> deserve I believe GP, myself and everyone else earned our job the hard way. We have never claimed we deserve it, we put in effort, competed in notoriously difficult hiring processes and got selected. Additionally, our employers have had to provide extensive documentation to the Department of Labor that no US citizen was eligible at the time of hiring - the laws are very strict and comprehensive about this. We are here, just like every other immigrant, to try and make a better life for ourselves and our families. After living here for 12 years, GP would have been a US citizen if he was born in any other country other than India or China. Unfortunately, being born in India is punished with an estimated[1] 83 years of very limited rights, almost zero liberty (no liberty to produce and publish art works, no liberty to join a band and sing at a local bar, no liberty to mine bitcoin at home, to host a youtube channel etc). GP and me also have to submit to a complete inspection by some USCIS officer every 3 years - and any offense, real or imaginary, can bar us from returning to the US at any time, without trial or even an explanation.
