Immigration law doesn’t target Indian immigrants. They take the largest share of employment-based Green Cards each year.
The problem is the dual-intent nature of the H-1B program that pushes a business model to displace/discriminate American workers using cheaper Indian workers.

75% of H-1B visa go to Indian nationals each year & the top 10 sponsors of H-1B visas are Indian IT outsourcing firms. These aren’t “high-skilled” rocket scientists either. These are low-end IT workers that are coming in to displace American IT workers through fissured work. 
The massive oversubscription of the H-1B program by Big Tech & Indian IT outsourcing firms crowds out other nationalities from getting H-1B visas.
If anything, the current H-1B program is stifling true high-skilled talent:

To ensure diversity & no one country being able to monopolize all Green Cards, country cap quotas were introduced to our immigration laws.
Because the H-1B allows foreign workers to also seek Green Cards, naturally Indians make up a HUGE block due to the broken H-1B program.

Removing country caps would ensure only Indian nationals would receive employment-based Green Cards for the next decade & larger backlogs for the Rest Of The World (ROW).
Once those Indians get GCs, they too will eventually be displaced by fresh H-1Bs. indiaabroad.com/opinion/why-th…

Why do Indian nationals make up the highest share of H-1B recipients?
1. India is the mecca for IT outsourcing. They have established offices in the US to take contract work. They use H-1B visas to help facilitate offshoring & to increase profit margins through wage arbitrage.

2. Indian nationals make up the second largest cohort (China is first) of international students. The intent of these students is to find jobs in the US right after graduation & are willing to do whatever it takes for an employer to sponsor the H-1B: motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
3. Nepotism.
Indian immigrant managers tend to hire their own. Many of them in Silicon Valley not only discriminate against US workers, they discriminate against the hiring of other non-Indian workers.

The H-1B program is a total sham!
DC-Libertarians are corporate funded fraudsters that have no idea how immigration policy works & don’t have the interest of American workers.
Their solutions involve expanding immigration so as to enrich the corporate oligarchs that fund them.
