Conservatives want America to be a white country. But they also want to exploit high tech workers from India and East Asia. Could a new form of apartheid be the solution?

My friend Kyle Bobby Cletus Smith had a hard time wading through the India House menu. His face went ashen when trying to understand the korma this and shawarma that. This is America, he said, wiping a tear, how do they get a completely different chicken?, called “tandoori”…. I guess

I don't think high-tech workers from India are being exploited as they drive home from work to their Silicon Valley gated communities of mansions in Silicon Valley in their Mercedes'.
Farmer workers are another problem with this mass deportation program.Deport them and crops will die on the vine.
Retired IT here. They aren't even exploiting H1Bs. They come to the US, get the job, and take the job back to Asia. Only 3% stay in the US. Most of the jobs get offshored. Why would US kids want to go into IT nowadays?
I mean, it’s a pitch or joke sure. But I watched a bunch of further leftists calling H1B workers “scabs” and “wage slaves” this week. Kinda depressing when the left starts resorting to “Dey terk er jerbs” memes, and are completely serious about it.
Wouldn't be a "new" thing at all. Look at all the walled communities in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere for the foreign "contractors" for everything from jet fighter maintenance to healthcare.
My grandfather was an ambassador to India and I grew up playing with the elephants my grandmother collected. My grandparents loved it there. Regardless of the affection I grew up with, I find the exploitation by Elon Musk concerning. His rhetoric is sneaky and DOGE will be deceiving like a snake
hissing page numbers of bills in Congress and page numbers of tax code because Americans are often too lazy to care what the small page number version even says. Elon capitalizes on American ignorance and lust for entertainment in exchange for power, trillions of dollars and seemingly an apartheid.
“Conservatives who want America to be a white country and the Indian and East Asian high tech workers don’t see eye to eye on much, but they both agree with Donald Trump that black people are eating pets and ruining our small towns.”
An art gallery in deep blue Carmel-by-the-Sea might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters, but over the light chatter of Steinbeck novels you can hear a whisper that Biden is the reason Thomas Kinkade paintings now cost over $400.
That’s what these rich white fucks want. Cheap labor and being able to threaten workers and send them back, over hiring and paying Americans a good wage.
In this dust-caked gas station 100 miles away from Vegas, it was tradition - couple quarters in the juke, stale hot dog, and doing the anatomically impossible to one’s face. But now H1B holders are trying to take that away.

They and Sinclair/Smith own media companies that espouse their world views. They don’t value real journalism. It’s their portfolios.
They either capitulated to a maniacal autocrat who demands loyalty or are themselves proponents of class warfare.

Indentured servitude where you can’t leave the company that sponsored your work visa. Captive.
Deprives citizens of jobs of the future. India and Asia are targeted.
Next they will bring back the Company Stores.
She’s a US citizen now, but don’t let that stop the anti-immigrant racism.
This reference is about the Musk fight with MAGA over his personal policy preferences, not about immigration or H-1B in any way.
Have they tried the India caste system?
We hear its all the rage.
