Your example is irrelevant. H1B holders are not being mistreated at all. They are being treated fairly. They are coming in on a work visa, and when they no longer have work, they need to leave. Are you suggesting they should be given permanent residency just for getting a job? I'm sure you'll find that no country in the world does that.

If they are being treated fairly then that's one thing. Implying that if someone knew they are going to be treated unfairly then it is OK to treat them unfairly is another thing. Implying that some people of a particular race has done something bad, so it is OK to punish every person of that race, is well, racist.

  I agree. However, since H1B holders are treated fairly, it doesn't apply in your situation. It has nothing to do with race. You keep saying it's racist when it's not. The system is very fair, and especially fair toward people from India. You can't claim it's racist, you have no evidence, all the evidence points to it's very fair for Indians.

    It is not the system I have a problem with. It is your statement that all Indians must pay for the behavior of some (i.e., body shops). Also, your claim of Indian friend reminds me of [1].

      You're the racist here, accusing everyone of racism and lying about what they said when it's clearly written above. It's a sad way of living life but I guess some people can't live with the truth.

> They are coming in on a work visa, and when they no longer have work, they need to leave. This is not accurate, and the crux of my post. They need to leave when they no longer are able to find an employer willing to sponsor them for an H1-B and do all the paperwork. It would be much less of a problem if what you wrote was true, that the work visa meant they could stay as long as they were working.

  If they don't have an employer, they don't have work.
