I should point out that this post is a perfect example of why immigration is necessary. The author clearly needs an Asian to teach him about immigration laws AND do math for him:
The H-1B visa program is subject to an annual cap of 65,000 visas, with an additional 20,000 visas available for applicants holding advanced degrees from U.S. institutions. It would take a thousand years even for 10 million Indians to make their way there!
Such laughable nonsense is exactly why most of you are losing jobs to immigrants. But I guess it’s easier being a racist than to admit you’re a fool.
The author clearly does not understand or understands and deliberately misrepresents how the immigration system works:
1. There is no automatic green card after the H1B. Your employer has to sponsor you and many don’t because it’s costly and makes you a free agent.
2. Just because you get approved for a green card doesn’t mean you get one. There are country quotas. An Indian will have to wait for decades as this point to get an employment based green card.
3. Only once you get the green card does your clock to citizenship start. And only as a citizen can you bring in your parents (not your siblings).
I have visited and lived in other countries; no other country allows millions to enter legally every year. Disregard the recent multi-million influx, 2 million a year is common.
The only question is: How does this benefit citizens?
The people that organize this number do not care about the new arrivals or the current citizens.
Lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man!
You are either unaware of how much immigrants contribute to the American economy or you’re so full of yourself that you think only “citizens” (and we both know what you’re implying with that term) are entitled to live and work in the United States. Deeply ironic considering the history of continent.
You’re neglecting any variables in addition to the H1-B count. The author clearly points out the effect of chain migration through family reunification laws. Additionally, as we see in Canada, Indians in enough numbers will seek political power and work to change the laws to benefit themselves as they are a much more nepotistic people than Westerners.
Sadly, too many view the Country as a bank not a home. We must continue to sacrifice to ensure the great experiment succeeds. Too many manipulate information and laws only for their own purposes, not for the benefit of “We the People”.
This takes away from their home country. Those same most productive people could be the means of dramatic change. But, they exert their efforts away from their birth home.
The white man only wants POC as long as they can be subjugated and controlled. Why are Republicans dismantling DEI, criminalising the teaching of critical race and black history, and trying to put a stop to immigration? They don’t want labour reforms, better regulation, better healthcare or education. No, instead they’d rather blame all of their problems on minorities and immigrants. What a silly bunch of people.
I agree with this sentiment but I think it understates the amount of just straight-up nativist bigotry that a good chunk of Americans have. This article is a great example of that.
Personally, I think immigration is a net good for the country because the immigrants that make it here are some of the most productive, entrepreneurial, and highly motivated people in America and that the sort of people who make this country great.
I worked for an East Indian in government for several years. Until my position was eliminated under the guise of "budget cuts". I got "the axe" because I did not fit the mold. My style was very American, and I projected that onto my staff of fourteen employees. Our philosophy was to get the job done and create an enjoyable work environment. And we were successful.
However, the East Indian came aboard as a political appointment and immediately the worm turned. I wasn't "serious" enough; too argumentative. The Alaska style of granting employees leave time for hunting and fishing was foreign (pun intended). Little problems were magnified because major problems never occurred. My managerial successes were confiscated, and the normal minor problems were cause to place blame. (Example: the mail boy sorts thousands of pieces in a given period of time but mis-sorts a couple of letters and all hell breaks loose requiring a plethora of memoranda and meetings of explanation).
Finding fault and harassment. Never solving problems. Intelligent but unable to manage employees and solve problems. Anecdotal information tells me this is typical behavior.
As for Elon, it becomes a matter of eXpectations. We will all watch this play out carefully. It will become the Good, the Bad or very Ugly for the Trumpster.
This is so retarded Matt. Lol you assume all 1.5b ppl are even academically capable of coming on an h1b which means you don’t actually know how the visa works. Dumb white man telling the world how to operate and be without understanding his own visa system
I've worked 37 years in IT, the last 30 with many H1B people. It is emphatically false that you get a better quality product from H1B foreign professionals.
Same, managed global teams all over the world. It is false you get a better product. I have worked with some amazing talent all over the world, and also forced to layoff top talent for lesser skilled, lesser paid over and over again. It comprises the products, customer experience, disrupts lives, and so forth. Also, it deprives India of deploying their talent to make their country better. It insults my Great Grandfather, his, and his who fought and died for this country. It's not right that that is just given away to people that have not served, paid taxes for generations, and have little understanding about the generational sacrifices that have already been made. This is one of the biggest wealth and life transfer scams in history.
We Americans had better teach our young adult children to start producing American babies so we won't need immigrants to fill the gaps. Maybe we need a "Make American Babies, Not Foreign Wars 2025" viral t-shirt?
Americans are not making babies for the same reason that many animals won't breed in the stressful captivity of a low-budget zoo. People make babies when they are happy, find a mate, and see a future. Importing replacement workers to drive down wages and increase rents and housing costs just puts more pressure on Americans, causing them NOT to get married and have babies. Americans, unlike Indians, don't want to deliver babies in cardboard shacks next to a sewage-filled stagnant creek, with thousands of others withing shouting distance.
Yes, and let's not forget that testosterone levels in males have dropped significantly. Until the woke culture and DEI initiatives are removed from society, there will be very few new white babies.
