Is it actually Groypers? Or are Americans starting to just get angry at the fact that American companies continually keep laying off American workers and importing H1B workers to take their places due to the tax advantages? Is it that far fetched that millenials are going to start being angry at Indians and taking it out on Indians online when they can't find any jobs while companies continually keep outsourcing to India?

The entirety of H1B workers is like 500k jobs, which isn’t even half a percent of all jobs. Why is this such a big deal to Groypers and the like? I also disagree on tax advantages - what specifically are you referring to? H1B workers are paid more on average, not less, and they cost companies a lot in time, legal costs, and fees.

But besides that, once someone is a citizen I feel strongly they’re no different than the rest of us. Directing hateful supremacist comments at American citizens based on their skin color or religion or national origin is completely antithetical to our constitution and values.

It’s not “just 500K” jobs. It’s a pipeline of hiring managers who set up outsourcing to their home countries at the expense of Americans, and this doesn’t change when they naturalize. Immigration is a tool for supplementing the deficiencies of your home country with outside assistance. In America’s case, immigration has been weaponized by both the left and right. The left wants to settle the entire Global South in western countries at the expense of never building the countries where people have to immigrate from. The right scapegoats immigrants for whatever issue ails them. Should there be incentives for creating businesses in America that support work that gets outsourced? Definitely. Will that happen while there is a preserve incentive offered by H1Bs and biased hiring managers? Of course not.
