncovering their involvement in a major scam—stealing charitable contributions.

These are the “best and brightest” workers we’ve been told about, ad nauseam, getting H1B visas

Apple employees — Telegu (Indian) — were fired due to their involvement in a scam.....thievery related to Apple’s matching grants program.

Why doesn’t China import Indian H1-Bs?
Why doesn’t Israel?

All part of the plan to subjugate, impoverished and enslave us Americans.
