Hundreds of Marines are being dispatched to Los Angeles to help quell the anti-ICE riots there, leading President Donald Trump to assure Americans that the situation is "now heading in the right direction."
Over the weekend hundreds rioted, burning cars and throwing rocks as federal officers who were making arrests in connection with criminal cartel cases, not issues involving illegal immigration.
The Washington Examiner reported sources said about 500-700 Marines from nearby Camp Pendleton would be tasked with protecting federal property and personnel.
And, the report noted, various government officials explained to the Wall Street Journal that the Marines were being assigned to assist law enforcement in the city.
"An official speaking with the Wall Street Journal suggested that the Marines would not be directly engaging with protesters. The Marines, like the National Guard members already stationed in the city, cannot arrest protesters unless President Donald Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, with the president saying roughly an hour before the deployment that he did not consider the protests an insurrection, a reversal of a comment he made the night before that those protesting were 'paid insurrectionists,'" the report said.
Trump said the situation now appears to be "well under control."
"I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction," he said.
The report noted the situation developed on Friday, and since had "spiraled out of control."
Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier reacted to the idea of having Marines suppress violence in the city with the commented it was "deranged."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said riots and attacks on ICE facilities and federal officers actually were a national security threat.
"The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles," he said in a post on X at the time. "And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert."
Fox News reported the addition of the Marines followed Trump's dispatch of about 2,000 National Guardsmen to the riot-racked city over the weekend.

It's no secret that massive layoffs are currently devastating American workers. While industries across the spectrum are affected, from retail to manufacturing, the hardest-hit area is America's tech sector, with companies from Amazon to Microsoft to Meta cutting hundreds of thousands of jobs, over 23,400 tech jobs cut in April alone.
While automation and AI are conveniently blamed, hardcore reality comes into view when companies routinely cite "cost-cutting" and "corporate restructuring" – phrases that are often euphemisms for laying off American workers while hiring more foreign workers at lower wages.
At the same time, the government of India is openly celebrating the launch of its latest scheme to supercharge the export of Indian workers to the U.S. and other "high-income economies." Its goal is to facilitate the global mobility and employment of millions of migrant Indian workers directly at the expense of jobs for Americans.
Not just immigration, but a global labor-export campaign
India's "Global Access to Talent from India" initiative, or GATI, launched May 6, was personally championed by India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and other officials who essentially describe it as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redirect jobs, wages and even long-term industry trends away from Americans and into the pockets of India's government, its outsourcing giants and their international partners.
Calling this a "now or never" moment, India warns that the window of demographic advantage could close as competition mounts from African nations, the Philippines, Indonesia, Egypt, Vietnam, and Brazil, all vying for their own share of the global labor market.
Referring to a November 2024 think-tank report by two India-based entities, which projects a "global labor gap" of 45-50 million jobs in high-income countries by 2030, GATI sees a huge opportunity to flood foreign markets with its mass population to enter the global workforce. The document outlines a goal of doubling or even tripling the annual outflow of Indian workers, aiming for a "potential stock" of millions of Indian migrant workers overseas.
But the ambition doesn't end there. India is positioning itself as a "geostrategic partner" for major economies, hoping to be recognized as the world's "trusted migration partner" and rebranding its citizens as a global "talent brand." GATI predicts that this "talent gap" could expand dramatically over the next two decades.
Behind this bold new push, India has developed a structured and aggressive multi-horizon strategy to unlock its overseas labor potential. Through a combination of diaspora influence, bilateral negotiations, demand-side positioning, skill alignment, and financing mechanisms, India calls for a "whole-of-nation" effort to coordinate the mass movement of workers abroad, treating its citizens as a strategic export. At the same time, Jaishankar demands that destination countries eliminate their own protections and reshape their laws to accommodate this outflow.
This is not about mutual benefit, but about using foreign labor markets to solve India's unemployment and economic growth crises.
Outbound movement, remittance inflow
Thus, by its own admission, GATI has engineered a massive, state-backed campaign to export Indian labor on a scale never before seen. This isn't just about creating new job opportunities for Indians, it's about systematically opening foreign markets, expanding India's labor supply, and building a permanent ecosystem that channels workers – and wages – out of America and into India. According to a leader of one of the report's contributors, the India-based Boston Consulting Group, India's labor exports could grow to as many as 2.5 million workers per year.
Reality check: This is not a workforce solution for the United States. Indian officials publicly celebrate the higher wages their workers earn overseas, calling it "transformative" for India's economy, while U.S. companies line up to replace Americans with cheaper, more compliant foreign labor. The result is a hollowing out of America's middle class, not a win-win for both countries. What's unfolding in America is not an isolated series of layoffs, but rather a deliberate, top-down overhaul of the U.S. labor market, designed by Indian policymakers, embraced by corporate America, and propelled by relentless lobbying for ever more visas.
In fact, the GATI Foundation openly targets $300 billion in annual remittances, money siphoned from American paychecks and communities, to be spent and invested back in India. India's leaders make no secret of their endgame to use public-private partnerships to streamline recruitment, training, and job placement for Indian nationals, maximizing remittance flows and strengthening India's economic influence abroad.
These remittance inflows have become a critical pillar of India's economic strategy, pumping billions back into the country every year. Through GATI, India now aggressively markets itself as the world's "reliable labor supplier," positioning outbound migration as a strategic national asset.
Unfortunately, the true impact of all this is that every job handed to an Indian guest worker is one lost to an American family. Through the GATI Foundation's deep network of corporate partners, India is lobbying for looser visa rules and making Indian worker preference the "new normal" in major U.S. industries. Meanwhile, American companies are increasingly outsourcing everything from recruitment to training directly to Indian partners, ensuring that foreign nationals fill key roles while qualified U.S. citizens are left behind.
Thus, at its core, the GATI Foundation's blueprint is not about helping Americans or remedying genuine labor shortages, but about exploiting loopholes in U.S. immigration policy and leveraging global labor narratives to cement India's rise, at the direct expense of the American workforce.
The real agenda behind 'Global Talent Shortage'
The GATI Foundation was created to exploit what India calls a "demand-supply mismatch" in global labor markets. Citing projections that labor shortages in high-income countries could reach 250 million in 25 years, India pitches itself as the answer, if only Western nations open their doors to millions of Indian workers. The GATI Report frames this supposed crisis as an economic certainty, pushing the narrative that countries like the U.S. and Europe must ramp up labor migration or face disaster.
But this narrative falls apart on closer inspection.
These "shortage" projections ignore millions of Americans and Westerners who have been forced out of the workforce by layoffs, offshoring, and corporate cost-cutting. The "labor gap" is little more than an accounting trick, counting open positions that employers refuse to fill at fair wages and normal working conditions. Instead of investing in local workers, companies push for visas to import cheaper labor. And India stands ready to supply it.
The contradiction is glaring: GATI and its supporters claim automation and "Gen AI" are both eliminating jobs and creating labor shortages at the same time. It's a manufactured crisis, a narrative designed to benefit global corporations and foreign governments, but not American families.
