Thanks ushtaritk. The problem is, Indians can’t create an America. What they create is an India, and they will, inevitably, in America also. And that’s a shame.
97% of the population of the United States has family trees that immigrated into America less than 500 years ago. We're all bringing parts of our culture with us. We're all creating America together. That's what America is.

There are exceptions to everything. But only native-born US citizens are eligible for some jobs, e.g. in the military. Other countries may be even more particular and require your parents to be natives too. This is not discrimination but plain old common sense. What foreigner or foreign-adjacent person can really be trusted? If there is an exception to be made, the trust extended must be minimal.
> But only native-born US citizens are eligible for some jobs, e.g. in the military. There are exactly two jobs where that is required, and only one is kind-of in the military, in that it is legally the apex of all military chains of command. (There are other security-related, especially in the military, jobs where actual or potential dual citizens, the latter more commonly being an issue when people have foreign bor…

Actually, as a hiring manager, you can't discriminate between whether someone is a U.S. Citizen or an H1B. So in reality, you're going through a stack of applicants in order. If your HR group puts a bunch of H1B's in front of a citizen candidate, that's it. So no, your assertion that there is an implicit "there is no American we can hire to fill this" is false. We can't even consider that.
Sounds crap. Also, what hiring manager is letting HR decide in what order their candidate pool is meritorious? HR can barely judge a local talent contest let alone someone's ability to undertake skilled work. If I say to my HR that a candidate needs to know Python with environmental experience I'm just as likely to have a candidate put forward who was a wildlife carer 20 years ago since they handled pythons as I am t…
Now, was I misinformec by an HR person during my time as a hiring manager? Maybe. But guess what, I didn't control their pipeline, and I had work to make sure got done. I'll definitely be adding HR people to my list of groups to talk to when interviewing companies interested in hiring for a hiring manager position though, because the sheer amount of hell that experience came with was beyond unreasonable.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with this. If anything, we should change the law to encourage much more high-skill immigration
This isn't a question pro/against immigration, this is a question of did Tata break existing laws protecting domestic labor. > If anything, we should change the law to encourage much more high-skill immigration. I don't think any reasonable person would argue argue against importing highly skilled laborers to increase GDP per capita, that is, to fill a genuine labor shortage that domestic supply cannot fill within a…
