    H1b visa wasn’t designed for ppl to be on for 6 years.

    Shame on the democrats not prioritizing legal immigrants over the illegals

      Immigrants try to draw this distinction between legal and illegal immigrants, as if the people who are angry about illegal immigration aren’t also against the legal ones 😂
      The anger is partially at “invaders who have no right to be here”, but mostly at “foreigners who are changing MY culture and look different from my idea of America”.

      ^ this. They don’t realize it yet but you can absolutely be a citizen of this country and still have racists hate you and tell you to go back where you came from (even if you were born here). It’s disgusting. But what’s even sadder are the immigrants or POC who buy into the conservative rhetoric, because ultimately you’ll never be accepted by them.

    It's unfortunate whenever someone loses the battle against cancer. What's the problem with his family being sent back to India though? That's where they're from?

      I've generally seen that the natural born US citizens are generally more generous and sympathetic to immigrants seeing them as fellow human beings. It is the recent naturalized and green card holders (aka former immigrants) who are most hostile to other immigrants because they have a false sense of superiority that they have accomplished something big in their life. Not sure if @wayfair is which one.

  • “Narayanan moved to the US six years ago to provide his son better opportunities.”

    Therein lies the problem. The H1b visa is meant to bring in TEMPORARY alien workers to plug skill gaps. It is not an immigration visa to provide your son with “better opportunities”. You can do that in your own home country, especially since it is not at war.

  • This is truly unfortunate. Just another case of usa making it clear that Indians are unwelcome. I guess it's up to the Indians not to immigrate and not try to fix what will be broken by design

    • You don’t want to make the rules better, you want to change them to suit you. You’re importing the antics that made India hell for you - disregard for laws and intent... follow only laws that suit you, attempt to change the rest, abuse government officials who disagree with you... worked so well in India eh.

      I do not understand why you think a stranger has to explain their perfectly legal personal decisions to you. You can state your opinions without mocking others. You can't be asking some one why they love their home country less. Why do you think they owe you an explanation for that?

      If you are so against Indian immigrants then you need to be working with American law makers, not H1Bs who are using an opportunity which was proposed to them by Americans themselves.

    I mean no disrespect, but shouldn't he have planned something for his family after getting diagnosed with life threatening disease?
