This story isn’t really about India at all. In fact this whole H-1b visa saga is about ending unfair hiring practices discriminating against US workers.

Many decades ago Bill Gates and other tech oligarchs chose to brain drain India. They could have chosen China or the Eastern block.

I just hope everyone gets that.

Maybe they will have to lower tuition rate so Americans will want to go to their college

I’m going to guess that H1B paid grad students are low cost labor for university professors with big research budgets. To hell with them. Hire American.

“...Professor Jorge Coronado, an expert in modern Latin American and Andean literature...”

That is one hell of an “expert”. This is what USA taxpayers are funding. That degree should be enough to shine shoes in the private sector. /spit

“H1B Attack” ROTFLMAO! Its a fee you corporate shills....a fee that protects American workers from hordes of imported cheap labor after the giveaway to corporations that allowed them to cheat the free market and screw over American workers for 35 years. Boo Hoo, they’ll just have to hire Americans in America....and they’ll have to pay wages determined by the free market. Oh the horror!

I’m glad to see President Trump is cracking down on the OPT visas. We have 750,000 H1Bs but we also have about 420,000 OPTs. Well over 1 million imported indentured servants has badly distorted the American labor market.

Every one of those programs is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by the US taxpayers. So, excuse me for not crying.

All of these universities can dip into their multi-billion dollar endowments and open universities in India. If there are that many wealthy Indian students seeking a degree, they could make a fortune in tuition.

The bonus is they have a lot of professors that hate America and White people and would probably follow them there.

“roughly 85,000 new commercial H-1B visas awarded each year”

A cause for mourning for American stem workers.

First off, I don’t think universities care about IQ. If Indians can get a dumbed down degree they’re going to get hired. In my experience in high tech a whole lot of average H1-Bs are getting hired along with a few dolts.

Defund the universities!!! Get rid of their federal funding and get rid of their high-paying foreign students.

Many, many years ago our company bought a cable TV company in Australia. We started cycling managers through Sydney as a part of the “management development” program for senior managers.

The steps that a person had to go through to prove that they held skills that were needed and not available in Australia were intense. After about five years the Aussie government kind of looked at our senior management and told them we needed to train the Australians better because they were not allowing it any more.

I get the sense that our government is not looking that closely at these things. //sarc

46% of Columbia University graduates in 2023 were foreigners.

That’s something to think about when you see “protestors” at Columbia.

I don’t see the list in the excerpt, but my guess would be a bunch of far-left schools.

Too damn bad! The H1B Visa program was never intended as anything other than a means of filling a very few jobs that no Americans, were very few Americans, were qualified to fill. It was not intended to be a means by which industry would cut labor costs at the expense of American citizens, nor as it means for American universities to do the same thing. Don’t tell me That there aren’t plenty of American graduates with degrees from these very same universities, who could do lower level teaching jobs - of course there are, but the universities are paying less for the foreigners. Screw them - meaning both the universities and the foreign students. Kudos to Trump for returning this visa program to its original roots of filling very few jobs, and thereby helping American workers.
