Unfortunately, this is how people behave when nations start to fall.
America was abundant and long welcomed everyone without blaming anyone. Now people, including white Americans are hurting.
America borrowed against the privilege of owning the world’s money- and people now blame the Indian engineer.
What makes this especially sad is that Americans, by and large, are among the most open, welcoming and accommodating people anywhere. That culture of meritocracy and opportunity helped make America exceptional.
The dollar still makes up 57% of global FX reserves. U.S. debt held by the public is 101% of GDP. The 2026 deficit: $1.9T.
Asian Indians are only ~1.6% of America and pay 6% of the taxes.
That explains the visibility. It does not establish causality.
Debate H-1B. Fix abuse. Protect workers.
But don’t turn legitimate economic anxiety into resentment against people who came here believing in the same American promise. That is scapegoating!
Don’t confuse the immigrant competing inside the machine - most of them born here - with the machine that made everyone feel scarce and poorer.

@BertJedi@JzSports3@kaylee_ashlynn@grok explain the real problem with national debt, and the impact of mass remigration of the whole Indian-origin population in US
@PalmerLuckey@paulg H-1B visa holders make up approximately 0.4% to 0.5% of the total U.S. labor force. 65% of them are in tech jobs, and often handle a lot of dirty laundry that needs not just tech expertise but perseverance and pain. You are just dog whistling!
