Yep. H1B’s were designed to supplement the labor market.
They never indexed it to inflation. Do that and this problem goes away.

Yeah it was in the Coppell-Valley Ranch area. My mom who also works in the area calls it New New Dehli.
So I don’t know much about all this visa stuff because it doesn’t really involve my line of work.
If they’re paying them such low wages, how are they buying all these 700K++ homes?

My mom works for a major bank and she said they only hire Indians these days. I went to pick her up for lunch one day and saw nothing but Indians. My mom said the only non-Indians who work there were those who were hired 15+ years ago(my mom has been there since 1999).
I interviewed someone just this week who had been laid off from her previous position because they want to hire more Indians. As in they're moving part of their operation to India so they can do more outsourcing.

I'm always amazed at protectionism in it's various forms and who supports it. We hate the luddites and their fight to keep automation out of American ports, but we LOVE eliminating the H1B visas. We LOVE imposing tariffs on goods from certain countries, but hate the big corp bailouts. It's weird.

Many of them end up winding up in managerial/director/C-Suite level positions. Even though the IT/Data Engineering departments at my last job were 100% Indian, so were the managers/directors/VPs of those departments.
It's the non managerial roles that are on the wrong side of the wage arbitrage.
Also I noticed they practiced their caste system bullshite in the office. The management and even some of the non management were really rude to a couple of employees - I learned it was because those 2 employees were from a low caste in India. It was really bad, but I guess they got away with it because it would be racist to criticize it. Whereas if a white manager treated employees in that manner that white manager probably gets fired.

We hate Americans standing in the way of technological progress and efficiency but love the idea of halting importation of cheap human labor that depress wages and adds more strain to all public utilities and services provided. It’s so weird.

I know, I can’t believe we want things made in America to be in the same cost footing as things that come from countries with lax or non-existent labor and environmental laws AND we want business to be on the same footing in the eyes of the government. It’s such a strange position to take

Those people are in mid-six figure salaried managerial positions.
Those people are also the ones outsourcing the lower level tech positions to Indian employees still in India for 1/3 the wage they’d have to pay an American employee.

Some projects have a lot of grunt work.

My company does this. One look at any tech team and all are curry Indians.

Las Colinas is pretty much now New Delhi
Edit: What Nugget is saying is 10000% true. We had to move our tier 1 back from India because we were losing customers due to shite service outcomes.

And they receive kickbacks for doing so

Thank God for critical thinking skills, otherwise we'd have to treat every situation with the same exact logic & no nuance at all

Get rid of HB1, and companies will just offshore. It's getting extremely big in the accounting industry to have "centers of excellence" or contractors of accountants in India/Lithuania/others.

Coppell, Valley Ranch, Las Colinas, Irving, Richardson - all have been taken over. Saw that Coppell High School was now over 50% Indian?
Its bleeding into Frisco, Plano and McKinney now
I remember back in 2013 when I was renting my first apartment. In the leasing office was 3 families of Indians renting a 3 bedroom apartment to share in the same complex. This was in Lewisville.
Also they all drive around the area with STUDENT DRIVER bumper stickers hoping it will excuse their bad driving.

No shite. My company does this. And then when they get Indian people over to the us, they way underpay them when they get here.
I’m relatively confident I got hired because I’m a white guy and there’s only one other white guy in my working group and people were starting to get a little suspicious
