No, it's not almost the same as what you said. There were no tickets to "buy up". These people didn't prevent people from attending, they made it seem like way more were attending than there were.

That's due to how it was "reported" by some outlets.
From what I could tell it was definitely a concerted effort, so I don't find it hard to believe that their planning accounted for thousands of people showing up to the event that never intended to be there. I mean, they're no strangers to bold-faced lies and clearly covid had an effect as well. But they were clearly planning for activities outside of the arena for people who couldn't get in and the arena wasn't even half full, leading to them canceling his speech outside since he would have been talking to no one.
Id tell everyone to get their friends that are citizens to vote for NOT trump.
Isn't it just affecting new applicants?
I may not like Indians but I'm against this and hate that they're being punished for Trump and his supporters' racism and need to blame others for their own issues.
Well, yes and no. It affects people who are not in the US the most. But H1B is issued for a maximum validity of 3 years only, and you can only renew it twice, unless your GC application is approved and you are on the waitlist (waitlist for indians is 15 years or so). So if you fall into the latter catagory, where GC is approved and are on the waitlist, you still have to keep renewing the visa every 3 years.
You sound like an Indian...
I think a lot of indians who previously supported Trump are now going to alienate him. A lot of them didn't like Democrats negligence on addressing the issues like GC waitlist and loved Trump's idea of removing country-wise quota and merit based GC visa. Numbers suggested that'll push down the wait time from 15ish years to 1 or 2 years. I am sure those people will not support him either, but i dont see big name democrats condeming this either....
I don't know anyone who'd vote for him... Through work, i knew some people who did but they changed their tune within a couple of months since he got elected, everyone agreed they were wrong too.. but i live in a bubble called silicon valley, completely disconnected from the real america...
why wouldn't it hold up, its an executive order (not a law), and they can limit visas and all as they already do, or delay processing.
Lawfully you are right. But logically, a lot of these people will willingly go to other nations, or back to their home nations. The best of the best come to the states from everywhere. A lot of indian startups have succeeded from engineers who didnt get lucky in their lotteries. NZ has had talks about opening a big tech park, Sydney already is trying to do the same and Canada as well. Top CEOs have also spoken against it.
That's an insult and uncalled for
I do get surprised when people from Indian parents/or asian ones, or even their parents vote for Trump or even republican in general.That's an insult and uncalled for
I'm not sure if the Trump supporting Indians will be alienated, I feel like another run of anti-Pakistani ads will be enough for them to keep supporting him. Dunno if the Dems will, but I hope they're smart enough to know that internationals are necessary for the economy, if nothing else.
haha, birds of the same feather....
That is true, we can easily sway away....

Its not surprising voting republican honestly, specially for the indians here. i read somewhere that indians were overwhemlingly republicans pre Bush / Obama era. But since i have been in this country 2008, most people except those who came here during Clinton time are republican supporters.
Not surprising as many Indians don't like taxes, or care about Trump's rhetoric as they believe they're not affected.
But aren't you Indian?
Literally, the only two pro-Trump ads (one was actually anti-Hillary) were about Pakistan. Hillary's aide was pro-Pakistan in one ad, hence why Hindus should have voted for Trump, while the other ad talked about how Trump would crack down hard on the country. Soured tf out of me when it came to Indians. Dinesh D'Souza is such a shithead.
I didn't know he is anti pakistan... pro I Modi, yes..... but you can't make that into anti-pakistan....
well, indians hate indians too.... nevermind, bad joke...
Hillary did provide aid to Pakistan as the secretary of defense, but questioned the decision later on whether it was a good thing. Even John Kerry did later.
the largest hospital system in the United States (Houston TX) is out of beds [21 hospitals]...he raced to open for some strange reason.
