    > He said the program has created income inequality because the annual median income for Indian-American families was more than $150,000 in 2023, higher than the median income for other racial groups. Median household income for all Americans was $82,690 in 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

    I love that the racists who attack the H1B program simultaneously complain that some racial groups earn more than their own white group, and also that the same racial groups are somehow just low cost labor meant to replace Americans. Their brains cannot acknowledge the most basic contradictions in their worldview.

    Also the anti immigration “activist” this article casually mentions is absolutely deranged:

    > Palasciano said he found it suspicious that there was a growing number of small businesses in Frisco owned by people of Indian origin employing Indian H-1B workers, especially in light of Paxton’s investigation.

    > “There’s potential visa fraud here,” Palasciano said.

    He literally sees a business employing nonwhites and thinks there is fraud. Textbook racist. His Twitter posts are even more unhinged and conspiratorial:
