H1B Girl - Stuck in GC Backlog

[Sam Peak 🇺🇸💡 @SpeakSamuel]

@MarkSKrikorian Dwarkesh should be one of the select few that you’d like. He’s the most talented interviewer and commentator on AI issues. Watch this clip. https://t.co/3pJQPAKzQw

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

“Why are elites more pro-immigration?”

Because you meet people like Dwarkesh. You realize how stupid accidents of birth are in determining where talented people should be allowed to live.

It’s unthinkable to elites how much stake proles put in superficial traits.

[James Blunt @JBlunt1018]

Reading Dwarkesh’s story makes my blood boil.

He came to America as a child. Grew up here. Went to school here. Spoke like every other American kid. Dreamed like every other American kid.

Yet at 21, the country he called home was prepared to tell him: “Thanks for playing. Back to India.”

Not because he broke the law. Not because his family cut corners. Not because they entered illegally. They did everything exactly the way the government asked them to.

For years.

The cruelty is that neither party seemed interested in fixing it.

The Biden administration could have provided relief for aging-out dependents while they waited in endless green card backlogs. At minimum, work authorization and protection from falling off a legal cliff after spending their entire childhood in America.

Instead, thousands of these kids were left in limbo.

The Trump administration hasn’t been much better. More paperwork. More biometrics. More bureaucracy. More delays. People literally running out of status while waiting for the government to process forms the government itself required.

Somewhere tonight there’s another kid just like Dwarkesh sitting in a bedroom wondering whether their future depends on a lottery ticket, a processing delay, or a bureaucratic technicality.

That’s insanity.

America spends billions trying to attract talent from around the world, then turns around and tells the children who grew up here legally that they might have to leave the only country they’ve ever known.

There are thousands of future founders, engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs trapped in that pipeline right now.

We only know Dwarkesh’s name because he made it through. We have no idea how many others we lost along the way.

[Sam Peak 🇺🇸💡 @SpeakSamuel]

We almost lost Dwarkesh Patel, one of the greatest journalists in AI policy—because he'd age out of his visa status. Roughly 250k kids in the US are at risk of self deporting once they turn 21. @ImproveTheDream drafted bipartisan legislation to fix this. https://t.co/XCRbyGAl1P

Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock”

But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea.
So we did.

In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

@priyaee_ At this rate of lying, even Fishback will try to slap his 50% ‘sin tax’ on your engagement earnings.

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

@priyaee_ Lmao still stuck in the 30K range. Please find something more dignified and profitable than hating your own skin for the lowest internet racists

[Deedy @deedydas]

– O-1B is mostly OnlyFans girls
– Minnesota is taken over by Somalis
– 500k Venezuelans trying to cross the border last 2yrs
– 500k green cards a year from chain migration on family visas
– 1M illegal immigrants a year

America: "Yep, I see the problem. It's the 85k H-1Bs."

[Meru @MeruOnX]

The percentage of Indians taking welfare in the U.S. is so low that they aren’t even on the list. But MAGA right-wing racists will always target them. Why? Like I always say..jealousy!

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

So the casual racism against Indians as “takers” or “burdens” is not just ugly, it’s false. Indians are net contributors wherever they go. Data released by President Trump @realDonaldTrump shows Indian immigrants don’t even feature among top welfare recipients in America. As I never tire of saying: Indians are a blessing to the nations they live in, and the numbers prove it.

Indians contribute more than they consume, pay the highest taxes, and build economies rather than drain them. No handouts, no freeloading.

The pattern repeats globally. In Germany, Indians earn the highest average wages - €5,400 a month - well above native Germans and other foreign nationals. That isn’t accident or privilege; it’s skill, education, discipline and relentless work ethic.

Therefore to the casual racism against Indians by pretentious dimwits : “burdens” don’t top income charts. Remember this - facts don’t care for bigotry, and the data will keep humiliating them.

[Rohit Sharma 🇺🇸🇮🇳 @DcWalaDesi]

.@POTUS shared data on immigrant households receiving assistance. Notice what’s missing? India. Yet Indian immigrants are routinely targeted online. The hate towards Indians isn’t data-driven —it’s rage-bait politics, amplified by bots and bad faith actors.

3 year old Arman died because of Stray Dog bite.

One day Armaan came back crying, family thought he must have fell down. Few days later, he started fearing drinking water. He was scratching his body and hiding under a blanket. Water was dripping from Arman's mouth.

Arman was constantly itching his head. When family checked, there was mark of bite.

They took him to hospital but hospital said they won't be able to save him. Arman died a painful death.

His family has requested to get Stray Dogs removed so that nobody faces it.

I am sure dog lovers and milords will call them Dog Haters.

Woke right --> 😭😭

60% of CS PhDs in the US are not American.
53% of CS Masters grads in the US are not American.
BigTech cos have <15% employees on H-1B.

BigTech hiring isn't necessarily biased against Americans; most Americans just don't study advanced CS!

[Sidharth @Cloudwatch199]

America’s CHILDREN Act is simple justice.

Kids who grew up here, went to our schools, pledged allegiance to our flag, and call this country home — deserve the chance to be Americans.

They are not “foreigners.” They are our classmates, neighbors, co-workers, future innovators.

This bill fixes a cruel loophole that kicks them out when they turn 21.

🇺🇸 I call on ALL Americans — left, right, center — to rally behind this.
Let’s pass the America’s CHILDREN Act and keep faith with our values.

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

Over 250,000 Documented Dreamers are at risk of losing legal status when they turn 21. Our bipartisan bill would fix a broken system and ensure they can stay in their communities.

Proud to join @SenAlexPadilla in reintroducing this important bipartisan legislation.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Great news! A bipartisan bill that deserves to get across the finish line: let people who came here legally as children have a way to stay in the United States permanently. 90-10 issue.

[Improve The Dream @ImproveTheDream]

America's Children Act puts in place a policy most Americans assume already exists:

It allows children of legal immigrants raised and educated here to finally have an opportunity to become Americans and contribute to our country.

Thank you, @RepDeborahRoss, @RepMMM, @SenAlexPadilla, and @SenRandPaul, for leading a bipartisan, bicameral group in reintroducing America's Children Act.

It would allow children of legal immigrants to remain in America and contribute to our country.
