[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m third gen Indian. Grandfather immigrated here during the late 1950s on a student visa. In those days, Indian workers were prized and highly sought after by US employers for their incredible work ethic, professionalism, skills, etc. He had planned to return to India after his education however a major corp made a lucrative offer (and he received his green card within months after joining) he could not refuse it. Many of his college buddies did the same, but not all of them. Most all of the Indians who emigrated here prior to the 1980s were extremely talented and hard working. I recall most all being scientists, engineers or medical docs. It’s sad to see the Indian worker, and particularly h1b worker so vilified these days. [/quote] The vilification has happened due to racism and general inability of America and Americans to compete with the rest of the world, in hard STEM fields that requires intelligence and hard work. The poor standard of K-12 education and general inability of parents to teach their kids at home means that many cannot compete in these subjects. The vilification is due to resentment and jealously. [/quote] The vilification is because they are [b]willing to pimp themselves out so cheaply and be manipulated for a visa[/b]. In the US the general term for that is a Scab (look it up- we may have a short history, but we have a long history of workers standing up against "the man"). The Indians undercut all of that. The Indian grandfather in this story, who came over in the 1950s for a lucrative deal, would be shamed by the system today.[/quote] The point you make so well - H1B workers are willing. They are resilient enough to do well with lower wages, they are smart enough to earn new credentials and skills, they are capable enough to live in US, speak the language, and paying expenses and taxes in dollars, they are super intelligent enough to learn new technologies while American students are falling behind in Math every single year. Also, with just 30% of white men going to college, where do you think your future scientists, engineers, doctors are going to come from? LOL. Only thing you can do well MAGA is get your people on OnlyFans. As for your statement [i] "...we have a long history of workers standing up against "the man"..."[/i] - Well, well, well - this seems to be a socialist, anti-fascist statement. Awww....do you want the federal govt back now? You want socialism? Govt subsidies? Medicare, medicaid, social security, food stamps, vaccines and Tylenol? :lol: American workers are being gang-raped by GOP billionaires and CEOs. And MAGA is just their uneducated spot boy in the room where this porn is being made. Carry on. [/quote] You are responding to me but you think I'm MAGA? What's wrong with you? Can't you read the different nuances and tones from all the participants of the thread? It's not MAGA for this. Plenty of people are for this across the political spectrum. PS- I [b]love democratic socialism[/b]! Universal health care? UBI? Yes please! But the flip side is people will feel even more anti-immigration if we do all this because [b]they don't want "them" to benefit from "handouts". [/b]I hope you can learn more about the spectrum of sentiment here in the US and on this very thread. [/quote] No, you don't love democratic socialism. :) There is no spectrum of political sentiment in the US. People voted one way because of hatred and entitlement - and since MAGA deplorable are ill-bred, ill-educated asswipes - they did not know that they themselves would be negatively impacted. Now TACO policies have shoved a red hot poker up the MAGA butt...and everyone is backtracking. [/quote] ?? I didn't vote for Trump??[/quote]
