>Americans know H1B visas take their jobs
>But they don't know about the F1/OPT "pre-H1B" pipeline
>F1 student graduates gets OPT job at Amazon pays 0% FICA tax
>Saves $7,650/year vs American citizen doing same job
>Uses tax-free money to buy property Americans can't afford
>Tries for H1B lottery while building wealth Americans never see

Most Americans think H1B is the problem. They don't realize F1/OPT is the REAL backdoor that's been open for years.

THE PRE-H1B PIPELINE EXPLAINED FOR AMERICANS:
1. F1 Student Visa: Foreign student comes to US for college
2. OPT Program: Gets 12-36 months to work after graduation (this is the backdoor)
3. Tax-Free Work: Pays 0% Social Security/Medicare taxes while Americans pay 7.65%
4. Job Competition: Gets same tech jobs but costs employer 7.65% less in taxes
5. H1B Pipeline: Tries for H1B visa while already working (advantage over external candidates)
6. Property Buying: Uses tax savings to buy homes Americans can't afford
7. Wealth Transfer: If H1B fails, returns home with US property assets

THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER:
• F1 OPT workers are exempt from FICA taxes - saves 15.3% total
• Indians bought 4,700 homes worth $2.2 billion in US in 2024-25
• This represents 6% of all foreign property purchases
• Most Americans have ZERO clue this system exists
• While you're paying full taxes, they're building property portfolios

Let's break down the math:
American Worker $100,000 salary - $7,650 FICA tax = $92,350 take-home Before income tax
F1 OPT Worker $100,000 salary - $0 FICA tax = $100,000 take-home Before income tax

That's $7,650 in extra savings per year for the F1 worker.
Over 3 years of STEM OPT = $22,950 in tax advantages.
Plus the employer saves $7,650 per year too - giving them incentive to hire foreign workers.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
While Americans are waking up to H1B abuse, they don't realize the REAL scam is the F1/OPT pipeline that gives foreign workers first access to high-paying jobs with massive tax advantages.

Here's what most Americans don't realize: when they complain about H1B visas taking their jobs, they're missing the fact that many of those H1B recipients first came through the F1/OPT pipeline. This system essentially creates a two-tiered workforce:

>American citizens: Pay full taxes, struggle with housing costs, compete for jobs
>F1/OPT workers: Get tax breaks, build property portfolios, have inside track to permanent positions

The H1B controversy is just the tip of the iceberg. The real issue is the F1/OPT system that creates an unfair playing field from day one, giving foreign graduates advantages that American citizens will never have.

When I post this on YouTube, i ALWAYS get a bunch of Rajeshes and Poojas screaming at me trying to gaslight me.

>"But they pay income tax just like everyone else!"
>Rajesh: "F1 students pay federal and state income taxes just like American citizens, so the system is fair."
Rebuttal: American citizens pay income tax AND FICA taxes (7.65% of salary). F1 OPT workers only pay income tax, giving them a 7.65% take-home advantage. This is like saying "we both pay rent, but I don't have to pay utilities" - it's not an equal comparison.

>"It's only for 5 years, then they pay like everyone else!"
>Rajesh: "The tax exemption only lasts 5 years, after which they pay full taxes like everyone else."
Rebuttal: 5 years is long enough to save $38,250 in FICA taxes alone (on a $100k salary). That's enough for a 20% down payment on a $191k house. Meanwhile, American citizens are paying full taxes their entire lives and can't save for down payments in VHCOL areas. This argument dismisses the significant financial advantage gained during the most critical wealth-building years (ages 22-27 for most graduates).

>"They contribute to the economy and create jobs!"
>Rajesh: "These workers contribute to the economy, pay rent, buy goods, and help American companies compete globally."
Rebuttal: American citizens would contribute the same way if they had those jobs, PLUS they'd be paying into Social Security and Medicare. The current system creates a perverse incentive where companies prefer foreign workers because they're cheaper (employer saves 7.65% too), while Americans are priced out of their own housing markets.

>"But they can't collect Social Security later!"
>Rajesh: "They can't collect Social Security benefits later since they didn't pay in, so it's fair."
Rebuttal: True, but they're using that money to build wealth. Americans are forced to pay into a system that may not exist when they retire, while F1 workers get immediate wealth-building opportunities.

Good thread anon.

Also go here and do this:

There are 730,000 foreign H1b workers in the US and they are NOT just tech jobs.

