That's fine but the petty comments on this board are insulting. You're perfect, right?

Those folks ain't taking their cars with 'em either. There will be a lot of unintended side effects, almost all positive with running these people off.

no, but not wearing deodorant, not bathing everyday, and not washing your workout clothes is a choice, not genetics. decisions, decisions, decisions. If you make bad decisions, you can only blame yourself. It is a very easy, simple and cheap choice to make. It doesn't take lifelong therapy sessions to do those things.

OK, y'all have fun taking a valid H-1B issue and turning into a cultural thing. Just like Dems - very "tolerant."

Y'all talk down to all Indians like libs talk down to conservatives. Crazy thing is Indians (the ones in their country) think more like conservatives than libs. So, y'all ripping **** on Indians is funny and lib like.

Again, the H-1B issue is legit. Glad it's changing. The rest of the minutia y'all post is embarrassing.

Really?

My once solid red zip code now reliably votes blue (and overwhelming favors ethnic candidates in local races). And it's become heavily Indian in 20 years. How is that "thinking more like conservatives?"

Fair point. Those that have been here for a while have more liberal tendencies, for sure. I'm referring to India itself. Modi is a business oriented leader. They are clearly capitalist there and favor a Trump led USA than the alternative. This is based on my experience from going there and knowing many professionals that have some life experiences.

There are naive 2nd gens here kinda like the white liberal female.

But the repeated curry comments aren't embarrassing? Isn't that somewhat childish? I'm just cautioning to paint with a broad brush and damn a culture that is more like us than anyone else on that side of the world.

ETA - I'm glad the H1B issues are being addressed. People should hate the game more than the player; but there's a lot of hating the player. Every culture is different; maybe a little grace and tolerance would go a long way.

Indian culture being the closest to ours in the side of the world is like being the tallest midget. I've had enough of the pro globalism, anti nationalism, give everything away at the expense of the middle class crap. All these people do is come over and scam while importing their third world culture. Sure some are smart and add value, but it's not the majority.

A lot of anti-Indian comments are based on real life encounters.

Couple of weeks ago I was in a doctor's waiting room. Indian lady listening to Bollywood tunes at top volume on her phone, no headphones. Indian man walks in with BO bad enough to drop an elephant. These two transformed the entire experience for everyone in there, and not in a good way.

I finally told the lady to turn her phone down. The man next to her told me "thank you."

Nothing I could do about the smelly guy.

People across the US are waking up and seeing how their entire neighborhood or community has been transformed, seemingly overnight. Even in small towns. They have no recourse other than to express their feelings.

Because there is no "conservative" piece to how immigrants vote.

They vote with tribalism to inject their culture into local politics.

If by Indians being conservative, people mean ok with living in a caste society that's incredibly racist to blacks, whites, Muslims, everything… Hell even other regions of India can't stand the others… then nawe. Get that **** out of here.

No other country in the world was founded on liberty and justice for all… yet that filth slithers here, uses this place as an economic zone, and continues to spread their tribal, pagan culture like they've done for a millennia.

I have mixed feelings about all of this...Have a sense that ultimately making the bar high on H1B's is a good thing.

That said, the south Asians in north Tx aren't to blame here. They didn't create the program, they're just looking out for their own interests by taking advantage of it. Insulting them and their culture is unnecessary.

Yeah. No.

They falsify documents. Lie on applications, etc.

If by looking out for your own interest means knowingly gaming a system and likely committing fraud, nope. They are to blame. And like moths to a flame, they multiply and continue doing it.

Unfortunately, our political system which is meant to not allow overarching, sweeping changes, could not react fast enough.

You literally have public schools in Frisco that are 90+% Indian.

We built in prosper in 2021. At the time, you could count on 2 hands the Indian families in the hood. 4 years later? Entire streets were Indian and new phases probably 50+% Indian.

That isn't normal. Isn't ok. And is a shock to any culture or system.

There are plenty of people who follow all the rules, If we change rules, they will largely comply, no need to impugn an entire class of people.

I'd also add that it's horse**** that 1 HEB leads to like 8 people. Kids, wife, parents. Then their brother and his clan of kids.

And they all go to Costco together and try on clothes right there in the aisle.

Who cares if the follow they rules/law? Thats expected baseline behavior. Our government is supposed to represent its citizens, not enrich corporations with cheap labor. This needs to end.

I told the same to the Abbott campaigner that just showed at my door and I told him I'm not voting until the GOP focuses on citizens. Radical position, I know.

I am with you on this. All these "smelly" and "curry sucks" jibes are lame. If folks don't want to eat curry or whatever then don't.

Here is what happened. Until around 2012, US had a high bar to entry. Many got rejected, mostly the best and brightest came in, some average but still good. Of course some morons as well but very few. Indian immigration was not a problem and they did not stand out. More importantly, they were grateful for the opportunity and humble and tried to fit in and were not intrusive, demanding or annoying.

Post 2012, the doors opened wide, standards fell or were non existent and everyone came in. India opened many many engineering colleges (with low low standards) and they all got jobs in the US through Infosys TCS and Wipro. Everyone made money. As long as people made money no one cared about long term impact. Both Americans and politicians are guilty. Then wokeism came and it made things worse. No one can even complain or get canceled.

Who lost? Americans. America.

You sleep with your front door open at night and what happens? Animals come in, insects, bugs, coyotes, snakes, mice and in some cases even human bums from the street. It is hard to get rid of the infestation. We did this for a few dollars because we are "capitalists".

The Indians who migrated before 2012 are the doctors, engineers and company builders who helped make America greater. The ones who came in after that are the arrogant ungrateful grifters who are convinced that they are the best, Americans are stupid and they need to save America. They are the ones on Tik Tok doing the stupid dances.

So it is our fault. But that is in the past. Wise up and push H1Bs out but don't disrespect an ancient culture or alienate those who are fighting for America. There will be short term pain for sure and everyone will say told ya!!! ha ha you need us. But long term it is for the best.

That is the reason why I post so much about H1B. Because it is a tsunami that is consuming America and people don't seem to know it.

Dude. The vast majority of us would never buy an Indian owned home. It would need to be gutted to the studs and concrete, and probably chemically sealed. The yard would certainly need to be re-sodded and probably the landscaping redone from scratch. None of this is hyperbole.

There are some embarassing comments on here, but I think folks should see the backlash as bipartisan, net, and driven by the behavior of the vast majority of the H1B populations we are familiar with. It also isn't hard to find 'their' side making bellicose statements in other corners of the interweb, too.

Ask any realtor who tries to move these homes, they are ruined, how do people not know about this?

I find it amusing that person calls blue state people "normies". There is absolutely nothing further from the truth as someone who now lives in a blue state.

I've never had issues with Indians who had parents that previously immigrated and made lives in the U.S. Those folks are mostly Westernized and largely assimilated. The problem really got bad when they implemented what amount to caste networks within businesses. I don't want to see places called "State Bank of Texas" where the entire leadership team is Indian.

In no universe would a real company be able to get away with that **** and have only white men in leadership roles.

Agreed. Very good friend of mine is second generation Indian and probably knows more about football than most on this board. He's straight up American.

This chain migration b.s. that has happened in the 10-20 years is a different deal. And their caste racism they have brought with them is completely unacceptable, but allowed because they are brown.
