India: It’s Time For Them To Go Home

Ahh, Grok, we hardly knew ye. (All memes as-found)

Back in the day, immigration was generally thought of a net positive:  a handful of skilled folks from Western Europe (mainly) added to the American culture.  An Irishman?  Sure, we could turn one of those into an American, given three generations.  The most Irish thing about most Irish who came over after they ran out of French fries in 1845 is that they like booze, Lucky Charms and fighting other Irishmen when there aren’t any English around.

Also hating the English?  Indians.

In 2025 the unchecked influx of Indian migrants, particularly through the H-1B visa program, has turned into an economic and social dumpster fire for the West in general and the United States in particular.  Don’t get me wrong:  just like you, I’ve met a few decent Indians.  And, a few (as in less than 0.1% of the population) is probably an okay number for a population in the country.

Probably.  And, no, I’m not going to apologize for wanting a say as to who we want to let into our country because right now, it’s a mess.

You realize that you’re the actual minority, right?

But the broader picture?  America has hit Indian Fatigue.

From H-1B fraud to cultural clashes, the costs are piling up, and I’m seeing lots of signs that Americans are done with Indians.

Why is this “invasion” bleeding the economy and why is the backlash boiling over?

First, the H-1B visa program is a rigged game.

Indian nationals make up 72.3% of H-1B visas, totaling 386,000 Indians in 2023.  Fraud (this is a theme that we’ll return to) is rampant.  Companies like Infosys and Mu Sigma have been fined for systemic visa abuse.

How bad was it?

But, hey, diversity is great, right?

Infosys (CEO Salil Parekh, a fine Irish name) paid a $34M in 2024 to settle allegations of using B-1 visas to sneak in cheap labor, dodging H-1B rules to undercut American workers.  This was a penalty that was set by the pro-immigration Biden administration.  That’s like Stalin telling the KGB, “Hey, don’t go to hard on Trotsky, I can take a joke.”

Three Indian origin men, Kishore Dattapuram, Kumar Aswapathi, and Santosh Giri pled guilty in 2024 to H-1B fraud and rigging lotteries with fake job offers.  They went to jail.  But it also proves that it isn’t just a few bad companies and individuals, this is a pattern endemic to Indians attempting to exploit the American economic system.

And you’re paying for this with the tax breaks those companies (who are not all run by Indians, I must add, get.  Firms get deductions for visa-related legal fees and training costs, incentivizing them to bypass Americans for foreigners.  The U.S. tax code rewards this betrayal, leaving qualified Americans jobless while corporations pocket the savings.

Let’s repeat that again:  the government is incentivizing companies through tax breaks to bring in cheaper labor to replace qualified Americans.

Thankfully, they had great third quarter, 2014 profits.

But that’s not all.

Many hiring practices are outright fraudulent.  Companies hide job listings behind opaque systems or fake “internal” postings to favor H-1B candidates.  A website, Jobs.Now (LINK), has driven Indians crazy.

How?  By finding and posting thousands of jobs meant for H-1B Indians that were previously hidden.  How were they hidden?  Here’s one way:  Let’s say a nationwide company has a jobs page on their website or a presence on LinkedIn®.  If I was looking for work, I might go there and see that there’s only one job available.

I’d be as Ghandi if all he had to eat was a bacon cheeseburger.

But in some tiny newspaper in the middle of BFE, the company puts out a want ad.  This ad isn’t meant to be seen by anyone nationwide, rather, its sole purpose is to be “proof” that the company looked for an American.  The idea is that only their preferred Indian candidate will know about the opening and the very specific procedures and job code to apply.  Then, bang, the company has proof that no qualified American exists and they can hire Poojeeta Ramdash whose uncle runs the division.

Jobs.Now (LINK) has exposed this, sparking thousands of Americans to apply for roles illegally reserved for foreigners by companies who want to hire Indians.  So far, tens of thousands of applications have gone in for these jobs in the last month.  The tears are glorious, since with (sometimes) hundreds of qualified Americans applying for the role, the company can’t fill it with their pet Indian.  Jobs.now is claiming to, right now, be stopping 25% of applications by Indians for permanent status.

I’m so sad for them.

And if the Indians don’t get permanent status?

They have to go home, they don’t pass Go, they don’t collect a green card, and they don’t bring in dozens of their relatives through chain migration.  Stopping one stops 20, and saves millions in public expenditures.  The number of Indians here legally has jumped from a bit under 2 million in 2000 to nearly 5 million in 2023, but is still less than 0.3% of Indians.

There are literally infinite Indians that could be imported, and (based on a LinkedIn® poll) 75% of Indians want to move to the United States.  That’s over a billion Indians that want to move here.  What would America look like if they moved here?

It would look like India, because their culture brings corruption.

Again, during Biden’s time in office, a federal jury found Cognizant guilty of discriminating against non-Indian workers, favoring Indians to cut costs and because they’re hiring their own.  This locks Americans out of their own job market.  This is a scam.

Wanna guess what nationality the CEO is?

Yup.  Indian.

That’s not enough:  there’s also the economic leeching.  Many H-1B workers cram nine to a two-bedroom apartment, driving up rents in tech hubs like San Francisco, where median rent hit $3,700 in 2025.  Do the math:  9 Indians in a $3700 apartment is about $400 a month.  The H-1B scammers send earnings back to India, with over $100B in remittances sent to India annually.  This drains local economies.  Some even exploit food banks meant for the poor.

This turns American cities into overcrowded, overpriced dystopias the Mumbai of Maryland, perhaps, or the New Delhi of Delaware.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Illegal employment is another gut-punch.  Take the Indian CDL driver, the reportedly illegal alien Indian truck driver, who killed an entire American family in this week.  California gives away CDL licenses to non-English speakers and enabled this tragedy.

Thanks, Gavin.

The Indian driver’s chilling indifference reflects a broader issue:  Indians don’t care about you and expect you to die while they take the place over.  The cultural mismatch is the kicker.  India’s caste system and “cleverness without morality” culture are at fault.  Con-man tactics are celebrated both in their culture and in their religion and clash with America’s high-trust ethos where following the law is the norm, not an aberration that only happens when people are watching.

And why not?  I’m sure the driver thought his caste put him above the insignificant lives that he took through his negligent driving.  The caste system promotes this “superior yet servile” attitude.  Indians are smug when in power, yet grovel when not.

America has noticed this.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s X® feed looks like he’s in hostile territory since his infamous Xeet© of December, 2024, which is at the bottom of this post where he tells Americans that they’re lazy and should be replaced.

My estimate is that over 95% of the responses to Vivek’s Xeets are negative against him and many are quite personal.  Vivek is slammed as “insincere”, a business scammer, “non-American,” and he’s accused of pandering for power.  And I think they’re right.

Americans see through the “merit” myth.  India’s GDP per capita ($2,400 vs. U.S. $81,000) exposes a culture that can’t build prosperity at home yet demands access to America’s wealth and high-trust culture.

The backlash is real.  And it’s growing.  I don’t think we’re even close to peak Indian Fatigue.

The first step is noticing.  The time to shut the pipeline, prioritize Americans, and stop the bleed is now.  Apply for a few jobs at JOBS.NOW (LINK) to stem the tide.

Or?

We’ll all have our chance to warm our hands at the dumpster fire.
