I want immigrants who love America. Not India. There's a reason India is a giant **** hole and it's not because it's run by Americans.
India is a giant s**hole because it was invaded and ruled for foreign powers like Muslims and European powers for 1000 years. Until 1700 AD, India was the world's largest GDP and the richest country.
History goes far beyond 1776.
And let's be careful before we laugh at others. Muslim immigrants have turned beautiful Europe into a sheethole in the last 25 years. Muslims, H1Bs and others are going to to the same to the US also.

This is one of those stats that gets thrown around and is absolutely meaningless when you look into it. India wasn't India in 1700, it was the Mughal Empire which didn't include much of now southern India and did include modern Bangladesh, Pakistan, and part of Nepal and Afghanistan. There was no cohesive culture or language and nobody could communicate with each other as almost nobody could read/write and very few could speak a second language. Moreover, GDP prior to the Industrial Revolution was almost entirely driven by a combination of natural resources and population. India was rich in both. The GDP PER CAPITA in 1700 of the Mughal Empire was less than a third to a fourth of the European powers. And the wealth that did exist was concentrated within the upper hierarchy of the empire. 99% of Indians were a kind of poor that doesn't even exist in much of the world today, and a kind of poor that even most modern poor Indians don't experienced.
The only reason India is a semi functional, unified nation today is because of the language and systems of education/government brought by the British. Literally EVERYTHING useful and functional about their nation today operates under rules and decorum introduced by the British. Similar to the European slave trade, while it was awful at the time their descendants are much better off than they would have been had it never happened. These people couldn't even speak to one another until the British empire forced them all to learn English.
You are just coping with that argument. India of 1900 is not the India of 2026. Same with the US which has changed. We are talking about civilizations here, not political countries which is a newer construct.
If you go back to 300BC, then India was among the most advanced civilizations on earth. The downfall happened after the Muslims invaded in 700AD.
Tell me, why would people invaded one after the other if a country was not rich? Would you invade Somalia? Ethiopia?
Don't give me the arguments of the evangelists. Their end goal is always "so we need to covert your ass so we can tell you what to do".
The British did nothing. They just looted the place and took out the wealth back England. They built the tains do help them do that. Take away 1000 years of Muslims and all the Europeans and India would have been on a different trajectory today. But then no one can say for sure other than go by what existed then. The Brits cannot even protect their own country today.
