Immigrants not seeing themselves as Americans

Watching these H1B debates on X. The right is making great points about lack of assimilation / nepotism, H1B abuse in hiring people into jobs like dog trainers, etc.
I'm seeing a lot of Indians and other minorities using the occasion to say things like 'this has been very revealing', 'this proves we're on our own', 'The GOP doesn't see us as Americans', etc.
What that tells me is they never saw themselves as Americans in the first place, and they're in search of a reason to not have to pretend. In their eyes, this debate gives them the casus belli to justify ingroup nepotism, hate natural born Americans, etc. I think they actually prefer to feel attacked so they don't have to pretend to try to assimilate.

You can drop this line of thought.
Trump is cool with H1B’s.

If we are going to allow immigration, it should be sudden and then stopped to force assimilation for a generation or two. As a matter of fact, no more paperwork in multiple languages. If the immigrant does not understand, ask a friendly American.
Without assimilation we are creating division. Learning the English language is the first basic requirement.

People need to stop letting the left get them fired up. Hopefully Trump and company will us H1B to better the country.

You know what? Good
The quickest way to end migration is to become openly hostile. Prejudice is a defense mechanism, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Indians own the subway near me - they are hardworking nice people - I see no problem with them being in America. Stop begin such a racist moron.

Why should someone who is here temporarily on a work visa "assimilate"? People seeking to become naturalized citizens, or even permanent residents...hell yes they should assimilate. But people temporarily on work visas?
If you were an auto engineer and BMW recruited you to work in a plant in Germany, would you assimilate as a German? frick no.
