Technically, I'm brown and full blooded Indian. Born in Houston back when there were very few Indians in the community so I'm an American.
But I guess that doesn't matter. Should I be one that "has to go?"
I'll tackle this one, even though it's not easy.
Surely you can understand that this is a micro/macro issue.
Yes, individual immigrants and their families are often fine, outstanding people who contribute to their communities and the nation as a whole.
But when their numbers swamp the existing citizenry, they are no longer "fitting in." They are changing the very fabric of the community and eventually chasing off or crowding out those who have a long history of being American. And that's especially so if the immigrants come from a clannish culture.
The evidence is very clear that Indian immigrants have overwhelmed many of the suburban areas across the US in less than two decades. The sheer numbers suggest fraud and collusion, both in terms of their immigration legality and the jobs they hold.
And the boldness with which many new immigrants mock Americans and American traditions hasn't helped. It should come as no surprise that there is a rapidly growing backlash. Just the other day I read about the Indian CIO at Arizona State -- which graduates 1,000 computer science majors a year -- hiring H1B visa holders to fill IT positions at the university.
Does that seem right to you? It does to her, and many of her fellow countrymen/women, because it is happening everywhere.
I would imagine that people in India would not be pleased if Americans arrived by the thousands each year and began buying up the country, taking all the jobs and changing the culture of communities in a couple of decades.
