Indian-American Congressman Shri Thanedar proposes the Keep STEM Graduates in America Act (2024)

Congressman Shri Thanedar, representing Michigan's 13th Congressional District, introduced H.R. 9023, the Keep STEM Graduates in America Act, a crucial piece of legislation encouraging promising young students to stay in the US after their studies. The Keep STEM Graduates in American Act proposes reforms to the H-1B visa process and raises the number of available visas each year to make staying in the United States more accessible for individuals capable of contributing to our industry and economy.

The Congress found that foreign students pursuing an education in technology and the sciences have significantly contributed to overall innovation and growth in the U.S. Congressman Thanedar has placed heavy emphasis on the visa process for STEM graduates, thus placing hardworking, merited students at the forefront of his efforts.

Congressman Thanedar used his personal experience to affirm the importance of this legislation: “As an immigrant whose educational opportunities in the US shaped all the subsequent opportunities I received, I understand the importance of keeping our most gifted students in the country.” Representative Thanedar explained how the Keep STEM Graduates in America Act does that, saying, “by expanding the availability of H-1B visas and making the process to obtain one more simple, we take an important and tangible step towards a future where those students with the most potential to innovate will innovate in the US.”

Congressman Thanedar acknowledges the worries and troubles associated with acquiring an H1-B visa post-graduation with tight, strict deadlines in place. “Deadlines dictating a student’s stay in the country is troublesome,” said Congressman Thanedar. “That is precisely why I’m proposing a revision with respect to extensions.”

The Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies voiced support for the legislation: “We thank Congressman Thanedar for introducing this very important bill to retain US-trained STEM graduates. About 300,000 Indian students and millions of foreign students will benefit from this bill. It's a crucial bill as in the tough job market, they need more time to find appropriate opportunities to contribute to the US economy.”

Congressman Thanedar believes every student deserves considerable time to find employment and determine which workspace works best for them. “This bill is just one of many that I support because they bring us closer to a more equitable world while creating a more robust economy to the benefit of Americans and Michiganders.”

Why are foreigners not only allowed to be US politicians but push laws and legislation that are clearly basis against natural born citizens?!

White people really ruined America! It’s really crazy that when you go out nowadays you barely see any non-foreign Black or white people. I went in Costco and it was filled with Indian and Hispanic people and all their children and grandparents. Why does 3 generations and the family pet have to all go grocery shopping? Just turning this country into a mini of their country and we see how those places turned out.

Indian will replace whyites in:

"H-1B specialty occupations may include fields such as architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, business specialties, accounting, law, theology, and the arts."

Indian people are and do the same wherever they go: turn the place into a mini India. Indian people in office will always fight and push for their benefit. They rarely integrate and assimilate. Hindus believe in the discriminatory caste system and will not stop until the entire office, congress is filled with them. It is their religion.

The whyite man better wake up

The H-1B program allows companies and other employers in the United States to temporarily employ foreign workers in occupations that require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor’s degree or higher in the specific specialty, or its equivalent.

This is bullsh*te these people are here to stay and are doing jobs american can easily do. My workplace and former workplace are filled with them doing jobs that should be filled with Americans. Why is America doing this?
