Most of the educated ones seem to start off as Democrats because they seem to be more inclusive in their liberal views but then when the inclusiveness covers the "bloody gays", at least "more religious" ones move over a bit to the center. Eventually, once they are all settled and comfortable, they end up on the Republican side since typically, the NRIs earn a big chunk of change and the Republicans are always helpful with tax cuts. Plus, they are more open to globalization (so more H1B), etc. However, such an analysis is a bit skewed, since there has not really been a seriously left-leaning Democrat in the White House for nearly 3 decades (Bill Clinton being fairly pro-business and globalization). On the other hand, Bush has been so bad that I know a bunch of Greencard holders who had been happily living here for many, many years are now opting for citizenship just so that they can vote in the next election.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128315940733588582noreply@blogger.com
