On the white collar front, skilled legal immigrants, particularly from India, have severely depressed wages in all technology fields. Companies use Indians damn near like slaves in IT jobs and pay them far below the average salary, but they're happy to take it knowing they'll get their family over here and be legal citizens with full citizenship in 10 years.


The bolded part is simply not true. Given the current US legal-immigration laws, most Indians in USA who are currently applying for green cards, are looking at a 50-60 year long backlog to even get the green card.

It's not simple for Asians either. I've been hanging out with a Vietnamese girl that is here on a student visa. She has 1 year from the time she graduates before she must have a US Sponsor (usually the corp they work for) to do their part of the paperwork and pay $$$ for or she'll be forced back to Vietnam.
