US pollster and political commentator Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, recently called for 'de-Indianization' of American tech companies, remarking that deporting one senior H-1B developer would have the same economic effect as deporting 10 illegal immigrants.

Mitchell made the troubling comments while speaking to former Trump advisor and leading MAGA voice Stephen K Bannon in his podcast, 'The War Room'.

Mitchell said, "For every single H-1B, you know, senior developer at Apple that we send back, that's the equivalent economically, probably of deporting ten illegal aliens."

He added, "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 ton of money."

Alleging an 'Indification' of US tech companies, he noted that 12 million American tech workers are left jobless because of immigration.

Mitchell further said that American tech companies are attempting to save money by hiring foreign workers and said, “We are talking 60,000, 70,000 dollars a year for roles that pay American engineers 150,000 or more.”

He added, "I think a lot of it is used for ageism because you have a bottomless well of younger third-world engineers."

The pollster doubled down on his comments, in spite of courting controversy, and said on X, "I have never in my life wanted anything more than this: To build a new corporate consultancy helping major firms de-Indianize."