In truth, India's campaign isn't about filling genuine labor gaps, but about lobbying for new visa categories, higher caps, and direct government-to-government deals to force open "mature" markets like the U.S., UK, Canada, Germany, and Japan. The GATI Report itself concedes that in these countries, mass inflows are possible only if their governments change laws and visa policies, not because the market demands it, but because India's lobby demands it.
After all, if there truly were a dire worker shortage, existing visa programs would be flooded with qualified applicants, and positions would fill quickly. Instead, India is manufacturing demand by lobbying for new pathways and is using its diplomatic muscle to export its unemployment crisis and the "remittance gold rush" that comes with it into Western economies.
As detailed in India's own 2024 Employment Report, India's job creation is not keeping pace with its exploding youth population. Far from being a demographic advantage, this so-called dividend is a growing liability, with millions of educated young Indians unable to find work at home.
But Jaishankar and the rest of India's leadership are not merely describing labor trends; they're demanding permanent, government-backed pipelines to move Indian workers into foreign markets, shifting the costs and consequences onto the United States and its citizens. The so-called "global talent shortage" is not a fact of economics, but a tool of policy propaganda crafted to dismantle labor protections, depress American wages, and entrench the power of foreign governments and multinationals, all at the expense of the American worker.
The skills Mirage: India's talent shortage cover-up
India promotes its vast, English-speaking workforce as the solution to the so-called global talent shortage, marketing the GATI scheme as a direct pipeline of world-class professionals. In truth, GATI is engineered to move as many people abroad as possible, papering over the persistent problems of quality, skills and employability that continue to plague India's workforce. Leaders like Jaishankar champion "skill development" and "global mobility," but India's own data reveals the reality: Fewer than half of Indian postgraduates are employable by international standards, according to India's Skill Reports. This isn't about quality; it's about numbers.
Thus, billions are funneled into crash courses, language bootcamps, and certifications, not to build genuine expertise, but to create a façade of qualification, often after jobs have already been promised overseas. Even in crucial sectors like healthcare, where Jaishankar boasts India can "solve" Western shortages, the fact remains: India struggles to meet its own domestic needs. Skill reports and experts like Dr. Lekha Chakraborty confirm that Indian training programs consistently fail to prepare graduates for real-world demands, leaving millions underserved and resources misallocated. Yet, rather than closing the skill gaps at home, the focus is on exporting as many workers as possible, regardless of whether they actually meet international standards.
The reality is, India isn't overflowing with world-class professionals; it's overflowing with people. Thus, the Indian government's real objective is to wedge as many Indian nationals as possible into good-paying American jobs, often regardless of true qualification or the local impact. Meanwhile, capable American workers are left behind, not due to a lack of ability, but because U.S. policymakers and corporations have bought into India's narrative and abandoned investment in the American workforce.
The hidden cost of investing in India's labor supply strategy
India has built a vast financial infrastructure to facilitate outbound migration, offering bridging loans, insurance, and rotating funds, all subsidized by public and private grants. For employers, it's cheaper to bring in Indian nationals than to invest in their own workforce.
But the GATI strategy doesn't stop at financing. India is demanding that host countries overhaul their own labor systems to accommodate and protect incoming foreign workers. Grievance mechanisms, legal mandates, and resource centers lock in rights for migrants, while incentives, including low-interest business loans and reskilling support, are used to tilt hiring toward foreign workers.
The hidden costs are staggering. American workers are not only undercut by lower-paid foreign labor, but are forced to compete with a workforce backed by another nation's government and a web of corporate allies. Meanwhile, U.S. training standards and credential requirements are undermined, eroding the value of American education and experience.
This isn't a temporary fix. It is a permanent, self-reinforcing system, channeling billions of dollars in remittances to India and institutionalizing foreign-worker preference in advanced economies. The outcome is inevitable: falling wages, lost jobs, and a steady erosion of America's sovereignty over its own workforce. Every dollar invested in this supply strategy is a dollar stolen from the American economy. It's time to demand a course correction, one that puts American skills, livelihoods and interests first.
Hiring from India is like signing a contract riddled with hidden clauses; by the time the consequences are clear, the damage is done. The American workforce deserves better. Those jobs belong to American workers, not a foreign government's export strategy.
A blueprint for displacement: India's cold, calculated framework
India's own analysis admits Indian certifications often aren't recognized overseas due to mismatched skill requirements and quality standards – a clear sign that many of the workers being pushed abroad are not actually qualified for the jobs at hand.
To get around these constraints, India's plan is to "harmonize demand-centric skilling," lobbying for international recognition of Indian credentials and pushing for government-backed loans to subsidize outbound migration. The goal isn't to meet genuine needs, but to bypass local standards and flood foreign markets, regardless of the consequences for host countries.
Every time a visa barrier is lowered or a new guest worker program is launched, it opens the door for India to embed even more of its surplus labor in Western economies. But the ambitions don't stop with white-collar tech jobs. India's leaders are playing a much longer and more aggressive game, openly targeting blue-collar visa categories like H-2A and H-2B, sectors that have long provided stability for American families and local communities.
Their policy documents make this crystal clear: India's strategy is to steadily lobby for the removal of visa caps, to institutionalize so-called "circular migration" so Indian workers can cycle through U.S. jobs indefinitely and to push for changes in immigration law that make Indian labor the default option for both high- and low-skill roles. This is not a temporary workforce solution; it's a step-by-step plan to permanently transform the American labor market in ways that serve India's interests while sidelining American workers at every level.
America's future: At a crossroads
Bottom line: As American companies outsource everything from recruitment to onboarding to Indian partners, foreign nationals are funneled into critical roles across tech, healthcare, engineering, and more, frequently at the direct expense of U.S. citizens. Accreditation standards are diluted. Worker protections are eroded. The playing field is tilted.
India's GATI initiative does not represent an invitation for partnership; it serves as a stark warning. As Indian leaders openly coordinate, lobby, and strategize to gain a foothold in U.S. job markets, too many American officials remain silent or, worse, actively complicit. Every so-called "strategic migration partnership" and each new visa pipeline laid is another brick in the wall separating American families from their own economic future.
The stakes could not be higher. This is not a tale of isolated layoffs or routine workforce shifts, but a deliberate, foreign-led transformation of the U.S. labor market. It is sold as progress but experienced as loss in every community facing layoffs, stagnant wages, and vanishing careers. Each time an American worker is replaced by a lower-paid Indian "guest worker," it marks another victory for India's national agenda and another defeat for the American middle class.
Unless action is taken, this pattern will only accelerate. American laws, corporations, and policymakers risk becoming tools for India's economic ascent while the American dream is steadily outsourced and rewritten. Americans must demand that their leaders defend their interests by rejecting foreign lobbying, putting an end to corporate collusion that enables mass visa fraud, and restoring a workforce system that prioritizes American citizens in their own country.
The choice is clear. Either the United States reclaims its labor market, its laws, and its future, or the nation will continue down a path where its greatest export is its own prosperity. History will not be kind to those who allowed this nation to be given away. Now is the time to draw the line: America first, in every job, every industry, and every decision. Otherwise, America's children will no longer compete with the "world" for the American dream – because that dream will belong to India.

Wyoming has vast miles of open range inhabited by antelopes and rabbits, towering mountains, huge coal reserves, Grand Teton National Park, Devil's Tower, the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo, and mostly conservative neighbors, except for the leftists in Colorado to the south.
