Senators Working on Bipartisan Bill to Allow More U.S. Visas for Indians

20. We could actually use a lot more Indian Americans in this country.

I'm personally in IT, and I would actually like to see a lot more citizenship opportunities for Indian Americans. I'm still for restricting temporary work Visas (except as a pathway to full citizenship) and against outsourcing. But if there are talented Indians in any profession, especially outsource-able ones, I think America should be recruiting them here for citizenship.

Here is how I look at it. First, Indian Americans are just Americans. Talented Indian Americans in this country just means America has more talent. Talented Indians in India means more job outsourcing. Indian Americans are probably as leery of outsourcing as any other Americans.

Second, Indian Americans grow and improve America's economy, because they are American consumers. They buy homes, services, and products right here in America. That is good for the housing market, and good for jobs.

Third, but not least important, Indian Americans are good people. It should go without saying if you have met or worked with them.

Fourth, they are heavily Democratic in their political leanings. Obama has about 85% support among Indian Americans now.

I'm against the Romney-style Republican capitalism that makes special loopholes in laws so that some businesses can more profitably outsource American jobs. But I'm for more Indian Americans in this country.
