American techie Klor Anthony Louis has fired up a lively social media discussion, comparing immigration to India and the US.
Known under the digital alias, 'Tony Klor', Louis announced on X that he has been granted a five-year visa by India.
Louis has been granted a B-1 Visa, allowing him to stay in the country till 2030, with the option to enter and exit the country multiple times. Louis' post gained traction for comparing this to the US visa policies under the current administration, which has notably taken an anti-immigrants stance, especially with its recent H-1B visa policy changes.
His short-term business visa allows him to stay in India for 180 days per visit.
In his post on X, he said, "Trump says foreigners go kick rocks. Modi says welcome home bhai", highlighting the reverse brain-drain that experts had predicted during the post H-1B visa policy change debates.

Apart from comparing the two leaders for their positions on immigration, he declared, "It’s official! India is opening its doors to foreign blockchain & AI builders."
X users came in hoards to support Louis, welcoming him to the country and prophesying about the growth of India and the transformation of Indian cities like Bengaluru into US hubs like Silicon Valley.
While many commenters on the post cheered for him and India's immigration policy, some users also pointed out India's high tax rates and lack of institutional support to breakthrough technologies like Crypto and blockchain.