The stuff you mentioned are legitimate problems for sure, but have you met the average White woman? If you haven’t paid attention most White women are retarded libtards who are made even more Delusional because they love and are addicted to Instagram. Having kids is the furthest from their minds.
Yes, you are absolutely right. Many people see our current state as captivity in a stressful zoo. I reckon that's another thing we have to change. We don't have to give in to that intentional delusion. We can see ourselves as free, and (quietly) say no to the rules, disregard the powers that be. We have to take responsibility for ourselves and not rely on "experts" or the government to take care of us or solve our problems. It's a hard concept at first, but it makes sense eventually. That doesn't mean we don't have to follow laws and sensible regulations, though. Order is necessary in society. So, it is possible to feel happy and see a future even in the world today. Those people who can, should have American babies! I think I'll make that my theme for 2025.
Exactly! This is why when my wife and I retired from the Marines, we moved to the country, built a farm, got out of debt and started having a bunch of babies (5 currently)… only God knows if there are more on the way ;)! Beyond blessed.
Precisely! K selected vs R selected. We are not meant to live and thrive amongst these people, and certainly not to out compete them in a breeding competition.
Why are USA issuing H1b visas ? Unless there is shortage of manpower to fill those jobs ? My younger brother was fail safe computer design engineer, got offered job in USA back in 80’s . At present he is ceo of an international tech firm . Both his daughters are in professional jobs and so are their husbands.
I visited USA back in 2004 , stayed there for a month . All Indians I came across were either running businesses or in professional jobs . My sister in law tried to persuade me to move to USA , which I said I will think about it . ( from what I had seen i preferred to stay in uk )
I am sure some companies misuse H1b visa system but why blame Indians ? Shouldn’t the companies be held responsible ?
Every year in India there is job fare in India by all top universities and USA companies recruit students from there .
So before blaming Indians who will quite happily accept a good opportunity, look into system of issuing H1b visa and companies who misuse it .
At least those Indians are not entering illegally into USA .
If you people were truly exceptional then you'd be getting an O1 visa which has no yearly cap, but deep down you know that you're not hence you bitch and moan about h1b visas. There are more competent people in south America that get o1 visas than you.
You know that h1b visa are the best way for company to lowball white collar jobs but you don't care, you get to leave that shithole country of yours and destroy other countries with your incompetence.
There are 85000 H1B visas issued each year. For 100 million Indians to move to the US, assuming all 85000 visas go to Indians every year, it will take 1200 years.
I heard the phrase, “America First” somewhere. Yes, I’m sure of it. That sounds like a great platform from which to run for president. Someone who ran on that platform just might get elected.
Now we need to change it to AMERICANS first. The tech-bro billionaires just think "America" is a free trade zone where they can buy politicians and import cheap labor to maximize profits.
👍🏼. It’s worked brilliantly for them so far. But H-1B must not be used unless no American can be found with the requisite skills/quals. Then and only then. And they should be required to justify by name why such a qualified American didn’t get selected, as in the American didn’t want to move, etc. And make that a searchable database to make them accountable for lying, forcing them to hire the American with back pay in case of such fraud, and deporting the foreigner.
Stay in any non brand hotel across the country and it will be crowd funded and owned by Eastern Indians.
I’ve paid off my kids student loans and am trying to give them a kickstart in their young lives even though I’ve received no assistance from the crooks in DC.
I see many hedonistic Americans who would never pay off their kids student loans nor crowd fund them to a successful small business or career.
Cake is baked, the selfish European lineage will be erased from America in 100 years.
It will turn into an overpopulated third world shithole in the same amount of time.
The crowdfunding concept is done in Korea, Vietnam, and a number of countries, and it works well, provides family employment, and accumulation of investment capital for other future crowdfunding. It's been an important source for business in an extremely stratified, caste-driven, tribal society.
Most Indians that own motels are Gujarati, very entrepreneurial people. Also not honest. But they do take care of each other. We had better start taking care of our own, and stop tribalizing our own people.
selfish European lineage will be erased from America in 100 years.
kek
Yeah?
And who will suffer from this?
Who exactly are the SELFISH parties REEEEEEEing that ERMAGERD WHITE MAN YOU HAVE TO BREED OUR WAY OUT OF THIS AFTER WE DESTROYED YOUR PEOPLE OVER THE PAST 100 YEARS ?????
I’ve paid off my kids student loans
WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE POOR MONEYLENDERS AND COLLEGE PROFESSORS/ADMINISTRATORS!?
hedonistic Americans who would never pay off their kids student loans
YES, WHITE MEN, FEEL SHAME AT MY FEMALE SLAPS TO YOUR INBORN ALTRUISM! PAY THE MONEYLENDERS, WHITE MAN! PAY!!! TEACH YOUR OFFSPRING THAT INTEREST-BEARING DEBT HAS NO CONSEQUENCES!!!
kek I say.
You wanted a world without white men. You’re about to get your wish.
Just remember: we go home to God. You go home to what? Some “goddess” wearing a necklace of skulls…or some Hollywood fantasies about the afterlife. Where, we presume, only those are admitted who paid up in full to the moneylenders.
Playing on white men’s altruism and shame is over and done.
And so is lying about “I see many hedonistic Americans who.” You don’t see s—t, and you don’t see yourself in John 8:44-47.
This is a classical case of statistical masturbation, if you had researched a bit deeper you would find that around 21 percent of Indian population is muslim and cousin marriages are prevalent amongst them. Second, the average IQ is low because of the hundreds of millions of people living in poverty that just started to have access to nutrition in the past decade and clearly they are not migrating to America. You could have simply written "Hate Indians, don't want to see them in America".
We pretty much closed it after the large influx from Europe before WWI. But the destroyers couldn't divide and conquer an assimilated nation, all AMERICAN. So, they had to import the poor and "diverse", to set us against each other, and bleed us dry.
Legal or illegal immigration proponents are intentionally LYING. They do not even like (forget LOVE) the USA.
H1B visa’s only benefit the billionaires who fancy themselves as job creators; the rest of us are just useless eaters.

