The fears escalated for Harpreet Singh Kohli under the glow of a TV screen last year, when his daughter broke down at the sight of the words strung across the screen: “TRUMP WINS 2016 ELECTION.”

Indians——I own a condo in an apartment complex-——all 2 bedroom apartments.
The Indians have 2-3 generations living together.
They ARE good neighbors,very quiet,and they all own their units-——but this was unheard of even a few years ago.
I just don’t get it.
My local Dunkin Donuts girl is from NEPAL,for heaven’s sake.

America is an amazing country. It's the only country on earth where citizens throw each other under the bus like it is nothing.
Loose your job chum to a cheap import? Eh, who cares? It's not me.
Yes. Yes, America is the great "melting pot," but we don't have to take everyone in.
Sorry, anchor baby...we're sick and tired of it. We're broke, in tons of debt and deficit spending...a lot is due to taking care of people from other countries who need schooling, health care, ad infinitum.
We have an aging infrastructure to repair; a population getting older with health care needs, etc. Lots more I could think of if I put my mind to it.
So you make money off the scam. Noted and catalogued.
I have no idea what you are talking about????????????

Excellent point. Hope the President or some of his staffers see this.
Although President Trump is a pretty intelligent man; he may be working on this as we speak.
btw, so tired of calling customer service for my computer and getting someone, obviously from India, who I cannot understand.
Indeed. Shortly after I received a call from company that had been sitting on my resume for two years, I read a series of articles that brought it all together.
The gist was that the Trump Administration was pushing back on H-1B Applications effectively with a simple question, "If this role is so specialized that it requires foreign talent, why are you posting it with an entry-level pay grade?"
I think companies are starting to realize that if they have to pay market wages, they may as well get solid talent.
You rent it Indians living two families per unit? Isn’t that what you posted? You make money off them.
There is definitely a change is the air concerning hiring. A good change. Maybe wages will go up.
Congrats, beancounter13!!! Best of luck on the job search!
All the best, Julie (originally from Chicago, now living near Ottawa but hoping to move back home)
Can you post a link? I'd be interested for sure.
Too bad my prime earning years were in the era of Globalisms heyday. I’d say I am short about a quarter to a half in lost wages over the decades.
True, I meant African immigrants.
No,that’s NOT what I posted.
I posted that I own a unit-—and in another sentence I said that they own their units.
You’d better get an eye check up.:-)

The drug problem is huge in the US. I lived in CO for ten years, and I have to say, I would almost be scared to drive on the streets there today. Legalizing drugs was incredibly stupid.
I think it is almost an existential problem that we may never understand while we are alive; historians will probably figure it out.
Still, at least we are all aware ... bigly ;) ... that there is a serious problem.
I contract for a very big bank in Boston. They celebrate Indian holidays more than American ones. I'm the only American on my project.
I had originally found this article while reading another article specifically targeting the DACA issue.
Anyway, seriously, best of luck. You've got hundreds of FReepers rooting for you! *fingers crossed*
Take care, FRiend. :)
As a recruiter, half of the candidates who respond to jobs I advertise are F1b visa holders. Very frustrating.
What,exactly,is an F1b visa?
