I worked with an Indian, several years ago. I asked him that question.
His Answer. The Indians who come to America are in the top 10% in the country. They come with a Sponsor. The sponsor is not going to bring in a lazy A-hole.
Top 10% of a billion people is very intelligent group.

This country has never taken in immigrants that would culturally enrich. Ultimately the second generation melts into the dominate culture.

What did Italian immigrants bring.....or the Irish,Poles or Jews from Eastern Europe.

You are a typical racist with an inferiority complex.

I ran an engineering company for years, and I promise you we do not have enough American engineers. They're just not enough Americans who are willing to do the hard work to get through engineering school.

I agree

because we get all the good ones. There's over a billion of them and the British taught them English and to value education. So out of a billion there's like 10s of millions of highly educated Indians over there who want to come here and make bank.

Unlike whites, they develop tight communities of Indian people and support each other. They dont engage in the self hate that whites do

Which is morally wrong, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

You helped foreigners over Americans, and you depressed the wages of Americans.

I think that's the biggest factor, because there's no intelligence advantage.

The self hate a taught behavior though. It comes from Hollywood, schools, and the media generally.

Morally wrong?

There aren't enough Americans to fill these jobs, and these are productive jobs at the higher end of our economy that benefit us all.

This isn't some welfare leach immigrant story. They are producing value when there is a very limited supply of available domestic labor to do so.

I hired the best I could get. Some of them were foreigners. Most were Americans. I wasn't going to hire unimpressive, stupid Americans over qualified foreigners. We valued merit, and that is what we made our decisions on. I'm proud of it.

True capitalists and "small government republicans" believe in meritocracy, as long as that meritocracy means "native born white people"

When intellectually honest white people say Americans, they mean whites. I can’t speak for minorities but I’d be shocked if the answer was different for the average minority.

There’s a nice medium rare “gotcha” filet that should make you feel good for awhile.

Lima is correct. Indians don’t belong here. They have to go back. Go fix the shithole they came from if they are such valuable employees.

How long is it going to take assholes to realize if you have to pay an American (reminder, I’m white) a little more for a little less, but the end result doesn’t lead to multiculturalism, you and your lineage will be better off?

What?

American doesn't denote any race. Intellectually honest people understand that. We even have terms for our racial diversity that predate PC culture by decades (the melting pot and so forth).

There aren't the same number of productive companies in India b/c it's at a different stage of economic development. We get the benefit of this.

Well the economic benefit. You are probably upset at the racial component.

As a mutt who is primarily Cajun and Italian (with a sprinkling of Portuguese-Caribbean), this is hilarious. The same shite was said about my people not that long ago. Now we're seen as white by people like you. Funny how that works.