But it is a state with a tiny population, only one representative among the 435 in the U.S. House of Representatives, and it is heavily Republican.
When its former congresswoman, Liz Cheney, from a longtime Republican family that includes her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, joined Democrats in their attacks on President Donald Trump during and after his first term, voters in the state unceremoniously booted her from office in a tally that went way beyond landslide proportions.
So, perhaps the status of the Democratic Party there isn't indicative of the situation Democrats are facing nationwide after their candidate, Kamala Harris, was blown out of the race by Trump in the 2024 presidential election, and they failed to gain a majority in either the U.S. Senate or House.
But then…
It is a report from Cowboy State Daily, whose reporter was in attendance at a recent meeting of party officials, who reported the party is losing about $5,000 per month.
And the report confirmed Democrats there formally adopted a vote that asked the publication to keep the details secret.
The online report, however, decided to go forward with information that it deemed the public should have.
The report explained the Democrats' treasurer confirmed the party is losing $5,000 a month, and in all accounts, as of May, had only about $36,000.
Already in 2025, the party has spent nearly $22,000 more than it has taken in.
Treasurer Dudley Case said, "Needless to say, that's an unsustainable loss. So we have to do some fundraising this year, some serious fundraising."
Officials said the party has taken in about $76,000 for the year.
But monthly expenditures are averaging more than $27,000.
When the Democrats realized their information and comments were in public, former Wyoming Democratic Party Vice-Chair Erin O'Doherty moved to order the press not to publish details.
The committee ultimately passed a motion formally requesting the outlet to keep the details secret.
"After consulting with its attorney and editors, Cowboy State Daily has opted to publish the party's budget issues as it believes them to be of public interest and political importance," the report explained.

While some businesses this month are choosing not to fall into line with the tradition of marking June as "Pride Month" – like the Idaho bar that instead is celebrating "Heterosexual Awesomeness Month" – Air Canada has dived into the alphabet soup with a special flight designated as "all-2SLGBTQIA+."
The recent flight was trumpeted via a promotion on X: "Our first all-2SLGBTQIA+ flight was a heartfelt celebration reflecting our unwavering commitment to inclusivity and equality, in the air and on the ground."
The "2S" stand for "two-spirit," a designation now getting top billing in the airline's efforts.
The X video shows crew members, both onboard and on the ground, who identify with one of the letter designations, or has a loved one who does.
"I thought it was a great initiative for the whole community," Jean-François, identified as a station attendant, said in the video. "It's somewhat of a thrill being on this flight today."
Another station attendant, René JR, felt similarly. "I'm here to support my daughter," he said. "One of my four children is part of this community. When I saw there was an opportunity to support her even more, I signed up for it right away."
Responses on X, however, noted the irony of the fact that excluding employees who are not "2SLGBTQIA+" is by its very nature "not inclusive."
Posted "Siobhan": "How is this a commitment to inclusivity & equality when straight people are excluded on purpose? You're ridiculous."
As reported by Fox News, Curtis Houck, managing editor of NewsBusters, posted on X, "This is a parody, right?"
Canadian blogger Mark Slapinski said, "Air Canada has gone FULLY WOKE. Raise your hand if you'll never fly on their airlines AGAIN."
The Daily Mail reported that many commenters expressed frustration that sexual identity, rather than professional competency and ability, was being showcased.
"When booking flights I know my first concern is the sexuality of the flight crew. LGB arent you sick of being used?" said one.
At one point, Air Canada was forced to stop accepting comments on its controversial post.
"Nothing screams 'inclusion' like blocking most of the public from commenting on your company's post," said an X user.
Another posited: "As a gay man, I find it absolutely terrifying you put people in the cockpit based on their identity rather than their skill to fly a plane. …"
As Breitbart reported, this is not the first time Air Canada has been thrust into the public eye for reasons it did not foresee.
In 2019, it parted with tradition by dropping "ladies and gentlemen" or the French "mesdames et messieurs" when greeting passengers aboard its aircraft.
Instead, crew were ordered to use gender-neutral greetings such as "good morning everybody" in a bid to spare the feelings of gender fluid passengers.
A company memo stated, "we want to ensure an inclusive space for everyone, including those who identify with gender X."

Multiple lawsuits have erupted in recent years filed by plaintiffs who demand their local libraries provide them with pornographic material, or other titles that many find offensive.
They claim a constitutional right to have taxpayers provide such materials, but a decision from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has destroyed that argument.
To plaintiffs who wildly claim that, "Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people," the ruling said such "over-caffeinated arguments" should stop, and parties "take a deep breath … No one is banning (or burning) books."
The solution is clear, the judges wrote in an opinion in the case Little v. Llano County: "If a disappointed patron can't find a book in the library, he can order it online, buy it from a bookstore, or borrow it from a friend. All that Llano County has done here is what libraries have been doing for two centuries: decide which books they want in their collections. This is what it means to be a library – to make judgments about which books are worth reading and which are not, which ideas belong on the shelves and which do not."
It is the American Center for Law and Justice that contributed to the arguments with a friend-of-the-court brief, and explained, "For over a year, the ACLJ has been fighting to protect children from far-Left groups that want to expose children to sexually explicit content without your knowledge. School districts have been inundated with far-Left lobbying, demands, and lawsuits seeking to force them to include reprehensible and disturbing content in the children's sections of school libraries. We've been working with school districts around the country to fight back and allow school officials – who represent the parents of the school children they serve – to empower parental rights and protect children from sexualized and Marxist indoctrination. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just issued a decision that will assist us in this fight."
The decision, "unprecedented," according to the ACLJ, resulted in two significant factors.
"First, [individuals and groups] cannot invoke a right to receive information to challenge a library's removal of books. … Second, a library's collection decisions are government speech and therefore not subject to Free Speech challenge," the ACLJ said.
"This means that school libraries cannot be forced to house inappropriate material no matter how many lawsuits radical librarians and far-Left groups like the ACLU file."
In this case, some people from Llano County sued the Texas library for removing 17 books because of their sexual and/or racial themes.
"The plaintiffs in this case argued that they had a 'right to receive information' – even sexually explicit information – under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment and that the public library (and taxpayers) must supply them with whatever books they desire," the ACLJ charged.
"The plaintiffs disingenuously argued that the removal of the inappropriate books constituted a book ban reminiscent of 'totalitarian regimes.'"
The 5th Circuit said, "It is one thing to tell the government it cannot stop you from receiving a book. The First Amendment protects your right to do that. It is another thing for you to tell the government which books it must keep in the library. The First Amendment does not give you that right to demand that."
The ACLJ said, "The Fifth Circuit's ruling is a breath of fresh air and represents a long, overdue, legally sound, and commonsense approach to this issue. As the Fifth Circuit noted, the plaintiffs incorrectly 'demand to receive information from the government itself.'"
"If – as the groups we've battled have been arguing – '[P]eople can challenge which books libraries remove, they can challenge which books libraries buy. . . . Suppose a patron complains that the library does not have a book she wants. The library refuses to buy it, so she sues.' Where would it end? It wouldn't, and groups like the ACLU wouldn't stop until you, the taxpayer, are forced to fund and stock pornography and other inappropriate content on every children's library shelf in America."

