US CEO says H-1B Indians don’t commit crimes, are non-confrontational and Frisco, Texas is the safest place to live.
Texas-based businessman and CEO Ryan Stewman has commented on the H-1B visa program and Indian status in Texas, and said two months ago that he, too, was against the H-1B visa program. But he now believes that keeping Indians away from the United States will hurt the US economy because Americans do not study engineering or medicine.
The garage rant comes at a time when Indians, specifically in Texas, are facing a great deal of hatred for what Americans refer to as “the takeover.”
Stewman said he voted for President Donald Trump and stood for America first, but for America to win, Indians don’t need to be kicked out of Texas.“They say there’s been a mass invasion of the tech corridor. There’s a lot of fraud. But there’s a lot of fraud within any community. There’s no culture that’s exempt from fraud.”
There are just different types of fraud. So the president listened and changed the H-1B guidelines. We’ve seen layoffs in technology and a lot of AI has replaced these people’s jobs. “Which means that in the next 60 days if they don’t get sponsorship from someone else, those Indians will have to come back to India,” Stewman said, referring to the recent layoffs affecting Indians in the US.
“All over the internet, I see people cheering this on. Well, first of all, Americans aren’t going to go to engineering school and become doctors.
By and large, they go to school for studies like gender studies or how to have a septum with blue hair piercing hair on top of that,” said Stewman, criticizing the Americans.“I live in Frisco, Texas, and the Indians never commit any crime. It’s the safest place to live. They’re nonviolent and nonconfrontational. They can’t drive but other than that, they’re good people. So I see people saying, ‘Let’s kick the Indians out, and then housing will be affordable.'”
Well, first of all, these people who are here on H1B visas, they often make six figures a year. So, if you are poor, you still cannot afford it [a house] He noted that even when they were gone.
This was in reference to reports of housing prices falling as H-1B visa holders move out of the country.“You want affordable housing, so you want poor people. Which poor people tend to commit more crimes? So you want to employ people who have a net positive impact on the community and who don’t commit any crime. You want to evict them and risk that poor people will come and buy their homes and won’t commit crimes,” he said.
