US pollster says deporting one H-1B visa holder same as 10 illegal aliens, criticised

US pollster Mark Mitchell sparked controversy after urging major US firms to "de-Indianise", blaming Indian H-1B workers for American tech job losses. He said, "For every single H-1B senior developer we send back, that's equivalent to deporting 10 illegal aliens," claiming foreign-born workers have infiltrated Silicon Valley. His remarks triggered backlash online, with many calling them racist.