The Indian government does not hide its intentions. It does not cloak its agenda in diplomatic vagueness or cultural goodwill. On the contrary, India has made one fact abundantly clear: it views its global diaspora as a state-controlled asset, a tool of national policy, and an instrument of foreign influence.
The Indian government has built one of the most extensive and coordinated diaspora engagement strategies in modern history, one that now plays a central role in India's global rise. Unlike other nations that merely celebrate their emigrant populations, India has institutionalized a system designed to leverage its overseas citizens for strategic national gain.
To put it simply, India has built a state-backed infrastructure specifically designed to mobilize its overseas population as a tool of strategic leverage.
In the process, Indian-origin individuals embedded in American institutions are playing increasingly pivotal roles in influencing U.S. policy, offshoring economic opportunities, and redirecting American resources to support India's geopolitical ambitions.
A state-engineered diaspora strategy
According to The United Indian, the Indian diaspora is viewed as a global force capable of swaying political outcomes in host countries.
The publication boasts that Indian-origin communities have driven India's development through remittances, capital inflows, and transfers of technical knowledge from abroad.
More critically, it calls for this global community to be intentionally positioned in key business, policy, and academic roles, not to integrate into their host nations, but to serve India's broader national interests.
This is not just pride in national identity, it's a blueprint for foreign influence.
India's Ministry of External Affairs openly acknowledges that investments from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) account for nearly 35% of the country's total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows.
To deepen its reliance on foreign capital and consolidate control over its global diaspora, the Indian government has constructed a sophisticated system of legal, financial, and emotional loyalty, one deliberately designed to turn overseas Indians into agents of national advancement.
Through initiatives like Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) and NRI-targeted investment schemes was explicitly designed to turn diaspora wealth into a national development engine, not just for economic growth, but for India's geopolitical rise.
While India explicitly prohibits dual citizenship, it has created a legal workaround: the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) program, though not true citizenship, OCI status grants foreign nationals of Indian origin lifetime visa-free entry, unrestricted access to India's economy, educational institutions and property markets (excluding agricultural land) and rights nearly identical to those of NRIs. This structure allows millions of Indian-origin U.S. citizens and green card holders to operate across borders, fully integrated into India's economic system while retaining the legal protections and privileges of their host countries.
Under India's Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) framework, many prominent Indian-origin Americans, including those in politics, business, and technology, are eligible for OCI status based on Indian parentage, ancestry, or prior Indian citizenship. For example, Vivek Ramaswamy, now running for governor of Ohio after a presidential bid, qualifies as the child of an Indian citizen. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella qualifies as a former Indian citizen. Despite holding U.S. citizenship, individuals like Ramaswamy and Nadella can legally obtain OCI status, which allows them to live, work, invest, and exercise significant influence in India without relinquishing their American nationality. This dual access positions them as powerful cross-border actors who can simultaneously shape U.S. and Indian interests, making them instrumental to India's broader geopolitical and economic strategy.
But the design goes deeper. Many of these individuals, despite holding U.S. citizenship or even government security clearances, remain closely embedded in India's strategic and policy ecosystem.
A blueprint for global leverage
India openly admits that its relationship with the diaspora is not incidental or symbolic, but strategic. This means all engagement, whether financial, educational, or political, is aimed at securing tangible benefits for India, including influence operations, foreign lobbying, and economic leverage.
India not only uses the diaspora to bring resources into India, but also seeks to embed and expand Indian labor into foreign economies, particularly through workforce pipelines (H-1B, L-1, OPT), often facilitated by state partnerships and corporate MoUs.
India is actively designing incentive structures and policy tools tailored to different segments of the diaspora. These "customized solutions" include visa rights, investment opportunities, and educational access in India, all meant to bind the diaspora more tightly to India's economic system.
India refers to its diaspora as "investible," confirming that it views them as resources to be deployed for national gain. This includes their:
India's diaspora incentive structure, powered through the OCI framework, creates the conditions for state-enabled insider trading. This system functions as a form of state-enabled economic espionage. OCI holders are encouraged to influence foreign policy and investment toward India and then personally benefit from those policies and deals using their exclusive access and legal status in India. This isn't just soft power, it's economic manipulation backed by legal infrastructure.
This dual-access framework is not available to average Americans or other foreign nationals, it creates an elite class of cross-border actors who can align their political power in one country (e.g., the U.S.) with financial returns engineered through policy alignment with another (India). By embedding Indian-origin individuals in powerful U.S. institutions and simultaneously offering them privileged access to India's economic and legal system, India has created a global influence apparatus that bypasses traditional oversight, ethics rules, and financial disclosure norms.
India openly acknowledges that it is leveraging the skills, influence, and corporate positions of Indian-origin professionals abroad by offering incentives and privileges, including OCI status, to pull them into its domestic development agenda. This includes knowledge transfers in tech, governance, and education. It confirms that India's diaspora policy is not passive; it is designed to extract intellectual capital from abroad to fuel India's rise. This aligns with the pattern of Indian-origin tech CEOs (e.g., Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella) driving investment, R&D, and infrastructure into India while offshoring jobs from the U.S.
India views overseas Indians as a pipeline for financial capital, not just through remittances but through structured philanthropy aligned with government goals.
The reference to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) reveals that India wants to control and centralize foreign-origin funding while maintaining legal command over where that money goes, which means the OCI status is not just about cultural connection; it's a legal mechanism.
India sees its diaspora, especially those in the U.S., as influential agents in global forums. It explicitly seeks to engage diaspora professionals in advocacy, public policy and reputation-building, positioning them as unofficial diplomats. India admits it is deliberately organizing the diaspora to shape international narratives, policy perspectives, and strategic alliances. This directly relates to how U.S.-based politicians, CEOs, and institutional leaders of Indian origin are used to push India-friendly policies, suppress criticism of India, and amplify India's soft power in Western governments and institutions.
"Positioning India as a preferred source country for economic migration…"
This is a direct admission that India is intentionally marketing itself as a labor-exporting superpower, leveraging bilateral and corporate partnerships to flood foreign markets with Indian workers. This matches the U.S. visa manipulation via H-1B, OPT, L-1, and green card pipelines. India is structuring labor migration as a national strategy, not a side effect of globalization.
"Facilitate Overseas Indians and Indian businesses to invest and share learnings…"
This line reveals a long-term plan to embed Indian nationals and companies inside foreign economies, particularly those with strategic importance. The Indian government is encouraging Indian-Origin individuals to invest abroad on India's terms, enabling Indian businesses to gain control and visibility in markets and use diaspora networks to export India's development model into other countries. This reinforces how OCI holders and Indian-origin executives in the U.S. are vehicles of Indian economic influence, spreading India-centric trade practices, tech standards, and labor norms.
Leveraging American positions of power
At the center of this effort are Indian-origin power brokers embedded in global business and technology. Many of today's most powerful global technology companies are led by Indian-origin CEOs, figures who have not only climbed to the top of American corporate ladders but who have also played critical roles in redirecting resources, innovation, and workforce opportunity toward India. These individuals are celebrated in India not just as successful executives, but as strategic assets furthering the country's national agenda.
