@splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network My Indian neighbor is an extremely highly educated engineer. His wife is also in a high-level technical field. Very articulate, very cultured folks. Pleasurable to be around. He's always out in his front yard with a telescope checking out celestial bodies and sometimes we hang out.

My only argument against foreigners is the non-reciprocity of work visas. It infuriates me that we have so many foreigners here working on visas yet I would never be able to go to their country to live+work since it's a one-sided relationship. USA lets anyone in, but their respective countries strongly protect their national labor. I'm mostly referring to Europeans, but it could be anyone---India, too. Even Canada. If we had 1:1 agreements in place and I had the same opportunity to go to their country to live/work as they have to come to my country to live/work then it would not bother me. But, I don't blame them nor am I angry at them---I'm angry at my country for allowing this one-sided arrangement (probably at the behest of capital). @iska@catposter.club
