Released after 24 exhausting hours in custody following an illegal arrest, and straight back to work because my family still depends on me. I will be taking legal action against the Metropolitan Police and Mayor of London over what I believe was unfair and continuous discriminatory treatment. I don’t want GoFundMe or handouts. I want to earn it. If you want to support me, come dine at the non-halal Indian restaurant Rangrez in Hammersmith. Support through community, not charity.

NEW: Students go nuts after donor announces during his commencement speech that he is paying off all of their senior year debts. Anil Kochhar and his wife decided to give the gift to all ~200 graduates in N.C. State's family. Kochhar is the son of Prakash Chand Kochhar, an immigrant from India who studied textile manufacturing in Raleigh. "My father found not just an education, but an opportunity that allowed him to build a life, support his family, and begin a legacy that continues today. And it will never stop, never," Kochhar said.

For perspective: each dot is American workers. The tiny yellow cluster are the H-1B workers <0.5% of the workforce. That’s what’s being framed as a ‘crisis.’ There’s no Indian takeover. There are no talented unemployed Americans being replaced. This debate is being driven more by emotion than by the actual numbers.

Exactly. At this point it would rather be better for all involved if US stops Immigration but treat those Legal Immigrants that has followed all the rules, contributed immensely to the Country, paid taxes, helped build Industries and create net employment gains with dignity, respect and clarity.

I think a vast majority of the responses to @SpeakSamuel show a lot. They show how much hatred people have for someone doing things the right way. They show a complete lack of understanding of our immigration law (especially AC21 and backlogs). And worst, they show a lack of human empathy for someone who is struggling predominately because of flaws of the Administrative State.
Sam Peak 🇺🇸💡@SpeakSamuel

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…

Indians don't respect Indians. A guy importing products from China came to us: China product: - USD8.50 = ₹1,100 Landed - 20,000 pcs MOQ - Advance payment - 75 days lead time Our SAME Desi product: - ₹950 ex factory - MOQ 5,000 pcs - Pay when goods ready - 2 weeks delivery When we offered our Bharat product, he laughed and said we are crazy. Mocked us by saying: - “How much you earn?” - “Give full breakdown” - “Give 60 days credit” - “What’s in it for me?” When he buys from China? No questions. Full respect. Happy advance payment. Deal done with a smile. With outsiders: we act like professionals. With our own: we act like vultures. Even when we get a much better deal. Suck every rupee. Question everything. Kill the deal. Then cry: “India me quality nahi hai.” Problem system ka nahi hai. Problem soch ka hai.

We also talked about how the WH built its entire political brand on the idea that it's tough on illegal immigration, but respects the legal kind. The data has now called that bluff —thanks to illuminating research by @David_J_Bier, showing 72% of cuts came from LEGAL pathways.

We asked them to risk their lives for us. They did. We promised to bring them here. We haven't. Now we're offering them the Taliban or the DRC.   I joined @MSNOWNews to talk about the 1,100 Afghan allies -- including 400 kids -- waiting to see if the US will keep its promise.

The state of legal immigration in the U.S.: Absolute chaos. -Employer-sponsored green card paths are tenuous. PERM is broken, with 15+ month adjudication times. NIW filings are surging, and I suspect EB-1A filings are too. -Family-based cases are facing more scrutiny. The country bans and adjudicative holds are taking their toll, and who is affected remains extremely confusing. -People with legitimate cases are paying filing fees while seeing little to no service rendered. Costs are rising for both practitioners and clients. -Immigration judges are being fired and replaced with inexperienced, politically favorable appointees. -The bright spots: litigation is working. O-1s are still moving. E-2s remain a viable path. But overall: legal immigration is becoming more expensive, more unpredictable, and more chaotic.

Open letter to Indians in America. -- Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat: Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way. Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned. You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict. Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect. Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself. As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal. Respectfully Sridhar Vembu

Shooting at malls. Shooting at bars. Shooting at schools. Shooting at rallies. Shooting on tourists. Shooting on diners. Shooting on babies. Shooting even at the President despite all the security. Drugs, Guns, and Crimes everywhere. And other countries are "Hellhole?" Right.

One overlooked but absurd issue with the birthright citizenship stuff: - Many Indian H-1B visa holders have already been sponsored for a green card, but must wait over a decade to receive one because of the per country caps. - Because they do not have green cards yet, the administration says their children wouldn't be eligible for birthright citizenship. The administration says that H-1B visa holders have not made the US their permanent home or primary allegiance, but green card holders have. This means that the cut off for whether somebody's child is eligible for birthright citizenship is simply the speed at which the government hands them a green card. An H-1B couple from a small country like Bangladesh can get their green cards quickly and have children be eligible for birthright citizenship. An H-1B couple from India can't get their green cards quickly and their children would not be eligible for birthright citizenship. This is all pretty arbitrary. Many Indian H-1Bs have been sponsored for a green card, lived in the US for a very long time and many already have purchased homes. They have quite literally "domiciled" in the United States to any extent that it matters. It just doesn't make sense.

It is not some "monkey-god." It's Lord Hanuman. What Wu Kong of China is a pale copy of. And yes, Indians are highly successful in the US and able to build such grand structures as much as unicorn startups. Btw, Ms. Hernandez, please work on illegal immigrants from your culture raping and robbing people in Texas rather than hard-working & law abiding successful Indians contributing to the economy keeping people like you employed. This lady and her buddy Tucker keep shilling for the Globalists, Islamists, and Communists in the US. But they keep attacking India and Indians. Including Indian Americans. Many say this is an example of China influenced GLISCO-DS elements in US media at work. They are all getting active as Chinese influence in the Americas and ME is fast fading. The recent surge of racism against Indians and attacks on Indian-Americans in the US was seeded by a sophisticated operation of China-Pak combine seeding hate and inciting MAGA to reduce India's influence in the US once Trump was elected. It has worked to some extent. Given it is not just fake MAGA accounts from Pak and China seeding the hate but such highly influential media people in the pockets of the Globalists, Islamists, and Communists. But this won't work for long.
