Very sad to read the news about Indian immigrants being shot over their status as immigrants. FWIW, I worked closely with a variety of H1B Visa immigrants (IT, of course), was friends with an Indian Muslim name Mohammed (suprise!), and even participated in a protest he invited me to (the Jenin refugee camp incursion, some question about Israel's role in possible atrocities at the time, google will enlighten you), which I'm proud of.
I'm also not against all illegal immigrants. Many are contributing and want nothing but what I want: some economic stability, the ability live in dignity, a better life for their families. I'm fine with that.
But immigration as a whole needs to be reduced. I support deporting criminal illegal aliens, no question. Get them out.
Provide some path to citizenship for other illegal aliens. Not necessarily all.
No one will be deporting H1B Visa, High Tech workers. Trump is not a despot, and works legally within the boundaries of US law. Those laws seriously restrict his ability to mandate anything. Which I've told people about many times (they still panic).
I believe the era of mass immigration to the US is over. That is for a variety of Cultural and Economic reasons. If jobs that my peers used to do can be deported overseas, then I see no reason to import more people. Most IT jobs can be done from India, by Indians, who don't need residency in the US. It will be cheaper for Google, FB, Amazon, and the rest to do it that way, anyway. We don't need another Mobile App Startup Incubator. Those things are all tricks.
I see no reason why non-naturalized citizens of foreign nations need to matriculate at our Universities when the cost is so high. A select number of Diverse nationalities is healthy and good for education. A majority of people representing one or two racial groups, many if not most of whom will not stay in the US but take their knowledge with them, often to the PRC, an enemy of my Nation, is not healthy for the US. I see no reason to continue it. We, as a Nation-State, have every right, indeed obligation, to reduce their numbers in our Universities. They are not contributing any more at 30% of the student body than they do at 3%. All they're doing is driving up costs for other students. That's a negative impact of so-called 'High Tech' immigration. No one has proven to me that their education benefits me in any way, and I can't find any on my own. I'm not stupid or unable to research. They don't contribute to me, or more importantly, my kids.
Mexicans, Indians, Chinese, Africans, Persians, Arabs, and others need to solve problems in their countries. The solution to their problems is no longer to matriculate in US Universities, driving up costs, then residing in the US, abandoning their nation and fixing the problems there. Unstable nations in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East are now bringing their problems to the US. No thank you. I don't see a benefit any longer. Fix your problems in your nations.
Which brings up Islam. I'm not seeing the benefit to mass Islamic immigration. They have a serious problem within Islam that they have brought to the West. 'We' did not create their problems. But now, mass numbers of US Insitutions, and in the greater West, are promulgating the idea that we are the problem Muslims face.
First, that won't solve the problems for the children of refugees, as that's not correct.
Second, the narrative that the West is the cause of the World's Problems is corrosive to my civilization, and it needs to be stopped.
When certain segments of Western society begin to understand that Islam has, by fundamental nature, chosen a war with the West, and that was inevitable according to their Scripture, then we can move forward with embracing Progressive ideas. Until then, those ideas are dangerous to me, them, you, and everyone else. Hillary Clinton killed people with her false domestic narrative about how peace and harmony are going to win the day. They won't, unfortunately, and I am comfortable with my knowledge of History to make that determination, now.
It's regrettable that there are racists who will commit violence. Indeed, the majority of interracial violence is anti-white in this nation, without question or controversy, as a fact. Howeve,r these racists will always exist. Defending my country, in a legal and peaceful way domestically, and with terrifying and overwhelming violence abroad, is my intention. I have no need, in fact hate, racial violence against individuals. Which is a core belief of the US, and only about 12 nations on Earth, all in the West.
In every other nation, including India and China, racial violence is de riguer. India is racist, China is racist, and every nation on earth is racist except for the US, Canada, and Northwest Europe. So none of the other nations has anything to say to me, an American, about racism, at all. And any American who claims otherwise will increasingly be dismissed as more and more people learn what the world is like outside of our safe borders.
I intend to keep them safe, and Trump ran on that absolutely irrevocable resolve.
The age of immigrating to the West, especially the US, then cynically exploiting our Multiculturalism to prove I'm a bad person, my kids are bad people, is over. That's over now.
These are bigger issues I'm not wasting on reddit, though.
Have a good, and peaceful, day. Welcome to my nation if you are willing to assume an American way of life, and American beliefs.
