India’s government is escalating its protests against the State Department’s new curbs on rampant visa fraud by migrant workers at U.S. embassies. “While we do understand … that visa-related issues pertain to the Sovereign Domain of any country, we have flagged those issues and our concerns of our nationals to the U.S. side, both in New Delhi and in Washington D.C.” an Indian government spokesman said on December 26. “There are several people who have been stranded in India for an extended period of time … These [delays] have also caused hardship to their families … and also to the education of their children,” he said. The “several” Indian workers are stuck

I know this article concerns the tech industry, but there are other categories of Indian immigrants. Our pastor is from India and a highly educated man from a successful family. Countries we once sent missionary priests to, are now sending missionary priests to us. He speaks English with that lovely Indian/British accent. His sermons are not only spiritually and intellectually stimulating; it's also just a joy to listen to him speak. None of us could pronounce his real first name, Arogyaiah, so he goes by Fr. Aaron. In his seven years with us he has also become fluent in Spanish in order to say Mass and hear the confessions of our Hispanic parishioners, and members of our mission church 40 miles out in the mountains. I've asked my friends how his accent works in Spanish. They all giggle but love him greatly. He is the only priest to serve our parish that has learned Spanish. All the others contracted out their Mass and confessions to Spanish-speaking priests. Another cool thing: the one Indian woman who has been a 40-year parishioner is from a town not far from where Fr. Aaron grew up, and his family still lives there. Small town life can be amazing sometimes.

Stupid pacts were entered into by elites without any consultation with the American people. Now, we are drowning in immigrants who have lessened both our quality of life and job opportunities.. We didn’t ask for them, we don’t approve of it and if Indian and other foreign nationals are inconvenienced the shoe may now be moving to the other foot. Build your own economy, India. Stop leeching off of the West.

Clearly the Government of India is attempting to protect their citizens. In that respect it is up to the US Government to also protect US citizens. If Indian citizens who are attempting to be admitted to the USA, or who gain either illegal or legal entry to the USA and commit criminal fraud they should be held to account either by being found to be inadmissible to the USA in accordance with the US Exclusion laws, or the US Deportation laws. There is no doubt that the Government of India would hold US citizens to account under their laws if US Citizens committed crimes that would cause them to be excluded from admission to India or be deported from India. No doubt there is some sort of human smuggling organization in action that has smuggled large numbers of Indian citizens into the USA and has facilitated them being issued commercial drivers licenses to drive long-haul 18 wheeler trucks on the Interstate Highways, through suspected fraud, that the Trump crew should by now have under criminal investigation. Clearly the Trump Administration should continue to protect US citizens by effectively enforcing the US Immigration laws against criminal and illegal aliens who originate in any foreign country.

We are sick and tired of foreign workers coming here and taking the jobs away from Americans who were born here, have lived here, and paid taxes for years. Companies who are hiring them should be fined and put out of business if they won't pay Americans to work for them.

The India visa consultants that provide low wage workers to companies in this country are upset because the new vetting process is cutting into their profits. They have gone to their government that profits from the remittances to protest that visas are taking so long to process now. The instant visas vetting was a joke, just like the vetting at our southern border under Biden.

The New York City Council has passed what has been called the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) that will force private building owners to offer up their property to nonprofits and government entities before they make any private sale, effectively causing massive delays in property sales and other regulatory hurdles in the Big Apple’s housing industry. In the scenario that it is passed, NYC will have the largest COPA program in the country. The act forces landlords to offer their property to the city as well as nonprofits before the building can be sold on the public market.

On Monday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced $50 billion in grants to all 50 U.S. states to be used for the sole goal of transforming health care in rural America. As the White House announced, the Rural Health Transformation Program was established through Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which President Donald Trump signed into law in July. This first-of-its-kind initiative represents the largest federal investment in rural health care in U.S. history.

A child care center licensed under Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration raised eyebrows by having a publicly listed phone number leading to Walz’s office. Sweet Angel Child Care in Minneapolis went viral Monday after X users pointed out that its phone number on Google Maps is the same as Walz’s office — and after YouTube creator Nick Shirley featured the building in a Friday video investigating whether several state-licensed businesses in Minnesota are legitimate. Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) records also show the day care kept its license despite numerous violations of state child care standards, raising questions about oversight of such businesses under Walz’s welfare bureaucracy.

Even as massive fraud schemes are uncovered in Minnesota, orchestrated primarily by Somali refugees, Democrats are circling the wagons. Refugees and asylum-seekers provide a substantial net benefit to the United States, they claim, generating more wealth than they take from the government. But that talking point is based on a federal study that was rejected in 2017 by the first Trump administration as methodologically unsound and preposterous in its conclusions. The study was resurrected and expanded by the Biden administration in 2024. Today, 73% of Somali households have at least one member enrolled in Medicaid, and 89% of Somali families with children participate in

Somali migrants are claiming that Minnesota’s economy would crash without them, even as the cost of Somali-run welfare fraud is growing on a weekly basis. Minnesota has been wracked with a series of massive welfare fraud cases, leaving Democrat governor and failed 2024 vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz reeling. Much of the multibillions in fraud has been perpetrated by Somali migrants, who first began pouring into the state in the 1990s. However, one state legislator is insisting that Minnesota would not be able to survive without Somalians. Democrat Minnesota State Sen.

WASHINGTON — A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to “questionable” rental assistance recipients during the final year of the Biden administration — including to around 30,000 “deceased tenants” and “thousands” of potential non-citizens, The Post can reveal. HUD officials said a “large concentration” of the suspicious payments went to New York, California and Washington, DC, with dead recipients getting at least some funds in all 50 states — in what federal officials are calling widespread abuse of taxpayers’ dollars under the Biden administration. “A massive abuse of taxpayer dollars not only occurred under President Biden’s watch, but

An independent journalist in Ohio has released a video investigation alleging extensive fraud schemes involving the misuse of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits within parts of the state’s Somali community, adding to broader scrutiny of welfare programs and oversight failures. The investigation, shared widely on social media and posted on X by the account @WallStreetApes, centers on neighborhoods in Columbus, Ohio. In the video, the journalist documents what he describes as a pattern in which Somali-owned restaurants are closely connected to grocery stores, allowing welfare benefits intended for household food purchases to be redirected into commercial operations.

Citing Board of Elections records, the Post reported that campaign donations included $18,000 from Soros in July 2024 and another $13,000 from his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, in May. Soros and his family also gave James another $40,000 dating back to 2019 for previous campaigns.
