Up until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, Africans and Asians were forbidden from immigrating to the US. This immigration act(which is still followed) allows only a fixed quota for immigration from each country (China and India are banned from entering through this unless they can claim asylum). Now, the only legal method for an Indian is to either marry an american or get H1B sponsorship and hold on to it for 12 years to get a greencard. When I hear people talking about how they hate illegal immigrants and how people should immigrate here legally like their grandparents did, they conveniently forget that all their grandparents had to do was to board a ship with a passport and land at Ellis Island where they were given a greencard upon arrival(Many didn't even bring an ID card, hence the pejorative "Without Papers"). The only requirement back then was that you had to be a Caucasian. The entire debate on H1B seems to be based on the fact that employers are able to pay $80,000 for foreign worker rather than pay $120,000 to hire a native born american, And most people who are strongly against H1B seem to be unemployed software coders. I'm amazed that they'd rather remain unemployed than work for the same salary as a foreigner($80,000 is way more than what many of the taxpayers you mooch off of earn). To conclude, its really sad to see the extent people would stoop just to rationalize their race based prejudice. Almost all ethnic Indians(Including me) learn and speak English, assimilate very successfully with the American mainstream, support free market capitalism, work hard and believe in individual liberties and Republicanism, yet we still are hated by a section of american population because it pokes holes in their theory of dark skin equaling inferior intelligence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income

As much as we want everyone to be of the same color, believe the same god, follow the same culture and hold similar ideals, its never going to happen in the real world. Curtailing certain hate-speech to limit the number of people murdered in riots is better than allowing free speech and having a civil war in your hands. We do want immigrants to americanize when they land here don't we? I find nothing wrong in an american firm following local laws in order to harvest a profit from the second most populous country in the world. Thinking that our way of life is the most superior of them all is the biggest mistake we could make. Many civilizations that tried to act on this and tried to "civilize" the rest of the world have ended up collapsing.