This strategic alignment has led to a clear pattern under their leadership, U.S. companies have prioritized Indian markets, labor forces, and R&D hubs, while laying off American workers, offshoring critical operations, and re-engineering workforce pipelines to favor India's rise.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, has directed over $10 billion into India through the "Digital India" initiative. Under his leadership, Google established major R&D hubs in Bangalore and Hyderabad and partnered with the Indian government to develop language infrastructure and AI systems. These moves have accelerated India's dominance in digital infrastructure while moving research and innovation jobs out of the United States.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, announced a $3.3 billion investment in India's cloud and AI ecosystem in 2024. This came as Microsoft conducted significant layoffs in the U.S. Nadella has actively expanded India's role in Microsoft's global delivery model, turning India into a backbone for the company's engineering, operations, and customer service arms. His strategic alignment with India's government has made Microsoft a central partner in the country's AI and education initiatives.
Parag Agrawal, former CEO of Twitter, promoted India as a key growth market and increased India-specific staffing and engagement with the Indian government. During his tenure, Twitter became more compliant with India's regulatory frameworks, expanding its domestic political utility while softening its global stance on free speech.
Shantanu Narayen, CEO of Adobe, has scaled Adobe's India operations into a global R&D hub and has openly praised India's tech talent and infrastructure. He continues to grow Adobe's footprint in India while supporting government-aligned initiatives related to digital creativity, education, and data frameworks.
Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM, has overseen the company's transformation into a consulting-heavy enterprise with a massive presence in India. Today, IBM employs more people in India than anywhere else in the world. Krishna has shifted core business operations and product development to India, enabling a long-term offshoring model that has reduced American IT and engineering headcount.
Raghu Raghuram, CEO of VMware, has expanded VMware's engineering and DevOps operations in India. The company's India teams have become central to cloud product development and global customer support functions.
Anjali Sud, former CEO of Vimeo, advocated a remote-first workforce strategy that allowed Vimeo to scale its engineering presence in India. Her leadership coincided with Vimeo's partnerships across India's media and technology ecosystem.
Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks, has overseen the launch of major cybersecurity engineering hubs in India. His strategy positioned India as a global center for cyber talent, driving product development from Indian campuses while reducing reliance on U.S.-based teams.
Revathi Advaithi, CEO of Flex, shifted manufacturing and logistics operations to India as part of the company's realignment under global supply chain pressures. She has actively supported India's "Make in India" industrial policies, strengthening the country's manufacturing base.
George Kurian, CEO of NetApp, has positioned the company's India arm as a global technology and engineering hub. NetApp India handles core storage product innovation and services, deepening the country's role in high-tech infrastructure.
Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of Micron, has played a leading role in developing India's semiconductor industry. He led Micron's $2.75 billion investment in a semiconductor assembly and testing facility in Gujarat, an initiative heavily subsidized by the Indian government. While India benefits from new chip capabilities, U.S. semiconductor expansion efforts have faced cuts and delays.
These aren't isolated cases, they are coordinated outcomes. India's immigration strategy, in tandem with its diaspora engagement playbook, has used the U.S. work visa system as a delivery vehicle, flooding American companies with Indian nationals while displacing U.S. workers at scale.
According to The United Indian, the global economic footprint of Indian diaspora-led businesses now exceeds $3 trillion annually. This is not merely success, it is state-backed leverage.
In summary, these Indian-origin CEOs are not merely individual success stories. They are key actors in India's global strategy, channeling American capital, jobs and technologies to strengthen India's economic, digital, and geopolitical position, often while U.S. workers and industries suffer the consequences. Their positions at the helm of U.S. corporations have made them ideal conduits for India's long-term national ambitions.
Indian Multinational Corporations: The corporate engine of India's foreign agenda
While Indian-origin CEOs embedded in U.S. corporations have become symbols of influence and strategic alignment, it is Indian multinational enterprises (MNEs), notably Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra and HCL Technologies, that serve as the operational arms of India's economic expansion and workforce export strategy. These companies have played a central role in advancing India's national agenda by systematically exploiting the U.S. immigration system, displacing American labor, offshoring sensitive contracts, and influencing U.S. policy under the guise of globalization.
These MNEs are not neutral market actors. They operate in lockstep with Indian government ministries, educational institutions, and trade bodies to implement India's global workforce and innovation agenda. Their executives regularly participate in diaspora events like Pravasi Bharatiya Divas and leverage India's Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) program to maintain influence over Indian-origin professionals embedded in U.S. companies and agencies.
The offshoring playbook used by these firms, perfected through state incentives and policy coordination, has enabled the transfer of U.S. contracts, research, and intellectual property to India-based facilities. TCS and Infosys pioneered this model with 24/7 development centers in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Cognizant, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra expanded it by winning U.S. government and corporate deals, then quietly shifting execution to India. Many of these contracts include sensitive data and services once intended exclusively for American use, some even involving defense and healthcare systems.
The damage to American workers is staggering. These firms collectively file tens of thousands of H-1B, L-1, and OPT visa applications every year, undercutting U.S. wages and excluding qualified American applicants. Several have been sued for discrimination, including TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, and Tech Mahindra. In one of the most notable cases, Infosys paid a $34 million settlement to the DOJ for abusing B-1 visas to sneak in Indian workers under false pretenses. Others have faced similar accusations of misusing the visa system to sidestep U.S. labor protections and import low-wage labor.
Beyond workforce displacement, these MNEs shape U.S. policy. As members of lobbying bodies like the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC), they push for expanded visa quotas, intellectual property concessions, and trade agreements that benefit India. They also fund diaspora-linked advocacy groups like Indiaspora and USINPAC to influence American lawmakers and normalize India-first workforce policies under the banner of globalization.
These corporations are not simply participants in the global economy, they are tools of India's national strategy. They have embedded themselves inside America's digital infrastructure, redirected taxpayer-funded innovation to India, and engineered a labor market shift that benefits one nation at the expense of another. Their success represents not just corporate growth, but the successful execution of a geopolitical and economic conquest, one contract, one job, and one visa at a time.
Indian-Origin U.S. political power: Indian Government political access and policy influence in America through diaspora
India has not only exported labor and technology, but it has also cultivated political influence in the United States through a growing number of Indian-origin elected officials and civil servants. These individuals, often celebrated by Indian media and government officials as "diaspora success stories," are increasingly positioned in critical roles across U.S. policymaking, diplomacy, trade, and law.
Their prominence is not just a reflection of personal achievement, it's a strategic asset for India's foreign policy. The Indian government maintains regular engagement with Indian-origin U.S. lawmakers and public officials. Congress members such as Ro Khanna and Pramila Jayapal have participated in Indian diaspora events and advocated for increased U.S.-India cooperation. U.S. policy changes related to immigration, trade, and technology transfer often receive vocal support from diaspora-linked organizations, including the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) and Indian-American lobbying groups.
FEDERAL ELECTED OFFICIALS
Kamala Harris, Former Vice President of the United States, is the daughter of Indian-born scientist Shyamala Gopalan. Although Harris identifies more with her African-American heritage publicly, Indian officials and media claim her as a symbol of diaspora power, frequently referencing her as a point of national pride and using her image in Pravasi Bharatiya Divas and India-based political narratives.
