Some of my thoughts:

1. Americans who are loosing jobs are not because H1b but because there are no manufacturing units over here.
2. Please check census data for 2000 and 2010. Approximately 40% population in US finished high school education.
3. so in order to get this 40% people in mainstream you do not need IT jobs but needs manufacturing jobs instead.
4. I am sure that this must be difficult time for Americans who do not have jobs but I urge you all to consider that “Free Economy” concept was brought by western country under which US has enjoyed many golden years. Now some other race is enjoying it.
5. Indians are still 3rd or 4th largest immigrants in US. Some other countries still hold higher ranks than Indians.
6. To the argument that Indians are cheap worker, yes we do not expect whole lot of things from life so we are satisfied with less salary than our US counterparts. Company can reduce their products prices in this way which again helps Americans to get cheaper product. So please understand that this is the cycle where you disrupt one piece and face consequences on other fronts.

There are many other things which I can mention. but some other day.

Peace out guys!!

America is the melting pot, and for that reason alone people need to stop the vitriolic text this page seems to be attracting. Peace Everyone!

The problem with most of the Indians arriving in the US off-late is that they are desperate to survive with scant regard to any work-ethics or social behavior. They are always in their own silos, will always remain in their own groups, will always speak their mother tongue at work between themselves making American workers apprehensive. Same is also true of majority of the new Chinese immigrants.

Now, the blame squarely goes to the current graduate level admission requirements of the American educational institutions. Barring a few good institutions, all the universities in America are money-hungry. They want to recruit as many foreign nationals as possible, some even fore-go GRE, GMAT requirements. The reason being that the foreigners will pay almost 3.5 times the fees that nationals and looking at the diminishing grants that these universities now receive because of the economic conditions, they don’t shy away! So its more like a Capitalist economy that is to be blamed than anything else. I pity at how the quality of education has deteriorated in graduate studies in the last 12-15 years in American institutes. Once you get a graduate degree in America, you can live there for 29 months without any problem and by that time one will always find out a way for staying further back through work visa!

So alas, though I have worked in places that smelled either curry or burger or Chinese fried rice, i have also worked in places that did not smell at all.

Having said that, why would I not like my SSN benefits to help me if in future when I have lived in America in ways that have been better than most of the Americans live. Only few speeding tickets and no other offense in my stay of more than 11 years. Of course I am teetotaler so DUI is out of question for me .