NEW /jjg/ thread here:

>Indians are running scams to steal jobs from Americans. This is a campaign to expel them from US jobs. Even if you don't need a job, you can help and you may get a cash payout.

>"Companies pay more in legal fees for H1B sponsorship"
>Pooja: "Companies spend thousands on legal fees for H1B applications, so it's not really cheaper."
Rebuttal: One-time legal fees ($5k-15k) are dwarfed by annual tax savings ($7,650/year on $100k salary). The company breaks even in 1-2 years and saves money every year after that. Plus, many companies have in-house immigration teams that reduce these costs.

>"The tax treaty is reciprocal - Americans get the same benefit abroad!"
>Pooja: "These are reciprocal tax treaties. Americans working in India get the same benefits."
Rebuttal: False equivalence. Few Americans work in India compared to the hundreds of thousands of Indian workers in the US. The scale is completely different, and American workers aren't using these treaties to buy up property in foreign countries and price out local citizens. This argument ignores the massive scale difference and the specific impact on US housing markets.

>"But Americans could never fill all these tech roles!"
>Pooja: "There aren't enough qualified American workers for these specialized roles. Companies need foreign talent to compete."
Rebuttal: If there's truly a shortage, companies should pay market rates to attract American talent instead of getting discounted foreign workers. The current system artificially suppresses wages and removes incentives for companies to train American workers or improve STEM education. This argument addresses the core economic rationale, but ignores the policy's negative effects on American workers and wage suppression.

>"You're just jealous and racist!"
>Pooja: "This is just jealousy of successful immigrants. You're targeting Indians specifically."
Rebuttal: This isn't about race or nationality, it's about policy that disadvantages American citizens regardless of their background. The data shows Indians are the largest group using this system, but the issue would exist regardless. Facts aren't racist.

The OPT Tax Loophole: How F1 Students Save 15.3% While Americans Pay Full Taxes

>be American citizen
>pay 6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare = 7.65% FICA tax
>F1 visa student on OPT pays 0% FICA tax
>gets same job at Amazon, saves $15,300 per year on $100k salary
>uses tax savings to buy property in VHCOL area
>Americans can't afford down payment because they're paying full taxes

This is the reality of our broken immigration system that nobody talks about.

THE FACTS:
• F1 visa holders are exempt from FICA taxes (Social Security & Medicare) for their first 5 years in the US
• This saves them 15.3% total (7.65% employee + 7.65% employer match)
• OPT workers can work for 12-36 months while enjoying this tax exemption
• During this time, they're trying for the H1B lottery (65,000 regular + 20,000 master's cap)
• Indians bought 4,700 homes worth $2.2 billion in the US in 2024-25
• This represents 6% of all foreign property purchases

No. No one who has ever worked with an Indian thinks they are highly educated or intelligent, and they certainly do not work hard.

In my 20 years in US tech, I have yet to meet a single Indian who was competent at even a basic level. They are always incompetent and lie to cover their incompetence.

Indian culture is incompatible with Western Civilization.

>In India, I have rarely seen someone in authority take the initiative to solve a problem he was responsible for. When I was at university, an underaged boy who worked in the kitchen was raped and sodomized by the janitors. I reported the matter, but not only did no one in authority do what was right — something well within their power — the authorities and fellow students threatened me with severe consequences if I pursued the matter further. Devoid of empathy, they also made fun of the boy and me.

>Yes, there is an element of sadism here. There is some degree of pleasure that Indians take in the pain suffered by others. The attitude of the authorities was like that of the high-placed Delhi bureaucrat who told me that his Black Label whiskey tastes so much better because he knows that most Indians can’t afford to drink it.

>This confuses Westerners. If they had power, even if they were corrupt, in a situation where there was nothing to gain or lose — no bribes to receive since both parties were poor, and no risk of offending someone well-connected — they would do the right thing and book the alleged rapist. These Indians would do nothing, not even lift a finger, unless there was a reward: money or sex. Their apathy was bottomless.

Foreigners should ALWAYS pay higher taxes, doesn't matter this philosophical idea of them getting paid out by SS in the future or nothing like that, they are visitors to the US and it is their pleasure in being here. There is a huge demand and it is foolish for the United States to not cash in on this insane demand.

What is the most ridiculous in all of this is not only are these pre-H1Bs paying LESS taxes but they are also taking away high paying jobs and gobbling up properties and renting them out to US citizens. Talk about a broken system and the fact they remain so hush-hush about this over the years and the fact that Rajeshes like >>517330591 hiding behind their memeflag just show how much of a hivemind they are.
