US Pollster Wants To ‘De-Indianise’ Tech Companies After H-1B Rant, Top Pollster Mark Mitchell Plans To Start Consultancy

New York : Mark Mitchell, the CEO of Rasmussen Reports—one of America’s top polling companies—has taken his attacks against H-1B visas to an all new level. The H-1B programme, through which American tech companies hire foreign-born talent, has faced increasing scrutiny and crackdown in the second Donald Trump presidency.

I would work until I drop dead,” Mitchell said, responding to a person who commented on the post. The post came even as the MAGA crowd bayed for a curtailment of the H-1B programme, which is used to hire talent unavailable in the US. When you reach the point that the most-educated, most taxpaying, lowest violent crime, zero single mothers group is the one you hate the most, it is pretty clear that YOU are the personification of America’s present-day dysfunction,” commented Kartik Gada on Mitchell’s post.

Gada is a seasoned professional with executive experience in tech, investment banking, venture capital, and hedge funds, and has also taught finance, technology, and economics at Stanford University. Mitchell’s post on him wanting to start a corporate consultancy to “de-Indianise” US companies came just days after he said sending back senior techies on H-1B should be a priority. Every single H-1B, you know, senior developer at Apple that we send back, that’s the equivalent economically probably of deporting 10 illegal aliens.

So I don’t know why we didn’t do that yesterday. And the idea, yes, a lot of these people are entry-level, but a lot of them are making a tonne of money,” Mitchell told American political strategist and media executive Steve Bannon, on Real America’s Voice News on December 8. What makes Mitchell’s threats serious is because he is the CEO of Rasmussen Reports, which is among the top American pollsters.
