After the killers with the fraudulent CDL in Florida are in prison for life, the rest get to go home and crap in the streets there.

In my job I circulate among many car repair shops. The men working there speak only Spanish. My guess is that if ICE vans rolled through, most of them would be taken away.

Their heads are on a swivel and their body language is full alert.

Tech companies are still hiring Indians and sending work to India. There is no end unless it becomes painful for companies to do that.

When they become unemployed, they can live far cheaper in India. Males will find it easier to marry a young Indian girl there too.

They aren’t here illegally so efforts shouldn’t be made to force them out. However, i do welcome America First type changes that make the benefits less inviting which cause many H1Bs to choose to go back home. Let’s at least start it that way while we focus on the criminals. The claim is that these are jobs Americans wont or can’t do. When all the snap and other cuts hit later in 2026, Americans are going to need jobs to do or be homeless. Let’s get the timing right on it so that as the illegals leave these jobs, we are transitioning Americans into them so that there is as little gaps or strains on the economy as possible. Americans will do the work when they dont have freebie options.

45% would return to India if job loss forced them to leave the United States.

Beat the rush. Go now so you'll land a job in India before all the other deportees return there.

They talk like this is a problem. I am all for this. We don’t need to import foreign workers.

Go to JOBS.NOW and see how the H1B Pandemic is being inflicted on American workers.

Then there is this possible conundrum.

An Indian H 1B visa holder fearing deportation moves to the large technical community in Alberta.

Alberta leaves Canada and applies for admittance as the 51st state and actually becomes an American territory.

Is the Indian in question still subject to deportation back to India?

Interesting how media forbade its minions to write stories about the American public’s resentment of Indian immigrants until Usha Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy appeared and a political opportunity was noticed - now complaints are being repeated everywhere.

They quote all these percentages of visa holders, but don’t state what the total numbers are those percentages represent.

At the end of the article it states only annually allowed visas.

These are supposedly the numbers:

FWD.us estimates that there are as many as 730,000 H-1B holders within the U.S.,and an additional 550,000 dependents3 (like spouses and children), representing nearly 1.3 million U.S. residents.

Indians working in the US on H-1B or L-1 visas are reconsidering their long-term plans:
<><>there are rising uncertainties.
<><>45% of professionals would return to India if job loss forced them to leave.
<><>26% said they would move to a different country,
<><>29% remain undecided.
<><>Pay cuts and quality-of-life concerns top the list of worries.
<><>About 25% cited lower pay as a deterrent,
<><>24% mentioned a dip in living standards,
<><>13% highlighted cultural or family adjustments
<><>10% feared fewer job opportunities.
<><>asked if they would apply for a U.S. work visa again, only 35% said yes.
<><>The majority (65%) were either unsure (27%) or negative (38%),
<><>indicating a growing shift in perception about the benefits of American work visas.

Personal experiences feed this sentiment. Over one-third of respondents (35%) said they or someone they knew had to leave the United States following a job loss, often facing deportation risks

With AI advancing, these tech people should have lots of other things to worry about. They might not have jobs when they get home, either. But US jobs should go to US citizens. Pack your bags, friends.