Ami Bera, U.S. Representative from California's 6th District, is the longest-serving Indian-American in Congress. He sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and has consistently supported pro-India policy positions, including increased defense and health cooperation. Bera frequently appears at Indian consulate events and receives backing from Indian-American lobbying groups.
Raja Krishnamoorthi, U.S. Representative from Illinois's 8th District, is known for his vocal support of U.S.-India relations. He regularly engages with Indian consulates, diaspora coalitions, and public forums promoting bilateral economic and educational ties. He has endorsed expanding H-1B visas and supports India-centric trade initiatives.
Ro Khanna, U.S. Representative from California's 17th District (Silicon Valley), is perhaps the most active Indian-origin lawmaker when it comes to coordinating with the Indian government. He has spoken at Indian diaspora forums, participated in trade delegations, and met directly with Indian officials to discuss shared tech and labor interests. Khanna plays a central role in maintaining India's foothold in U.S. tech policy.
Pramila Jayapal, U.S. Representative from Washington's 7th District, is of Indian origin and chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus. While she has occasionally criticized India's human rights record, she remains deeply embedded in India-focused diaspora circles and continues to advocate for South Asian-American representation and visa-related reforms that disproportionately benefit Indian nationals.
Shri Thanedar, U.S. Representative from Michigan's 13th District, is an immigrant from India and a former entrepreneur. He has positioned himself as a "self-made success story," drawing significant attention from Indian media outlets that celebrate his electoral victory as a win for the diaspora.
Suhas Subramanyam, elected in 2024 to represent Virginia's 10th District, became the first Indian-American Congressman from Virginia. His election was hailed by Indian consulates and diaspora PACs as a milestone in expanding Indian-origin political power at the federal level.
STATE & LOCAL OFFICIALS
Aruna Miller, Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, is the first South Asian woman to hold such a high executive office in any U.S. state. Her campaign and inauguration were celebrated in Indian media as a "historic diaspora achievement," and she maintains active relationships with Indian-American groups.
Ravinder Bhalla, Mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, made headlines as the first Sikh mayor elected in New Jersey. He has spoken at Indian consulate events and is frequently spotlighted by Indian media outlets promoting diaspora visibility.
Niraj Antani, Ohio State Senator, is the first Indian-American Republican elected to the Ohio legislature. He's been involved in India-friendly business delegations and has spoken publicly in support of U.S.-India trade alignment.
Jenifer Rajkumar, a New York State Assembly Member, is the first Indian-American woman elected to New York's Legislature. She's known for her active participation in Indian cultural celebrations and events organized by Indian diplomatic missions.
Kshama Sawant, Seattle City Council member, is a high-profile political figure of Indian origin. While aligned with socialist and anti-capitalist causes, she has nevertheless been cited in Indian state media as evidence of diaspora reach into American political systems.
Manka Dhingra, Washington State Senator and Deputy Majority Leader, regularly advocates for Indian-American communities and serves as a bridge between Indian diplomacy and state-level U.S. politics.
These Indian-origin officials are not just public servants, they are key nodes in a transnational influence network. Whether by promoting India-friendly trade, championing immigration policies that benefit Indian labor exports, or directly engaging with Indian ministries and consulates, they have become instruments of soft power for a foreign government seeking deeper economic and political footholds in the United States.
The foreign enterprise operating inside American gates
From Silicon Valley boardrooms to Capitol Hill, Indian-origin power brokers, whether CEOs, elected officials, or high-ranking bureaucrats, have quietly but decisively advanced India's global ambitions from within American institutions. Trusted to represent American interests, many have made decisions that directly expanded India's economic, technological, and strategic reach, often at the expense of American workers, taxpayers, and national sovereignty.
Their loyalty is not judged by soundbites. It is revealed in their actions. And India has made its intent explicit. These diaspora figures are not just celebrated success stories. They are strategic tools in India's foreign policy. The United States, so far, has allowed it.
This must now be addressed with clarity. What happens when American institutions elevate individuals aligned, by birth, benefit, or ideology, with a foreign government? We are already living the answer. From trade deals and education partnerships to immigration policy and infrastructure, India-aligned influence has structurally reshaped American systems to favor India's rise.
When Indian-origin lawmakers push expanded visa quotas or bilateral tech transfers, when corporate executives move jobs and research to India, when academics and nonprofit leaders advise Indian ministries or appear at diaspora summits like Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, and when U.S. law firms shape domestic policy for Indian interests, this is not about heritage. It is about strategic alignment. And when that alignment undermines American jobs and weakens national competitiveness, it becomes a direct threat.
What other nation would tolerate foreign-aligned actors influencing its laws, investments, and workforce strategy in favor of a rival power? What other government would remain silent as its own institutions are redirected to serve another country's rise?
While Chinese influence has sparked national security investigations and legislative action, India's infiltration has been masked by diplomatic charm and the illusion of shared values. But India's model, built on visa exploitation, diaspora loyalty, intellectual property theft, and policy capture, is no less dangerous.
The question is no longer whether this network exists. The question is how long America will allow foreign-aligned operatives to shape its future. Because when India is prioritized over America, that is not cooperation. That is colonization by strategy. And it ends when we say America First. On our soil. In our jobs. And in our government.
The cost to America
The cost of India's strategy is not hidden in spreadsheets or obscure treaties. It's written across the hollowed-out factories of the Midwest, the layoffs in Silicon Valley and the flood of foreign resumes that replaced American workers through programs never meant to be abused. It's embedded in the tech monopolies that now serve as international outsourcing hubs, in the universities captured by foreign talent pipelines, and in the policies shaped not for America's benefit, but for India's ascendancy.
This isn't a partnership. It's conquest through policy, profit, and persuasion.
India has weaponized its diaspora, its multinational firms, and its manipulated alliances to execute one of the most sophisticated economic invasions in modern history, without a single shot fired. American goodwill, legal loopholes, and corporate greed became the tools of surrender.
And what did we lose? Control over our labor force. Ownership of our technology. Direction of our future.
India's rise has been powered by our decline. Not by accident. By design.
Every job is offshored. Every visa that was exploited. Every trade deal tilted in their favor was a calculated move in a long game we refused to see. And while America slept, India embedded itself inside our institutions, rewrote our rules, and positioned its agents to steer our destiny.
This is no longer just a wake-up call. It is a final warning.
The American republic is being gutted from within, not by tanks or missiles, but by talent pipelines, lobbying arms, and diaspora operatives loyal to a foreign agenda.
We can either confront this truth now, or watch as America is outsourced, reprogrammed, and overwritten … one manipulated visa, one remitted dollar, and one "strategic partnership" at a time.
History will not remember us kindly if we fail to act. This is our line in the sand. America first, or America lost.

Under U.S. law, student visas are meant for education, not employment. The F-1 visa allows international students to study full-time at accredited U.S. institutions. It was never meant to be a job program. But over the years, loopholes and quiet policy changes have transformed this visa into one of the biggest threats to American workers.
To receive an F-1 student visa, a foreign national must swear under oath that their sole intent is to come to the United States temporarily for full-time academic study, not to work or remain permanently. They must prove they have sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses without needing a job, and they must show strong ties to their home country that will compel them to return after completing their education.
