There is no information in the linked article. I would like to opinion of regular techies not some investor, not some vp or CEO or CTO or Mr Musk. Likes of Mr. Musk, lives in stratosphere. Regular techies at best live in rental apartment, paying 30-40% of his monthly income as rent, with no viable path to home ownership.
Do you know what discrimination means? This is literally discrimination. Yes, it is encoded in law, still is discrimination. Imagine this, next time you getting interviewed by someone, and he rejects you,because you are not chineese/Indian. Then you'll be discriminated and that would be acceptable, per law. I'm sure your definition of discrimination won't change then.
Appeasement is bad policy either you appease to Hindus extremist or Muslim extremists. Please don't undersell the BS of Hindu or regional extremism in India. In Mumbai, political powers hate and beatup north Indians. So please don't project the picture, that the glimpses of akhand bharatvarsh are pretty.
Question is, if Modi is culprit, why he is not in jail. Congress was in power for atleast 5 years or so, post Godhara. That's how the country is. There is no rule of law and for sure there was never rule of law for politicians). If you have lived in India, you would know there is no difference in Modi or Congress or anyone else. Politicians are gangsters. Modi has done what congress did early. Congress consolidated Muslim votes at the expense of Hindu sentiments, and Modi has done exactly opposite. He has consolidated Hindu votes at the expanse of Muslim sentiments. They are all same.
I wonder how was it possible (I mean where the courage stems from) that supposedly minority group can burn alive hundreds of pilgrims without thinking of consequences. How did kashmiri muslims assumed that there'll be no repercussions of kicking out Hindus from Jammu (oh they didn't leave due to minor inconvenience). The resentment wasn't build in a day(I believe Congress was ruling India in 1990). What did congress government do? Nothing. So to conclude, congress and BJP are equivalent.
I doubt it. On an average around 70% of seats are reserved (affirmative action) for lower caste students. The difference of admission cutoffs is like day and night. I wouldn't be surprise that people from upper caste don't feel particularly well, for being lawfully, indefinite discrimination.

How can you be certain to say that Americans don't want that. Both parties ( considering political parties are representative of public opinion) are pro immigration during the elections. Post elections, they simply change their stance.
Who decides H1B is predatory? Based on my personal experience,I don't think it is. H1B is boon for many people, who came here, got educated and started contributing to the local economy.
It appears your pro immigration stance is for people, who are less educated and more likely to provide cheaper non tech services. To summarize, your stance is not for pro or against immigration, but to serve your own interests like everyone.
That have been my experience as well. It requires too much of time dealing with non essential issues. Been doing Scala for spark development for a bit, but I get this vibe, that may be I should go back doing mundane Java or learning either Go/Rust.
Companies are exploiting because united states want them to. There is a reason why a group of people(mostly Indians) are kept into the state of limbo. The fake fraternity angle is BS. Even the immigrant communities(demonstrated from Iranian immigrants protest against S386) want to keep it this way, so few can get bigger pie at the expanse of other. Everyone needs to know and understand the truth behind the so called fraternity. Would an Asian/Indian/Chinese would get same kind of protection as compared to their white/black counterparts. I doubt it.
If you work at FAANG, they file immediately(and many more do, it's not a big deal). Are you aware for rest of world i-485 and i-140 can be filed concurrently.
Look at the work force in other business sectors. What do you see? Do you see competition? I think tech world have changed quite a bit post Covid (I might be wrong),health care cost is rising(irrespective of where one lives in USA, ), college education cost. There is no competition. The general consensus in American civil society after Bernie's defeat is, there is no need to keep majority of Americans healthy and educated. Sorry.
