A crackdown on the controversial H-1B visa intended for skilled workers has struck Indian citizens harder than other foreign nationals, with federal officials hitting them with more visa denials and demands for proof of their eligibility to work.

And they wonder what has caused the housing shortage in the Bay Area.
Excellent.There are plenty of US citizens trained to do computer work...you’ll just have to pay them a little more.
Trying to lay groundwork for the Ninth Circus to stop Trump on the basis that it’s RAAAACIST.
End the H-1B program NOW!
Housing might be affordable for Americans in California if we weren’t being flooded with H-1Bs

I agree, although I am assuming you need something a little bit more specialized than the ability to use word & excel, I still think it’s reduculous that they can’t (won’t) train U.S. citizens to with these skills. Honestly, Indians all have these specialized silicon valley skill sets and no American’s have them? I call bull. This has to be about money.
Not everyone who is trained in tech is talented in tech—either American or Indian.
Human traffickers can KMA. Shut loser.
Millions of Indians stay beyond their H-1B visas waiting for their next contract. The sponsoring companies illegally sponsor them while claiming the Indians left the country and came back when the Indians stayed.
The H-1B program needs to be canceled and EVERY Indian and foreigner including Chinese, Pols, Russians, needs to be sent home.
A HUGE illegal alien population has been the foreign tech workers abusing the H-1B program.
Any industrious American can learn plenty of tech skills free online.
“Absolutely untrue.”
BS. That’s just you liberal globalists saying, “Just doing the jobs Americans won’t do!”
BS!
They’ll have to close down most of the welfare motels located on near interstate offramps. The Indians have that market locked up.
“Just walk into any STEM program at any college in America “
Since I am a professor, I guess I can say you’re full poop!
An easy 97% of the STEM programs I teach are populated by American students, mostly veterans! So kiss my ass, you liberal globalist.
“has struck Indian citizens harder than other foreign nationals”
As anyone in the Silicon Slum knows, that’s because the H1-B visas are almost 100% given to Indians.
If you read the Indian press, H1-B visa’s are considered an entitlement to them. After that, you can bring the extended family and get them on SSI ASAP.
Which explains why Sunnyvale in the evening looks like a retirement home in Mumbai since all the parents wander the streets in a country they know nothing about and had nothing to do with.
“IT unemployment is below 2% according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and there is a reason why many of those people are unemployed. “
What’s that reason, sunshine?? Losers? Are you calling Americans “losers”??
But then the CEOs with tens of billions of dollars would have to face a pay cut...
They travel to India to review, inspect & update the teams.
The work performed in India is pitiful if the teams are not micromanaged and individuals watched like a hawk by American management.
H-1B is Human Trafficking.
Human Trafficking is against the 13th Amendment banning involuntary servitude as they ban worker’s citizenship involuntarily.
Indians who come to the USA are extremely high fraud risks. Anyone in the industry can tell you that 19 of 20 Indians do NOT have the qualifications they claim to have.
