I'm not 100% sure but I'm willing to go out on a limb and state that (b) doesn't apply to me.

I work in a building of more than 1,000 people. Something like 80% of them are from India. This is in metro Dallas. My workplace, to quote Obama, "Doesn't look like America". It looks like India. This is strange. What gives? I have heard some of the few Americans that do work there tell me that they feel like they are being "managed out". I was brought in as a contractor because they had a very hard time finding someone with experience of a certain system that I happened to have.
Maybe you lack the leadership qualities to rally your team together.
Didn't know Indians couldn't be Americans.
I thank God that Israel is safe from this.

Or are you not established anywhere?
---Why?

Why shouldn't they be?
Do any of them look like Parminder Nagra?
So a question gets a deflection instead of an answer. Noted.
I asked "Why" because you said "Thank God Israel is safe from this."
I should actually ask "HOW". How is Israel safe from "this"...
What is "this"? Is immigration "this"?
How is Israel safe from it?
Do you live in Israel?
This is basically just abuse of the H-2B visa program and it’s pretty common in technology business. It’s much cheaper to pay an employment agency to bring people over here from India on a contract basis than to hire real American employees.

They are simply prioritizing profit and attempting to provide a good return on investment. Isn't this what corporations are supposed to do? This seems to be a matter of faith among my Republican friends.
Abuse of a government program. We have workers protection law for a reason, that they are trying to subvert. That if a given company is having trouble finding labor then they have to offer better compensation to entice workers to leave there current jobs to come over. Creating a biding war that moves laborers benefits and wages upwards. So we all can benefit from a thriving economy. If not then they can deal with having less employees. Abusing programs that provide some relief to this only hurts all americans who are looking for higher wages.

Sounds like a business owned by an India Indian who favors people of his own heritage. A sort of racism I suppose but in this day and age, relatively harmless. I suspect the non-Indians on the work force do probably feel somewhat insecure as a result of it, but whether or not their jobs actually are insecure, nobody forces them to work there. I have been a similar minority on two or three of the many jobs I have had over the years, but it has not been a problem for me. May not be for them either.
Sounds like software support systems work. Indian/s have invested heavily in getting educations in computer science/software/programming and have some of the largest support companies in the world in these fields.
The site in the US is likely the US operations of an Indian company providing immediate customer support services. Being staffed by people who understand the systems and process's that company has, likely through H2B/H1B visa's for the most part.
Although a past Indian coworker of mine believes there are a good 2 million Indians in the US illegally (a statement he made about 4 years ago)
I don't see that any evidence of abuse was provided in the op. All I see is the feeling that there are too many Indians in the area.
Corporations have no obligation to hire American citizens, or pay wages above the minimum needed to get the type of workers they require. In the absence of any fraud or abuse of government-imposed regulations and red tape, corporations who get the labor they need at the lowest price possible are simply fulfilling their financial obligation to their shareholders.

No I don't live in Israel. I'm a Christian.
Jews will never be replaced in their own homeland.
