Americans Against H1B & Indians?!? 🤯

As a non Indian, I ask you guys if with the size of your population, you really expect other countries to absorb indians indefinitely? Unlike other countries, it looks like everyone wants to leave India. Rich/Poor, Skilled/Unskilled, etc. Other countries are starting to push back, rightly so.

*As an Indian-American, I slightly disagree.* I hate to break it to you, but Elon just wants cheap foreign labor, and that's the only reason he'll defend H1-B. He's a billionaire, he couldn't care less about the equally-qualified average middle class American. I can totally understand if you disagree with Laura's tweet, but simply calling it "racist" is quite dense. Any country would and should prioritize their own talent before looking outside. With that being said, I also disagree with the other extreme that are completely anti H1-B which is ridiculous. H1-B's were meant to bring top talent to the US, and I think it should be like that (unlike Canada). Props to you for speaking up about consultancies and off-campus!

[@AdityaJape]

elon wants a white suprimist nation and you are not a part of it so best of luck

[@akashbhoite42]

I respectfully disagree to your point about Elon ONLY being concerned about getting “cheap” labor. He is not. It’s not about the money for him if you’ve noticed Elon even a little bit. Elon knows people on H1B have a burning passion to dedicate their lives for their work and the drive they have is unmatched especially by Americans who are not that driven because they haven’t been in the constant survival race that all H1Bs are in. Being in that situation builds character, grit and that’s how innovation happens and Elon cares about innovation and hates mediocrity which most comfortable American represent. No disrespect for anyone here. Just one man’s opinion.

[@bobmorane4926]

Top talents are brought thru the EB-1 Visa. That's the proper channel. There's 3 issues with the H1-B visa. First, the perception of cheap labor that's robbing qualified Americans of their due employment and also the aspect that the employer has high leverage over the H1B employee creating indebted servitude, something that's not possible over Americans. The 3rd issue is the perception that it's easy for Indians to cheat the system and produce fake or fabricated qualifications or paperwork to allow them to get through the screening process. The financial advantages for the employer is obvious and that's why they're willing to look the other way over the qualifications issue

[@metalgearrocketarm]

As an Indian American, most folks from India are not top talent, they are cheaper subservient labor. I do not agree with removing the greencard cap. Very few percentage are IIT grads with PhDs and advanced research and contributions in the field. Most are here to just work and replace US high paying jobs in Big Tech or low paid jobs in Indian IT Consulting for a sponsorship on H1B at a company that will file for their Creen Card ASAP. An immigration policy should benefit the citizens of the country first and foremost. Not the government via tax dollars, not the employers who want cheap subservient labor, not the immigrant who wants to financially benefit themselves. Why should Americans reward cheap employers who hired Indians in IT consulting as "high skilled" who take lower wages and displaced American workers with a green card by removing the cap....this incentivizes this behavior to the detriment of Americans. It is time to send anyone who is not highly skilled...which should be anyone who isn't making at least 200k IMO away from America. If a US company is not willing to pay significantly more than an American to retain you, then you are not the "extraordinary talent" you claim to be.

[@QuaintLife-h5y]

I agree. The huge issue I've observed in almost 99% of the companies with software/IT departments (other departments might also follow the same pattern which I have no idea about, so won't comment on those), has been that these companies are bloated. As in none of those need so many employees. Then why were they all recruited? Because of the power/money/fame hungry authority craving leadership at different levels, which has lead to creating "some" requirement(s) and which are hyped to bring tons of revenue (in reality it might contribute to 0 - 0.1% revenue at the end), and in order to fulfill those requirements, new teams/orgs with tons of employees are needed has been the justification. This has been the cycle. And given that most of the leadership happens to be of Indian descent, sometimes unfortunately they influence non-Indians as well. Btw, I'm an Indian-American, and I'm not stating all these because I'm jealous, insecure whatever. I couldn't resist myself in commenting about the misuse and % of below average talent over the years, which has been defaming the name of India. There has been a significant abuse of H1B, I don't anymore see top-talent, instead only see 80% of below average talent whose job, any average Joe can do with just 2 month training. Most of the jobs, and in general software management has become a facade of networking, smooth-talks and just proving authority. In a day, I'd say only 1% of actual any relevant work is done (it's a deep chain of illusions starting with reqs vs revenue, so I don't want to go there). Also coming to students who do MS here, how many of these universities enforce strict rules that students don't cheat? How many of these actually "strictly" verify the undergraduate performance of the applicants instead of just verifying the "documentation" provided? I did my MS here long back, and even then I know students who paid others to complete their assignments. My intention is not to generalize, but I believe at least 40%-50% of the students who do MS here are the ones that did pretty bad in education in India and have no scope of getting a job there, so decide to land here. Is USA becoming a third-world in terms of brains? So non-Indians can't do the above jobs which only need mostly people skills and some minor tech skills? I value honesty, integrity and some ethics and I have been saddened to see the degradation of those significantly over the past decades. At the end of the day, we are all human beings and should encompass those, if we did, we'd be not seeing these discussions.

[@wrenragenwild5767]

Another reason H1B is in spotlight are particular communities that do just part-time and get jobs through consultancies and practically contribute nothing to the tech industry. We do not want them tarnishing the Indian diaspora! Good to have an open conversation about this.

As an Indian I think, India has failed its people in providing a good quality life that's why a large part of the population wants to escape from India. The world will not be able to give every Indian a job. Sooner or later immigration will stop. The current Indian PM just keeps roaming the world and meeting Indian diaspora as a PR stunt but never asks them to return to India because he knows India has nothing in it for them. Presently, even unskilled Indian workers are going abroad in large numbers because India doesn't have jobs for them, let alone hi-tech jobs. Indian govt. needs to do something about it rather than depending on the foreign countries to give jobs to Indians. It's a shame for India.

I agree with most of what you said But I think removing the Country Cap for Green Card is a very selfish-indian-move. There are a lot more nationalities that come to USA to study and work on H1b and have successfully benefitted the USA. Although they might be lesser as compared to Indians but they exist. Removing the country cap might be good for Indians but not for Rest Of the World as it would increase their wait time.

[@metalgearrocketarm]

Americans are not stupid, we have seen the explosion of Indians in the US at low skilled jobs. Americans have held their tongue for too long, while Indians from India have not assimilated, have contrasting culture, and have replaced Americans in their jobs. Moreover, in Big Tech Indians have taken American jobs because Indian hiring managers want to hire only Indians. No more...

I acknowledge that there are many talented individuals who benefit from the H1B program, and I fully support improving it to ensure that qualified people can enter the U.S. However, I am concerned about cases where individuals, particularly some from India, reportedly use consultancies to falsify their resumes and secure tech jobs. For instance, I know someone who suspiciously changed their experience from engineer to business analyst, which raises doubts about their qualifications compared to other Indian friends I’ve met who are genuinely skilled. Additionally, I don’t want the U.S. to follow Canada’s approach to immigration; my experience visiting Toronto as a tourist was unpleasant, and I worry that removing the country cap could lead to similar cultural shifts in my state. If this happens, I fear becoming displaced as an American, as I deeply value preserving our local culture. To me, understanding social mannerisms and Western culture is just as important as any technical talent. What’s the point of living in a place that no longer reflects its own heritage?