These are not suggestions, they are legal requirements under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Yet companies like Miles Education have built entire business models around violating the spirit, and often the letter, of these conditions, turning what should be a temporary academic pathway into a long-term foreign labor pipeline.
The training program was intended to allow an international student after graduation the opportunity to apply for a short-term work benefit called Optional Practical Training (OPT). It was designed to let students gain experience in their field for up to 12 months. In 2008, this was expanded to 36 months for STEM (science, tech, engineering, math) grads, but only for degrees that truly qualify as STEM and only for training, not full-time careers.
Now here's what Miles Education did instead.
Miles turned this simple student benefit into a full-blown labor funnel. They packaged everything, college admissions, visa support, orchestrated STEM coursework, and job placement into one commercial service.
They charged students as much as $40,000-$50,000 for guaranteed admission to U.S. universities, OPT work approval, and job placements in American companies, supported by numerous testimonials from models and alumni promising substantial returns on investment for the Miles US Pathway program aimed at Indian nationals. Consequently, the emphasis shifted away from genuine education; the primary objective became clear: to enter the U.S., secure employment, and remain for as long as possible to pursue the American Dream that was purchased not earned.
Federal law states that OPT is not a work visa and is not intended to substitute for American jobs. However, Miles and its university partners have rebranded accounting programs, which do not qualify as STEM, as "STEM degrees" by incorporating terms like analytics and tech tools.
This allows their international students to work in the U.S. for up to three years without oversight, effectively circumventing U.S. workers. They heavily promote this "innovative" three-year work opportunity.
The law mandates that employers must safeguard the U.S. labor market; however, under the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, there is no obligation for employers to demonstrate that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the positions being filled by OPT participants. Additionally, the program lacks wage protection regulations, tax obligations, and does not impose any numerical caps on the number of positions that can be filled by OPT workers. Employers utilizing OPT workers are not required to contribute to Social Security or Medicare taxes, resulting in savings of approximately 8% per hire. This absence of regulation is why large corporations find the program advantageous. Critics argue that this situation constitutes legal exploitation, and organizations like Miles facilitate access to such programs more than ever.
And when those three years are up? Miles just offshores the job. Through its Miles Talent Hub, or one of their other subsidiaries, the same workers are rehired back in India at half the wage, still doing U.S. work from overseas. Miles calls this the "Build-Operate-Transfer" model. It should be called the final nail in the coffin for American graduates.
Everything about this breaks the spirit, and arguably the letter, of immigration law. U.S. regulations say F-1 visa holders must be full-time students and leave the country after their program. They are not supposed to turn into long-term workers or be part of a permanent pipeline for outsourcing. But Miles created a business that does exactly that and U.S. universities, employers, and the government let it happen.
This is the Immigration Industrial Complex in action, foreign companies using our schools, our visas, and our labor laws to displace us in our own country, and profiting from every step of the process.
Read the full exclusive investigation: "Imported degrees, exported jobs: How America's student visa system became a foreign labor pipeline."
This story was originally published by the WND News Center.
12 issues explored include the employment visa pipelines that bypass American talent
A growing number of Americans are asking why qualified U.S. workers are being sidelined while corporations continue to import foreign labor. In response, WND has launched the America First Immigration Team, a dedicated unit of investigators, researchers and writers committed to exposing the full scope of what's become known as the Immigration Industrial Complex, the network of corporations, law firms, universities and foreign governments that profit from America's immigration and labor systems.
Our team will publish a series of investigative reports and special features to shed light on the policies, programs and players that have transformed America's work visa system from a tool of last resort into a pipeline for replacing U.S. labor.
What we'll expose and report on:
1. Employment visa pipelines that bypass American talent
● We'll document how programs like H-1B, L-1, OPT, STEM OPT, and PERM are used not to fill labor shortages but to staff entire departments with temporary foreign workers. Many of these roles were previously held by Americans.
2. Corporate job postings engineered to exclude U.S. workers
● Our investigations will reveal how job advertisements are structured to meet legal minimums while ensuring U.S. applicants are filtered out. We'll show how this tactic supports green-card approvals while denying Americans fair consideration.
3. Universities partnering with foreign education firms to build visa funnels
● We'll expose U.S. universities that enter into contracts with foreign-based companies to import student workers and create direct hiring pipelines many under the guise of "innovation," "diversity," or "global partnerships."
4. Immigration law firms coaching employers to avoid hiring Americans
● Our reports will examine how some firms develop recruitment strategies specifically designed to navigate around U.S. labor protections, helping employers meet legal thresholds while excluding domestic candidates.
5. The role of foreign governments and lobbying groups in shaping U.S. labor policy
● We will highlight how foreign entities use soft power, lobbying, and economic agreements to influence U.S. immigration and employment systems, often in coordination with multinational corporations.
6. Offshoring schemes tied to visa programs
● Our team will map how visa-dependent roles serve as stepping stones to offshoring entire departments or operations driving American jobs overseas permanently under the label of "cost efficiency."
7. Discrimination against U.S. citizens in hiring practices
● We'll bring forward documented cases where Americans are either not contacted, overlooked, or excluded from consideration due to visa-based hiring preferences or contractual foreign labor commitments.
8. How immigration abuse suppresses wages and erodes labor standards
● Our data-driven and evidence based reporting will analyze how the influx of foreign workers affects wage levels, job availability, and bargaining power across key sectors including technology, healthcare, finance, and academia.
9. The misuse of nonprofit status and tax incentives to support foreign labor programs
● We'll investigate nonprofits, universities, and industry associations that benefit from taxpayer support while operating programs that prioritize foreign talent over domestic workforce development.
10. The human cost stories of displaced American workers
● Alongside our investigations, we'll amplify voices of American workers who have been replaced, sidelined, or forced out of the workforce due to unchecked immigration pipelines and global labor practices.
11. The data they don't want you to see
● We'll provide tools and transparency to access immigration filings, Department of Labor disclosures, and university agreements resources often buried from public view but essential to understanding the full picture.
12. Legal gaps and regulatory failures enabling the crisis
● We will outline the agencies involved (USCIS, DOL, DHS, ICE, DOJ, SBA, DOE), the laws in play (INA, Title VII, FDUTPA, RICO), and the accountability failures that allow these abuses to continue unchecked.
The America First Immigration Team is just getting started.
If you believe in America, if you believe that Americans should be prioritized by our government, our laws, and our jobs, then this fight is yours too. The American Dream should belong to Americans, not the world. For too long, our leaders have sacrificed American opportunity on the altar of globalism and cheap labor schemes.
We invite you to follow our reporting, share the facts and hold power to account. The more Americans who wake up and demand change, the harder it will be for the political class and corporate interests to keep selling us out.
Stay tuned to WND for upcoming releases, whistleblower reports, legal filings and exposure campaigns designed to restore balance to America's labor system.
This isn't about closing the door to talent. It's about finally opening the door for American workers, American families and the next generation who deserve a future in their own country.

The American people have lost jobs. They've watched industries shipped overseas, their towns hollowed out by corporate greed and globalist interests. But most Americans still don't know the latest betrayal: Both Democrat and Republican state governments are now fueling that collapse with American workers' retirement savings.
