If 80% of the people that work in your location are from India, what should that tell you?

I work in a building of more than 1,000 people. Something like 80% of them are from India. This is in metro Dallas. My workplace, to quote Obama, "Doesn't look like America". It looks like India. This is strange. What gives? I have heard some of the few Americans that do work there tell me that they feel like they are being "managed out". I was brought in as a contractor because they had a very hard time finding someone with experience of a certain system that I happened to have.
 
This is basically just abuse of the H-2B visa program and it’s pretty common in technology business. It’s much cheaper to pay an employment agency to bring people over here from India on a contract basis than to hire real American employees.

That tells me your building is not diverse enough. They need to hire more blacks and Hispanics.

I have made it a point find out which skills are prevalent IN INDIA and made it a point to be proficient at things NOT on that list. I believe that has saved my bacon.

There is a black guy on our team and he is absolutely unproductive.

That not enough Americans are willing/able to get the degrees and/or work for the offered money.

Maybe you lack the leadership qualities to rally your team together.
 
Didn't know Indians couldn't be Americans.

I'm just a contractor as I stated before. I don't lead anybody, but I'm an open book on my knowledge to anyone who asks.

Not able to afford the schooling and not able to afford to work for such low pay even if they can afford school.
If we invest in educating vast quantities of able youth now, we can start trimming the H-1/H-2 arrivals and replace them with our own.
 
I got a kick out of learning that SDET has to work with a bunch of brown people he can't pay to have sex with

According to the Democratic Party, we should allow at least 500,000,000 more people here from India. The Democratic Party claims the more immigrants there are, the better it is. Ideally, 5 billion more immigrants will come here according to the Democratic Party.

If we change those the Chinese immigrants we can remove China as a threat... "immigrate to win" should be the motto.
