btw, the bill is being sponsored by Mike Lee and Kamala Harris. As far as I'm concerned, we're on our own. It remains to be seen if Trump vetoes it or signs it.
Being the cynic that I am, and I completely support President Trump, there is a bill allowing 300K Indians in on H1B visas; it’s already passed the House with 140 repubics voting for it (notice there was virtually no publicity on this) and is scheduled to be voted on by the Senate on Thursday. So...was this just to dupe us...again? wtf? Was this to show how wonderful they are so we’ll be ok with potus signing the bill?

I am a “crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump” supporter who was on board long before FR was...and I have have always had positive dealing with Indians. However, this bill is a travesty.
I am not certain that Trump will veto SB 386...He seems to have a blind spot with H-1B Visas with India...and China too for that matter—has this idea they are all “smart people” yet many H-1B Visa holders have replaced US workers—US workers who ended up having to train the foreign workers...So how much smarter than US citizens can they be???
I am recommending that people call both Trump and their Senators—let them hear from us that we don’t want SB 386 to pass. Bill benefits Mike Lee and Kamala, Utah, and west coast tech titans; however, US workers? Not so much!...).
Not that Senators will listen, but hoping Trump will see there is resistance to this and veto it...It is not our responsibility to support the India middle class.
BTW, another scary component of this bill is the creep of H-1B visas into other fields beyond IT...such as nursing and accounting. Before long, no career will be safe.
I’d rather have some skilled, hard working Indians than illiterate people from other countries, which is what we have now.
