Today, I am an Indian

Nice guys that ALREADY MAKE FAR MORE THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON



Why is it okay for machines to displace low-income workers in favour of high-income workers, but not okay for immigrants to displace high-income workers in favour of low-income workers?

My main beef with immigration is actually not economic, so I'm just teasing you.
I'm opposed to immigration of groups that are hostile to the native country, those
that show no wish to adapt to its customs and actively subvert the system. If
you make an effort to become a true American you're OK in my book.

KH is more American than most Americans.

[Ben Kenobi]

Hmm, I can't wait till I get my H1B Visa.

Welcome to America KH.

I plan to get others to watch hockey and eat poutine.

Maybe I should start a smoked meat shop.

Explain.

If and when I have kids they will only speak Canadian at houme.

I'm going to make sure all their schooulwork includes extrauneous 'u's and they know the proper way to pronounce 'zed'.

Either that or I'll change my name to Vikram and cook curry and naan in my apartment.

****ing Irish did it first.

Maybe even the Germans.

I guess that the Germans were at least white. Though they do have a funny way of speaking.

Welcome to America KH.

Two things:
1) You have not and will never qualify for H1-Bs. People with history degrees and no specialty do not become classified as someone in a specialty occupation. In general, people imported on H1-Bs are people with hard to find specialties -- stuff that's hard to staff locally. At my consulting firm most of the guys had H1-Bs to work in the US or Canada (which I didn't need, since I'm a dual citizen), but they were software developers specializing in financial services. People who tutor people dumb enough to not recognize they have a stupid tutor do not qualify.
2) You are not in America, so you cannot welcome people to it.

I'm sure employers are lining up to drop 10k on DHS and lawyer's fees to get Ben's incontrovertibly essential services.

[KrazyHorse]

Also, did Ben just "welcome" me to the US when I've been living here for over six years?

WTF is the matter with that kid?

I'm selling sarcasm detectors.

They paid 10k to get you a H1B visa?

You got robbed good sir.
