It is certainly true that Indians have figured out how to beat the immigration system and get to America in huge numbers, but they are doing it legally, and generally contribute.

There are worse things. I would address the visa issue, but focus on illegal immigration, or never ending temporary protected statuses, that stuff. Not that anyone asked me.


You are showing your age here.

I would argue the abuse of H1-B is as damaging as illegal immigration.

These people are taking jobs away from students just graduating college and are used to keep wages low below to rise in inflation.

Illegal immigration is way worse than legal. Or gaming the system even. Better to game a system than break it.

The $100k per year H1-B fee was actually the perfect solution... which is why the Trump admin backed away from it because they've completely sold out to the multinational corporations.

But with $100k per year you are still getting the best and brightest but filtering out all the people brought over here to steal American jobs by paying them lower wages and using them as slave labor to work long hours without compensating bcs they need their jobs to stay in the country.

Did they back away or did a judge rule it was illegal?

H1bs directly negatively impacted my ability to find employment when I graduated grad school with 6 figures of debt I needed to pay off.

The Walgreens and CVS's had imported and given H1bs to hundreds of Pharmacists from India, Pakistan, the Phillipines, etc to fill the talent deficit they were having when I first entered school.

Part of the motivation to go to Pharmacy school was the huge sign-on bonuses that were being offered due to the lack of candidates when I first entered school... by the time I graduated 4 years later the job market was over-saturated because the big companies had abused the H1b system.

I graduated over a decade ago now and wages didnt really go up to match the inflation we saw during COVID because these companies abuse the H1b system.

You might be right. I cant remember exactly why the $100k fee went away...

Most judges are morons with little life experience and have way more power than they should.

I guess my bottom line is the laws are broken because they are written to benefit the richest Americans at the expense of the middle class and **** the contributions of H1b Indians... they are thieves. If they were on average more talented than legacy American like myself, their country wouldnt be the giant gaping ****hole it is today. There is a reason no one want to live in India... I have a hard time even getting people to travel over there for a few weeks to audit facilities before inspections.

The H1-B Visa is constantly abused. I suspect there are < 100 legitimate H1-Bs. It should cost $1M to sponsor one - if they're worth it should not be a problem.

We already have too many of them here. They need to stop letting Indians/Pakis come to the west.

Reputation of Frisco schools draws families from India in droves

Even from thousands of miles away, young parents in India know Frisco is the place to raise a family.

They share with each other how the city has great schools, large homes and soon, a new Hindu temple.

"It is like any good place," said Indira Meduri, who eight years ago bought a house sight unseen because of Frisco's glowing reputation in India. "First, one or two of your friends get there, and then they spread the word. … People in India have found out that this is a vibrant place to be.

We can thank Rick Perry and Governer Abbot for poaching companies from other states and countries for the past 25 years.
Texas has been one of the fasting growing states for many years, and change is something that comes with growth.

Inside the Loop or the Exurbs. This is where you have to live in todays times if you want the old school 20th century Texas experience.

Plano/Frisco will be the new Sugarland/Missouri City.

This enrages me beyond comprehension... I have ancestors that came to America from Alsace-Lorraine.

Boomer ****heads and Trump only care about expanding Israel and do nothing to stop native European lands from being lost.