According to India's Consul General Ramesh Babu Lakshmanan in Atlanta and U.S. Consul General Mike Hankey in India, states like California, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida and Tennessee have invested over $50 billion directly or indirectly into India. On top of that, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation has injected another $4 billion.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. U.S. pension and endowment managers now control $1.8 trillion in assets targeted for even deeper exposure to the Indian economy. Consul General Hankey, who led the "Building Financial Futures" roadshow with India's Ministry of Finance, called the plan a "win-win." He boasted that top executives from U.S. public pension funds representing all 50 states had come together to "boost U.S. investment into India."
"It is going to deliver good returns for hard-working Americans," Hankey declared. "At the same time, it's going to enable and accelerate what India is doing as it grows and as its stature in the world grows."
America's own diplomats are now championing this offshoring agenda
U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti has told investors to embrace India as the future: "If you want to see the future, come to India. If you want to feel the future, come to India. If you want to work on the future, come to India."
India's ambitions aren't hidden. As laid out by India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, the playbook is simple: "The weaker player solicits or manipulates stronger forces to its advantage". This is not a defensive posture, but a calculated, opportunistic game; India plays every side, commits to none. The goal isn't alliances, but leverage.
Jaishankar's doctrine rejects traditional partnerships, exploits global rivalries and treats the West not as a friend, but as a tool for India's advancement. As U.S. pension dollars pour into India, American retirees are being forced to bankroll a foreign government that sees them not as allies, but as a means to its own rise.
Ambassadors like Garcetti, after praising India's economic "miracle," now frame investment in India as the next patriotic move for Americans looking to leave China behind. But in reality, the only winners are the global investment firms, foreign governments and corporate elites orchestrating the largest transfer of American wealth, jobs and opportunity in recent history.
India's government, its politicians and corporate backers repeat the same message: To outcompete China, America must build up India. Jaishankar's own book, "The India Way," makes it clear that India's rise is built on exploiting rivalries and drawing in Western capital, never on genuine partnership or shared sacrifice.
Ambassador Eric Garcetti has encouraged deeper ties with India, describing the country as a democratic alternative to China. But the question remains: What is the long-term cost of duplicating the China strategy with another foreign economic giant?
America funds its own decline: U.S. pension cash flows to Indian industry
The United States has become the largest foreign portfolio investor into India making up over 39% of assets under custody for India. These include equities, private equity partnerships, real assets and early-stage ventures that directly or indirectly benefit from offshored U.S. labor and government contracts.
Funds such as Florida's SBA have committed $300 million to $500 million through Asia Alternatives. California's CalPERS, alongside pensions in New Jersey and New York, have funded Indian equities, tech hubs and logistics startups through opaque partnerships with Indian capital firms. These platforms often invest in firms that are direct beneficiaries of outsourcing arrangements from American companies.

Fraud and systemic risk: Will Americans ever see those returns?
India's stock markets have posted record growth, but beneath that boom lies a dark reality. On average, over 400 stock-related fraud complaints were filed daily in 2024. Cyber fraud jumped fourfold and unsanctioned trades by brokers hit record highs.
According to the PwC India 2024 survey, 59% of Indian companies experienced economic fraud, compared to a global average of 41%. Procurement scams, bribery and cyber fraud dominate India's corporate landscape.
Hankey claims India is "stable" and "transparent." Yet only 2% of Indian financial influencers are registered and 63% fail to disclose financial ties. India's securities fraud is not just frequent, it is systemic and even regulators warn that investor trust is on the verge of collapse.
Scam after scam has defrauded U.S. citizens and global investors alike:
And the list goes on and on.
India's Stock Market Mania Sparks Surge in Financial Frauds and Cybercrimes
The investments raise questions of legality, ethics and public trust. And the scale and structure of these investments raise multiple red flags. U.S. fiduciaries are legally obligated to act in the best interest of beneficiaries. Investment decisions must be based on transparency, risk mitigation and long-term security. To date no official has yet explained how funding India's digital economy, infrastructure and workforce aligns with the economic interests of American workers and retirees.
Yet these funds are being invested in foreign markets with high systemic risk, including:
Worse, many of these investments are funneled through black-box intermediaries like Asia Alternatives, Blackstone and private equity firms that do not disclose their full holdings, leaving pensioners and taxpayers in the dark.
Exporting your future: What America loses every time India wins
This is no longer a trade debate. This is about state-sponsored capital transfer where American cities, schools and workers are stripped of their economic base while foreign governments grow stronger using U.S. dollars.
As American families struggle to pay rent, get healthcare and afford college, their own government is funding India's rise, not their own. As workers lose jobs to H-1B visa holders, Indian firms grow richer funded by U.S. pension capital. And while Indian billionaires profit, America's middle class is being erased.
As one Indian official proudly stated, the influx of U.S. pension funds will allow India to "unlock $800 billion in infrastructure development over the next decade."
That's $800 billion not invested in American bridges, broadband, manufacturing or workers.
That's $800 billion diverted from the future of American retirees, children and veterans into the coffers of a foreign state that openly says it wants to replace the West as the global rule-maker.
This is not a partnership. It is a hostile economic takeover sponsored by the very people elected to defend Americans. The final question is not whether this strategy helps India. It clearly does. The question is: Who in Washington will stand up and stop it?
The people responsible for undermining your retirement security, shipping your jobs overseas, and selling out our country for foreign gain are counting on your silence.
Don't let them get away with it.

Harvard University has an issue with anti-Semitism and has defied President Donald Trump's demands that it change policies to crack down on student protests, have better admissions and hiring practices and submit to government audits.
The cost, so far, has been about $2.7 billion in federal grants that have been withdrawn from the university. And officials have suggested it might lose its tax exemption.
Officials there may or may not be concerned about that, but they have started funding some of the projects previously paid for with tax dollars themselves.
Besides, they know they have a $53 billion endowment locked up for them.
Now, however, a new move by the Trump administration would hit both at the school's finances, and significantly, at its prestige.
A new wire report explains that the administration has revoked the school's permission to enroll international students.
And the determination includes orders that thousands of current students must transfer to other schools.
The Department of Homeland Security said Thursday that Harvard has created "an unsafe campus environment" by allowing "anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators" to assault Jewish students on campus, the report said.
"It also accused Harvard of coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party, saying it hosted and trained members of a Chinese paramilitary group as recently as 2024," the report said.
More than a quarter of the 6,800 students at the campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, now are foreigners, often in graduate level courses.
The report explained, "Many of Harvard's punishments have come through a federal anti-Semitism task force that says the university failed to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence amid a nationwide wave of pro-Palestinian protests."
In fact, Homeland Security reports have confirmed how Jewish students report discrimination and bias on campus.
"It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country."
The report said about a quarter of Harvard's students are foreigners, and besides the high fees they pay, they help the school "gain international influence."
The report noted a government task force concluded Harvard has failed to confront pervasive race discrimination and anti-Semitic harassment.
The school itself said almost 60% of Jewish students documented "discrimination, stereotyping, or negative bias."
Further, it has "let crime rates skyrocket, enacted racist DEI practices, and accepted boatloads of cash from foreign governments and donors," the report said.
