The Democrats have blocked H-1B expansion in the past and they’ll do it again. Obama is just telling Modi what he wants to hear. They only want low-skilled (or no-skilled), low-educated people they can convince to vote for them, not people who are actually productive and express any interest in assimilating.
There is no justification for the numbers of H1-Bs already given out; it is just a program to further reduce American workers to serfdom. India should be more concerned about the brain drain occurring within their country, as their best & brightest flee; it ensures that what is left behind remains very Third World.
Funny, it’s billionaire Democrats like Schmuckerberg who want 20,000 more H1B visas.
