Nothing that he said proved your point. Everything you said proved you are a bigot.

Well at 60 I don’t get to choose which dept hire me. I have seen my picky coworkers collect unemployment and remain jobless so I’m just grateful I found something that will last few more years. Kudos that you are doing better than us.

Newark is a sh1thole. If you are trying to brag, you failed.

NJ Overall is a high priced dump. Enjoy your new Governor

Well you haven’t seen my neighborhood growing up in Mobile.
If I didn’t move to my grandparents in Little Rock for middle and high schools, I’d be just like them in mobile.
For comparison, I have never seen Indians in Newark where I am now remotely behaving like the all white people in Mobile.

Making a house some glorified filthy dorm room is not assimilating. Cooking in the garage and stinking the entire neighborhood is not assimilating.

“ still don't understand why overseas folks can't create
their own independent company there”

Overseas folks wondering why your predecessors couldn’t live in the origin country instead of running to America and making a mess.

@j3 what do you mean they don’t assimilate?
Someone on H1B shouldn’t have to assimilate if they are not citizens.

@ft you must be trolling.
Indians make up a very very small number of people in America.
If your concern is their parents love their grandkids and your parents love the RV live, that’s on you not them.

@d8

Multiple generations living in a town house
I’m stuck behind a school bus and 90% of them have parents from India

We need to stop importing millions of people both legally and illegally

Before 1965 there were quotas and there was not chain migration

@c1 do you mean they breed like rabbits and you're now overrun with a new batch of smart Indian kids that you didn't expect next door ? It's not little Bombay you're thinking of, but a new version of the little improved South India. You get Keralites, Tamils and Andhra folks taking over the 'hood. And you can smell the curryfest a mile or two away ! LOL.

Call it whatever you want but I’m sick of my neighborhood turning into little Bombay

It’s not just where I am
It’s all over this country

People can’t get married and have families like they used to

Instead they take someone from India and they sponsor their families and they come here and procreate pricing people out from buying their own houses

Exactly the kind of place that Trump and his henchmen are trying to create in the USA.

@ah, it's all about corruption and not willing to spend their own money on investing in a company. They would rather use foreign investors to provide the money and resources that they will squander and spend.

Cheer up, as of yesterday Agent Orange (Trump) is talking about bringing back the H1B visas again. Someone put the pressure back on him.

@ah - It depends on where "there" is, but let's assume India.
What you have to understand is that the big tech centers in India are Potemkin Villages. Go 1 km outside the corporate campus and it's illiterate people cooking over open fires and sh!tt!ng in the middle of the street. The infrastructure is terrible, the politicians are corrupt and have to be bribed to lift a pinky finger, the main industry outside of subsistence agriculture is running massive scam call centers. The only way out is to get an H1B or other visa. But corruption/scam mindset is so deeply embedded, they bring that culture with them to the West.
