If immigration is judged by contribution, Indian immigrants are objectively a net positive, unlike other groups such as Somalians, Afghans etc. Indians, they work, pay taxes, and are overrepresented in high skill fields like engineering, medicine, and tech.

Argues Indian immigrants are economically beneficial through employment, taxes, and high-skill contributions, while implicitly contrasting with other immigrant groups.
