[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the guy that DOGE fired and rehired tweeted that it’s “time to normalize Indian hate” and to get rid of H1Bs.

Bannon and Miller hate the H1B program.

Elon gets bored with things quick, so when he is bored with DOGE we will see what starts happening.[/quote]

How many Indians ( immigrants or children of immigrants ) on this Board? I am one. This is so sickening- “ time to normalize Indian hate”.
If you or your parents are of Indian origin- please stop supporting MAGA. They hate all POC.

Please speak up - because the misrepresentation on this thread is ridiculous.

If you don’t want more Indian immigrants, stop offering them jobs. Period. If you don’t want more Indian ( foreign ) students at your US universities, stop offering them a spot and visa. Period. Don’t legally invite them here and then bash them and hate on them.

My father’s tourist visa was rejected when he went to renew it ( he had a 10 yr one prior)- this happened during 2019. He has not been able to travel here since then and guess what, it is difficult for a family of four to travel to India every year vs 1-2 parents to visit us each summer. When they come here, they spend money on buying American goods for themselves and their loved ones back in India. They are contributing to the economy - not taking a penny from it. My parents refused to apply for Green card and have retired in India. I know dozens of families like mine.

Please stop the hate. What you say and think trickles down to your children. We see this hate at our schools here. If I had a chance to do over- I would have never immigrated here. My life in India would not be easy- but it would just be dealing with different set of issues, vs constant racism here ( overt and subtle). But most people immigrating do so in their twenties and are incapable of thinking long term about possible effects on family. I can’t go back now- because I have been here for 25 years and India is foreign to me now. I do not have an Indian passport ( the US makes u give it up when you become a citizen, and there is no dual citizenship). [/quote]

It doesn't help when JD Vance with an Indian wife was a vocal proponent of rehiring this guy...because of idiotic tweets that he made as a young man of 25.

What's worse, these tweets are from like 6 months ago...these aren't 10 year old tweets they dug up.  Here are his greatest hits:

“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” the account posted in July, according to the Journal’s review of archived posts.
“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account wrote on X in September. 
“Normalize Indian hate,” the account wrote the same month, in reference to a post noting the prevalence of people from India in Silicon Valley.
The user appeared to have a special dislike for Indian software engineers. “99% of Indian H1Bs will be replaced by slightly smarter LLMs, they’re going back don’t worry guys,” the user posted in December, referring to large language models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. [/quote]
