Double the fees every time a BPO interest complains or tries to abuse immigration law. If they want to cause pain to citizens (for advocating fraud/abuse), they pay the requisite cost.
Quit only when it is more economical to repeal the whole mess, all the way down.
We really should remedy this. Stop all visas.
Just wait till February when their availability is cut in half.
The two words y’all are looking for are “immigration moratorium”.
There are many non-monetary impediments to trade and working overseas. That’s part of not getting a fair deal, which I would hope a President Trump would address.
" It's going to be hard for the Republicans to field a presidential candidate as enthusiastic about the H-1B visa as U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Cruz, who announced his presidential bid this morning, once proposed an immediate increase in the base H-1B cap from 65,000 to 325,000. Cruz offered the H-1B increase as an amendment in 2013 to the Senate's comprehensive immigration bill.
Cruz's amendment was defeated by the Senate's Judiciary Committee, which approved an 180,000 H-1B cap increase in the comprehensive immigration bill. The House never acted on this legislation.
Cruz's H-1B amendment, however, proposed increasing H-1B fees from $1,500 to $2,500 for those with 25 employees or more. The money would be used to create block grants to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education.
During the Senate committee debate, Cruz said imposing restrictions on the visa was unnecessary, but said he would support restrictions if the Judiciary Committee – then debating the bill – would agree to his cap recommendation. Among the restrictions in the Senate bill was a provision aimed at large offshore outsourcing providers that limited their use of H-1B or L-1 visa workers to 50% of their workforce.
Cruz is part of large group of politicians who will not acknowledge the H-1B's visas use in offshore outsourcing or the reality of U.S. workers who are forced to train their visa-holding replacements. In defending this H-1B increase, Cruz cited a study by the American Enterprise Institute, which argued that visa workers create jobs. This organization primarily represents the views of large companies and asset management firms. "
Exactly what I was thinking!
The little yapping poodle, repeating whatever the GOPe chain pullers tell him to say.
Take a look at the H1-b program from an Indian tech worker’s perspective. You can’t get promoted to management in an Indian BPO tech firm without having spent time working on-site at a customer. Most of your customers are in the U.S. and the easiest way to get a visa is the H1-b. No H1-b available, no promotion.
I work with these firms (not my decision) and have gained a good deal of insight over the years. Many H1-b workers in the past stayed here and eventually became citizens. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Now the majority come here for 6 months learn the ropes and return home to be promoted. That is not a good thing for us. The high demand now is partially due to the rotations that didn’t happen as often in the past.
