This guy is full of crap.
My friend from Detroit knows him personally.

Diversity this diversity that. Now even minorities have learned to use the buzzwords to gladden the hearts of the white liberals.

Till now, no one has been able to conclusively prove that diversity is good. People just repeat which causes more to repeat because they are afraid to be canceled.

I can get behind the above. All makes sense. You aren't going to see the lower caste Indians moving to America, let alone the burbs imo.



"lower caste"
You really need to move beyond these lame talking points. No one is low or high.

I work with mostly Indians and i see the way they treat each other so you won't convince me that they don't still believe in that system.

So you just went ahead and assumed? Since you work with them, why not just ask them?

More H1B fun by that charlatan Musk who will "go to war" to retain his slaves for his companies.

Trump won my vote, not Musk. If Trump goes along with Musk on this obvious scam, them I am will be sure that he is all talk and no action.


Tesla reportedly replacing some laid off US workers with those holding H-1B visas

Tesla is reportedly replacing some of its laid off workforce with foreign workers using H-1B visas recently championed by CEO Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump.

According to a report by Electrek, Musk is using the work visa program to bring qualified foreign workers to his companies, like Tesla, and replacing U.S. workers who were laid off this year.
Qualified foreign workers must be sponsored by a company to obtain a H-1B visa. The work visa lasts three years and can be extended to six before the holder needs to reapply. The visa holder must remain employed at their sponsor to retain the work visa and must leave the country if employment ends. Many tech companies use H-1B visas to bring in workers and depend on them to operate.

According to Electrek, Tesla requested over 2,000 H-1B visas during the time it was laying off part of its global workforce, a widespread layoff concentrated in California and Texas.

Quote:

Tesla laid off 10% of its global workforce in April, affecting 14,000 employees worldwide, including nearly 2,700 in Austin. It is unclear what the reported recent H-1B visa hiring spree means for Tesla's Austin Gigafactory.

The H-1B visa program has sparked controversy. Some view it as a legal means to bring skilled workers to the U.S., while others criticize the power sponsors have over visa holders. This includes paying them less, pressuring them, and threatening to revoke their sponsorship. Some have even likened it to modern-day indentured servitude.


This is the heart of the issue and what we need to be analyzing.

We need to be concerned about H1-Bs reducing our salaries. I have seen a huge market shift in the last two years. I don't care where they are from, I don't want ANY foreigner depressing wages and taking jobs from new grads, period.

Not likely.
First it was casteism, then it was sexism. Next bring up skin color or religion. Make up your mind.
All the H1B Indians I worked with had their wives working as well on some H4 visa. Why will they have a problem with women. Just some made up sheet.
Anyway, this topic is OT so nothing more from me on this.

Not made up at all, but whatever. Fortune 50 and my teams work with these folks literally all the time. Our own employees (here and in India), IBM, PWC, TCS, InfoSys, and many others.

Went to dinner with my manager, VJ, at an Indian joint near the Tampa Airport

I was embarrassed to be with him he was so rude

First thing he did was establish she was from the South

Downhill from there

lol, we're screwed now.


Trump has always said he wants the best and brightest, not the criminals, rapist, terrorists, coming in.

So if that is the case, he's not saying anything he really hasn't said before. It could just be that his maga were only hearing what they wanted to hear, because Trump doesn't mind if America gets a little more melanin via immigrants, so long as they can contribute to our society.

Anyone on the right old enough to remember 2017-2020 shouldn't be surprised by this at all. He ****ed us over the first time and he'll do it again. "Tech-right vs MAGA-right" is just "alt-lite vs alt-right" round 2.

There won't be a wall, there won't be mass deportations and there won't be H1B reform.

Hes promised to improve the economy and job market as well, not keep importing people to do the work cheaper for his billionaire buddies.

He and the Rs have about 2 years to get the ship heading in the right direction, or they will hand it back to the Ds for another 8-10. He seems focused on being a blow hard, and alienating every entry to mid level white collar, and the vast majority of the blue collar, voter he can find.

The real reason people anre against bringing the best talent from around the world to the U.S. is fear of being outworked, out talented, outsmarted, and undercut in pay for better service.




No one believes this garbage gaslighting anymore. We all know it's not true and directly counter to our experiences in real life.
You do realize the guy you are responding to is 99.99% chance Indian.

And my undergrad and MS are in engineering so I have lots of friends in tech and follow it. This thread is long so maybe I haven't gotten to the other discussion, but if everyone is worried about Indian takeover in tech, you should be even more worried who your physicians will be in the future.

My nephew is a PhD student in engineering at A&M. He says the Indians are in the labs and offices 100 hours a week. They work 10 hours and discuss scheming our systems for the other 90 hours.

Oh, yeah, but were they the captain of their football teams?

More importantly, how many cheerleaders did they bang in HS?

But it seems, to me at least, that he sees importing people to do the work cheaper as a way to improve the economy. PErhaps a la trickle-down where the money companies save goes into things that help the economy?

Just spit balling here because as much as disagree with Trump on this, and I really do, I'm trying to see things through his lens.

Indians just work harder!

If you do this for 130 IQ, which is generally what is needed to code well, the percentage of Indians is very low to be almost negligible. It's absolutely laughable that anyone thinks India is the place we need to get H1-B coders from rather than Europe or North East Asia.

Bro, I am on your side on this debate, but this kind of "evidence" is nonsense. There are some really smart people in India and real dunderheads also. Let's get the geniuses here and keep out the doofuses. Right now, we allow everyone in.
I know you are Indian. Where do you feel you fit in this? And I'm not attacking, as white people draw line of smart, hardworking vs lazy, uneducated amount white Americans

This Indian guy speaks about the magnitude of the problem. It's much worse than you think.

This thread also covers it:



Less than 10% of the jobs go to whites now. Read the thread and watch the video above, they are extremely eye-opening about just how bad it's become.

Thanks for the links I will take a look but you are right, it is way worse.

A lot of people even on this board are so clueless about it and spout the usual "free markets" and "if you can't find a job you are lazy" talking points that their favorite radio show host gave them. Unless one is in the field, they have no idea of how deep the rot it. I don't know why Americans actively plot their own demise like the Europeans are doing. Is this some kind of curse?

I will ignore Musk, Ramaswamy, Trump on what they say until Jan 20. I will only watch what they do. Only that matters.

What I would like:
1. Repeal H1B completely.
2. Bring in a new program that allows people with advanced degrees and skills to come in and work in the US. Case by case basis and ensure they are not undercutting US salaries.

Let us see.

Gotta respect a man going his own way even when it goes against the leader of his party. And like we saw with covid, he came out on the right side of things.

for now.

If Trump doesn't do anything about this, we are doomed as a nation. We will be hollowed out and have to go to India for jobs.

One should not be wedded to any ideology from a different era that is not attuned to present day situations. Else one becomes like Islam and Muslims (who live in the 7th century).
