I'm not the first person to notice this. But amazing how much anti-Indian hate there is on this site, typified by claims they are somehow monopolizing the tech industry, discriminating against whites, etc. It's very similar to traditional anti-Semitic tropes, and is equally baseless. I've dealt extensively with Indians in academia, and some in tech (my parents are both tech industry veterans) and there is no real evidence to support these claims. They - like traditional anti-Semitism, are also based on a flawed zero-sum view of the economy that underlies a lot of ethno-nationalism and bigotry, as well as a lot of awful far-left ideology: https://t.co/4vjpN0oVVw

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out.

He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations.

Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs.

If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose.

the rant is always about cancelling "work visas", never about visas/greencards based on family, diversity etc.

"work" visas/greencards are a minority vis-a-vis total legal immigration, about 10-15% or so

"work" visas overwhelmingly go to those with higher education, salary, low welfare, low crime.

while other visas/greencards go to those who are paid way lower, overwhelmingly use welfare and commit crimes at highe rate

so what visa/greencard type should actually be cancelled to "avoid becoming another 3rd world country" ?

[ShadesOfBlueAndRed @ShadesOfBlueAn1]

"solely due to our country of birth"

yep

[ShadesOfBlueAndRed @ShadesOfBlueAn1]

Non-citizen "Indian" households use welfare at half U.S. born rate

@learning_pt Unfortunately Indians have a huge green card backlog. Do you expect them not to build wealth and buy homes while stuck in the green card backlog for 20 years?

why are those hiring managers simply not firing them then? are they just cry babies?

or is this just made up ragebait?

[ShadesOfBlueAndRed @ShadesOfBlueAn1]

Counter point: If this is purely labor arbitrage, and *not* talent, why are these tech companies not moving jobs to Pakistan, Indonesia, Niger, Sudan, Czech etc?

[ShadesOfBlueAndRed @ShadesOfBlueAn1]

Proposed immigration policy. Agree?

Affordability is the No. 1 issue Americans want solved.

Looks like we haven’t learned our lesson from NZ series loss. The gap between our spinners and opposition spinners reduces on pitches like this. We need to go back to classic Indian pitches, like the ones in 2016-17 season when Virat was captain and Eng and NZ toured. #INDvSA

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

This guy’s trying to mislead but wants an answer, so here it is:

There were 4 versions of the bill he describes. I sponsored the one that had no net effect on immigration, but prioritized skilled workers over non-skilled workers, instead of prioritizing one country over another.

Amazon did *not* hire 10,000 H1B in 2025.

About 70% of Amazon's approvals are for continuing employment (not new hires). This includes H1B renewals, extensions, transfers etc, and is due to per-country caps causing backlog in the employment greencard process.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

One of the unintended consequences of Trump's $100K fee on H-1B visas is that companies will outsource the work outside of the U.S. Remote workers won't pay U.S. income taxes or spend their earnings in ways that benefit local landlords or other U.S. businesses and their workers.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Good for them! Carry right on with the banning of skilled immigration...

[Esther Crawford ✨ @esthercrawford]

Twitter/X survived because of H-1B engineers, mostly from India & China. They stayed after the acquisition, worked long hours and solved brutally complex problems alongside American colleagues. When posting anti-immigrant takes, remember: they’re the reason you can tweet at all.