The people that organize this number do not care about the new arrivals or the current citizens.
The laziest means to debate is to resort to “racist”.
Why should 10,000 or 1,000 non-citizens be employed in the place of citizens? How does that benefit citizens?
Lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man!
You are either unaware of how much immigrants contribute to the American economy or you’re so full of yourself that you think only “citizens” (and we both know what you’re implying with that term) are entitled to live and work in the United States.

Whats the math on allowing 0% in?
The laziest means to debate is to resort to “racist”.
Why should 10,000 or 1,000 non-citizens be employed in the place of citizens? How does that benefit citizens?
Did you ask that question when you imported the slaves to be employed in place of citizens?
You’re neglecting any variables in addition to the H1-B count. The author clearly points out the effect of chain migration through family reunification laws. Additionally, as we see in Canada, Indians in enough numbers will seek political power and work to change the laws to benefit themselves as they are a much more nepotistic people than Westerners.
Have you considered that others have a different understanding of America than you do?

This takes away from their home country. Those same most productive people could be the means of dramatic change. But, they exert their efforts away from their birth home.
No I mean, people see America as a melting pot of different cultures and a nation of immigrants.
That could be why they see immigration as inherently good even at the potential to negatively affect labor.
The white man only wants POC as long as they can be subjugated and controlled. Why are Republicans dismantling DEI, criminalising the teaching of critical race and black history, and trying to put a stop to immigration?

Agreed totally. It's articles like this that propagate all the worst bigotry and ignorance we see online. The writer is quite frankly a madman.
Completely agree.
Ka$h confirmed !!
Full of myself…
Accusing is so easy and lazy.

Had very similar experiences. Indeed typical behaviour.
Thank you Matt Bracken. Both for your comments and the free downloads.
I have read all your books, a couple twice or more, especially your essays.
I own the hard copies plus the kindle versions. You have a great brain, and
I wish you and yours a wonderful New Year/2025.

You too, Suzanna. We made it to another quarter-century mark!
Now let's see what the future brings, in the brief blink of an eye of human history we are able to experience first hand.

Phull sappart faaar ijraeeel saaar 🙄
It’s better to just mock it.
This is a complete lie btw. And a rather shameful way to sell your books. So easy to prove otherwise, but why bother. Ideologues don't listen.
Very well said! We must not let Indians flood the USA. We do need to pause immigration for a good long time so our nation can heal. Enough!!
Wasn’t there a time we closed the doors until people assimilated?
Every country in the world needs to fix themselves just as we need to desperately now
We pretty much closed it after the large influx from Europe before WWI. But the destroyers couldn't divide and conquer an assimilated nation, all AMERICAN. So, they had to import the poor and "diverse", to set us against each other, and bleed us dry.
Thank you. I do vaguely remember Rush talking about it
My nickle's worth (it was 2 cents before inflation). Full disclosure: I am a maximum Bracken fan.
