Indian Americans lean VERY far left on key issues. That changes the immigration debate…

America’s immigration debate usually revolves around the same stuff. Things like how many people are flooding in. What happens to US wages? What does it mean for housing, schools, crime, the border, and the economy? But immigration doesn’t stop being an issue just because somebody got here and feels all cozy now.

Because immigrants build lives here, and many of them become citizens. And citizens vote, donate, organize, run companies, influence institutions, and help decide which policies the country follows next.

So if we’re going to have a serious chat about immigration, then the political beliefs immigrants bring into the country, and the political coalitions they eventually join, matter. A lot.

And that brings us to this very interesting data on Indian Americans… These numbers show us that Indians are very politically engaged, and as a general rule, they’re also very far left.

That’s why these two X posts are getting a lot of attention. The first post lines up Indian Americans with Hispanics and white Americans on some pretty major political and cultural issues, and the differences are worrisome.

On issue after issue, Indian Americans land way farther left than white Americans, and in many cases, the gap is enormous.

Just look at the numbers. Only 11 percent of Indian Americans in the chart said they were Republican or leaned Republican, compared with 45 percent of whites. On reducing immigration, it was 18 percent versus 47 percent.

The differences keep going. A whopping 94 percent of Indian Americans in the chart supported requiring a police permit to buy a gun, compared with 66 percent of whites. On abortion, 72 percent said it should be legal for any reason, compared with 50 percent of whites.

You see the same pattern on other issues too, SNIP>>

This is what JFK’s immigration mission was about.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.

In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.

After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”

we’re not allowed to have our white Christian country back. The globalists won’t allow it. And your grandchildren will not be Christians because you worshipped diversity instead of Christ. Your grandchildren will grow up being taken to mosques in schcool and raised in a see of diversity with buddha and indian false god statues all around them and pervading our society - all because you didn’t want anyone to call you racist. what a wicked generation to throw it all away so communists wouldn’t call you racist and so you could virtue signal.

I've had this conversation with someone else recently. My best friend since I was 4 years old comes from an Indian family. The difference is his parents came over in the 1960s when you had to prove you were likely to never be a burden on society. His dad is a doctor but many others started small businesses. These people tend to be MUCH more Conservative.

What we've gotten in the last 30 years are a lot of Tech H1bs. They are overwhelmingly Leftist. We should not want them because they're stealing jobs from Americans. Because they depress wages for Americans in industries that have a lot of H1bs and because they're Leftists who have no affinity nor support for the US Constitution and for traditional American values.

Its not that all Indians are Leftists. Its that the ones we've gotten in recent years are. Ship them back. Do not want for that reason.

One more reason for a solid and high wall between the church(s) and state in America. We should protect it.

In the final analysis, Americans simply didn’t know what they had. So they gave it away.

Indians are rather argumentative. I’ve experienced it in business. They’ll argue when nothing’s at stake.

Interestingly enough, Bernie Sanders was once very much against open immigration into this country. And it was for the reasons you mentioned above.

But I guess someone at the DNC read the old Bolshevik the riot act. So like the rest of the Democrats, Bernie has abandoned the American worker.

“leaned Republican, compared with 45 percent of whites.”

Credibility destroyed by this one statement.

About 25% of native US citizens identify Republican. 25% Democrat. The overwhelming 50% identify Independent.

My own experience in IL and GA agrees with the number of Independents. Even many MAGA do not identify Republican and go out of their way to attack Republicans and a “big tent”.

As for Indians, I have known many casually...mostly IT workers... and talk politics with them and well as IT and other topics.

Most have a mixture of contradictory thoughts, which is typical of many Americans. Some Indians are Moslem. The ones I’ve worked with seem more inclined to dictatorial structures.

Some Indians are Hindu. Indian Hindus are not all the same. Probably their caste/class groups similarities. More than other Indians, they seem to hold contradictory ideas at the same time...favoring both business and government, both capitalism and socialism...both autocratic and republican and democratic society.

Some Indians are Sikh. They are the most “Republican” in their thinking.... especially on support of Israel. But Hindus also support Israel more than anti-Israel. Many Indian Muslims don’t want to get involved in that issue and take a pass in conversations... But push come to shove they are resigned to have to live with Jews just as they have to live with Hindus and Christians.

No.

I have studied history and mass migration is never a net gain for the country they are migrating to.

Our first mass migration was in the 1840s. The justification was given on two fronts, that we should let the poor suffering refugees in and that it would be cheap labor. Heart and wallet, a perfect way to appeal.

That is how we got "Irish-Americans" the first group that actively labeled themselves something besides just Americans and have maintained that label.

Migration is not a bad thing if it is kept at about 1% of the current population and defused. When it is in waves that flood areas with five to ten percent it is never a positive for the country and often not a positive for the migrants either.

Does not matter where they come from we need to stop with the mass migration. It has not been a gain to any area since year dot.

It will not change now.

“India is a socialist s hole”

India is a mixed economy...just like the US. Some Indian states are more socialist than other Indian states...just like the US.

Aw look! "Stalin is STILL my Dream Date" is here once again trying to shove lies and Communist ideals down our throats.

That was the ideal of the USSR. Not the USA.

There is no wall between church and state in the US. There never has been and there should not be.
