As a former H1 visa holder, this article interested me and shows the value that immigrants bring to the USA.
According to this opinion piece, the USA and specifically Santa Clara county is only the leader in tech because of immigrants.
In 1965, the Immigration Act of 1924 was repealed, opening the gates to immigrants and allowing a critical mass of technology companies to develop in clusters around Boston and Santa Clara County. A significant proportion of all the best graduates from the best schools in India (IIT) came to the USA -- in effect, the USA siphoned off India's best talent and used it to develop leadership in technology and to grow the economy.

I sure am glad you left to go back to your hell-hole country. I'm sure you're living the life of Riley now that you've got all those American dollars you can use to hire cheap-ass untouchables to wait on you hand and foot.
It sucks that you have ZERO gratitude for those opportunities WE gave you, and even come here to disparage the ones that gave it to you.
But, again, I'm glad you're gone. Please don't come back. So many foreigners like you are so horribly racist, it a real drag to see you.
I am a crackpot
