H-1B Visa Program is no longer needed as there are now already plenty of American Citizens with Technical Backgrounds to Competently Perform the Roles.

H-1B Visa holders, you can go ahead and pack your bags tonight, purchase a plane ticket and head home. Us American Citizens have got it from here on out. Thank you for your “temporary” services (we think).

AMERICAN JOBS are stake here! Not talking jobs in the fields here. I am talking the good paying $100k+ jobs that you can only get at these large corporations.

Do you really want to simply easily hand these jobs over to the Indian population without even any pushback?!

Starter homes are now going for $500 million dollars. Gas prices now over $4 a gallon. Electricity bills going up due to Data centers. Groceries are higher.

So, with all that said, can we really afford to so easily be giving our $100k+ office American jobs away to Indians???!!!!

Please, think it through. Not spreading hate. I would have the same stance if white Australians or white Britains were taking our jobs.

Normally, I use terminology in saying Non-Americans instead of so bluntly saying Indians.

But I feel that when we say that non-American citizens need to be deported, our Federal Government is thinking Latinos, not Indians.

Well, at least where I live, some illegal immigrant Latino picking strawberries in the fields being deported due to not being a citizen does not impact me and my family’s economy.

No, what does affect me and my family’s economic wellbeing is the Indian Director that pushed me out of my Engineer role so that he could then hire more Indians in his department. And in all honesty, I had been with the company so long and learned so much, I would have made a much better Director than him.

Point is, we need to start making it crystal clear to this Administration as to exactly who we want deported. And that is those adversely impacting the upper echelon high paying office jobs. And at this time, that just happens to be largely the population from India.

Had nothing to do with their skin color nor race. Has totally to do with whatever population, at this point in time of history, that is most impacting American lives, financial futures, and quite frankly America’s data protections.

I would feel exactly the same if the population adversely impacting American citizens were from Australia, Britain, Germany, Iceland, Greenland, or wherever.

@sk About time! More of THIS!

AMERICA FIRST!

No more indentured servitude! No more cheap, non-American workers to replace Americans and keep us from being able to buy homes and live the American dream.
