in World News America’s jobs aren’t an ‘entitlement’ for India’s workers

Foreign media outlet launches attack when U.S. veteran defends U.S. industry
Once again, Indian media have set their sights on an American citizen, this time a veteran who’s been directly harmed by the broken H-1B system, for nothing more than exercising his First Amendment rights. The article published by M9 News, “Legal H1B Tweaks Could Shake Indian Economy,”, isn’t journalism; it’s foreign gaslighting. The piece mocks the voice of an American patriot, Virgil Bierschwale, for daring to say what millions of displaced Americans know to be true: our immigration system is broken, rigged and ruthlessly exploited.
Nowhere in the article is there any acknowledgment of Bierschwale’s service to this country, his sacrifice, or his relentless efforts to inform and empower Americans through his work and his website Guest Worker Visas, Instead, the authors trivialize his candidacy for U.S. Senate, paint him as irrelevant and attempt to silence his warnings simply because he is not a sitting politician. This is not a minor oversight. It’s a deliberate omission, a calculated attempt to erase the voice of a veteran who continues to fight for his fellow citizens long after his military service.
Rather than engage with the substance of his arguments or confront the economic devastation wrought by the H-1B visa pipeline, the article reduces Bierschwale to a failed candidate, as if only the politically connected or corporate elites have the right to speak on behalf of Americans. The Indian media’s message is clear: Americans should be ashamed to defend their own jobs, while foreign interests are free to demand whatever serves them, no matter the cost to the people who built this nation.
This article says more about India than it does about Virgil
“For many Indian professionals, the American dream wasn’t meant to be stalled at every turn…caught in a system that seems more focused on paperwork than on people.”
The ongoing narrative that the American dream is somehow being “stalled” for Indian professionals by paperwork and procedural requirements is a glaring misdirection, one that conveniently ignores the devastation the H-1B system and offshoring have inflicted on millions of Americans. The real imbalance isn’t bureaucratic red tape; it’s the decades-long displacement of American workers, the shuttering of careers and the hollowing out of entire industries as jobs are systematically funneled overseas or handed to foreign visa holders.
