So… they’re stuck at home?

India is pitching a hissy because a large number of their citizens who returned home to renew their H-1B visas are having their appointments canceled and so are stuck at home. Of course the Indian government is referring to this as ‘stranded’.

How one can be stranded at home is truly beyond me, however. The Indian government also says that this delay has created a hardship for those impacted. Perhaps they have forgotten that it is a privilege to work in the U.S., not a right. And the delay is so that their social media presence can be checked to make sure they aren’t a danger to the US.

If it’s a hardship, then why? Because they are in India and not in the US? If that’s a hardship, maybe work on your homeland rather than blame the US government for not letting your citizens back into our country pro-forma, which has basically been what’s happening for decades. That’s been laziness on the part of our government and it’s going to take time to correct.

Additionally, for sixty years, Indian visa holders have been taking jobs that should be saved for US citizens with complicity from the US government and companies. It’s about time that the brakes be put on this.

    I’ve worked with some people from India and they were great, but I keep reminding myself that they are just the top 1% of the top 1% of the top 1% of the entire Indian population. The rest of them, not so much. My company contracts with an engineering center in Mumbai and every teams call is a fricking treat. /sarc. Nope, bad enough we’re sending work to India, we sure don’t need all of them over here. And oh yeah, their attitudes toward women is only slightly less offensive than the muslims. Strange how our progressives pick some of the worst, most oppressive people in the world to praise and import.

      My experience is the opposite working in tech.

      Sure, I could hire Masters and PhD holders for $5/hrs a decade or two ago but it took 20 of them and several US managers to get the quality output I’d expect of a single certificate holder in the US. And pay so much in overhead, taxes, infrastructure, etc. that it cost more than hiring a decent worker in the US.

      Now, I work in a completely different, specialized field with a small number of skilled, experienced people. Companies get duped into hiring Indians with substandard experience in completely different, older technologies. I make a majority of my money coming in to consult and fix their messes as everything is crashing. The lost revenue, time, rework, etc is in the hundreds of millions. Much less the organizational cancer they bring.

      The diploma and certification mills in India are booming business.

      Yes, there are the 0.001% in India the have half a brain. But they do not share our values. Once they get a foothold in an organization it becomes a downward spiral.

    Extending what Don said, I went to high school with a brother and sister that were Indian. Both were bright. She had a wonderful personality and was drop dead gorgeous. She wouldn’t date anyone in high school. She said when the time came, her father would go back to India and find her a husband.

    Maybe all of these great people could stay home and make their own countries great. We’re kinda full.

    Unferth, you probably dodged a bullet with that girl. Judging by the linkedin pics of Indian girls I’ve known from decades past, they do NOT age gracefully. That and I’d have a real hard time kissing a girl with a bigger mustache than mine. That said, I’ve known some very pretty Indian girls when they were quite young (in their 20’s, dirty minded people – young is a perspective). But yeah, they hit the wall pretty hard.

    Along that same line, one Indian girl I knew had this hours long sob story – her father had found a man back home to marry her. They met and went thru some formalized dating ritual. She thought she was all set to get hitched and then he called her mom and chewed the mom out for not raising the daughter (her) to be properly subservient. He fricking canceled their wedding by talking to the mom!

    Yeah, other cultures and all that. I am so thankful to have been born in Texas.

    oh, too bad, so sad. If these people are REALLY that smart, why aren’t they in India trying to make their country a better place to live?

    Eff them. I’m so GD sick of people coming here and ripping us off I could spit. Them and the pols that passed the laws allowing this to happen should all be taken out behind the woodshed and have the shit kicked out of them or worse.

    My brother, a died in the wool Demonrat, says “we’re a nation of immigrants”. I almost throw up every time he says that.

    1. LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. 2. You get a job ONLY if there are no native born people available with the required qualifications. Otherwise, you shovel chit against the tide and LIKE IT. Fast food and pizzeria jobs are for native born high school kids. 3. None of this chain migration boolchit. You’re relatives don’t get to come here and be welfare dependents just because you won the immigration lottery. Oh, can’t bear to be separated from your aunties uncles and grandparents who are struggling to make a living? GO BACK TO THE CHITHOLE YOU CAME FROM and make that a better place to live.
