As an Indian-American, I agree with the author. This is the type of respectful discussion I would like to see on H1B visa abuse.
Factual( although some nuance is missed) and no attempt to paint a whole nation as fraudsters, dirty, low IQ etc etc.

"I have no problem if you dislike President Biden. Where I draw the line is when you choose to vocalize it publicly.When our foreign rivals see American citizens criticizing their president, it makes us look weak. So if you have a negative thought about Biden — keep quiet."
I have no problem if you dislike President Trump.
Where I draw the line is when you choose to vocalize it publicly.
When our foreign rivals see American citizens criticizing their president, it makes us look weak.
So if you have a negative thought about Trump — keep quiet.
@realVatsalPatel@TrustScore_1 People on work visas can buy homes or property in a lot of countries, not only in USA. Even in India, citizens of other countries (with a few exceptions like Pakistan etc) on work visas can buy property.
@Jai_Gee83@TrustScore_1 Have you asked the question to American expats in other countries why they buy property in those countries even when they are not citizens there?
@mediocrates_1@TrustScore_1 Have you asked that question to American expats in other countries? They do the exact same thing, but idiots like you will never realize that
@AwokenCanadian1@COACHnFINGER It is called a mistake. Nothing to do with race. I had the same issue with an American woman who claimed the seat I was sitting on was hers. The flight attendant came and checked both of our boarding passes. Turns out she was wrong.
My taxi driver tonight, Gurvinder Singh, was at the World Trade Center on the morning of 9/11.
For the next 40 days, he gave hundreds of rides to any New Yorker who needed, and refused all payment.
He showed me the letter he got from Mayor Giuliani thanking him for his service to our city.
Gurvinder emigrated from India 35 years ago and encourages all his riders to fly American flags.
He asked that I share this message on the eve of 9/11: "love all people, respect all people. God bless you all and god bless America!" 🇺🇸
Here’s a video of a Dutch couple 🇳🇱 celebrating getting their U.S. green cards after 5 years on TikTok. 🇺🇸🎉
Nobody is asking, “Why are these foreigners taking opportunities from Americans?” 🤔
But when it’s a Nigerian 🇳🇬 celebrating the same legal immigration milestone, suddenly her nationality becomes the headline and America is being “sold out.” 😂
Same country. Same immigration system. Different reaction.
Sometimes, the bias is really not difficult to see. 🤷🏾♂️
@Cloudwatch199 Where are the elected reps who should be raising their voices against this type of racism. Why are they so quiet? Asians organized " Stop Asian hate" during COVID. Yet we don't see anything remotely close to that for Indians.
@dpheneghan1@drrajeshraina Clearly clueless. Native Americans were not Christians yet Europeans settled here. The legal immigrants today arrive with valid visas and jobs, unlike the Irish or Italian who lived in poverty, did not have decent jobs ("No Irish Need Apply") https://t.co/bxBVz3SU2M
“If Immigration was properly Restricted you would no longer be troubled with Anarchy, Socialism, the Mafia and such kindred evils!”
From 1891, not 2025.
Only then it was anti-German, anti-Polish, anti-Italian, anti-Russian, anti-Irish, even anti-English.
This cartoon "Where the Blame Lies" was published in Judge magazine in 1891 and mocks the “German socialist”, “Russian anarchist", “Polish vagabond”, “Italian brigand”, “English convict", “Irish pauper."
Nativism is nothing new. It's old, boring, and on the losing side of history.
@seriousopher@Mondaysunnyday@ShanchTrak "attitudes online and offline are not doing y’all any favors"
Do you apply that same measuring stick to yourself and other white nationalist or is it reserved for people who don't have the skin color as you? Have you looked at your own racist comments?
@sowelldisciple@HollyGrayle Indians, like most other humans, prefer to move to places where there have the best opportunity to thrive, no different from Americans living in China, Japan or UAE.
Only ~2% of Indians live outside India and ~0.25% of those are in America.
People love these stats only when it suits their narrative.
Let's play this game for Indians:
Net lifetime contribution to economy:
🟢 +$1.6M (largest of any group)
Crime per 100k:
🟢 <88 per 100k (lowest)
IQ:
🟢 Studies are contested unreliable so let's use education as proxy: 75-85% with bachelors and 40% with masters (highest)
Literacy / English proficiency:
🟢~99%
@sowelldisciple@HollyGrayle Oh yes, let's claim all white countries are better than India and have been for eternity without any historical context .
I would have expected a person with the handle of "Sowell Disciple" to be more well read, but then again this is X, where all you need is a keyboard.
