You should be asking that question to your elected congress critters who created the H1-B visa law. I think it is stupid to blame the Indians for accepting jobs offered to them by US based companies.

I blame both. Most of the indians I have worked with had to have knowingly committed fraud of some kind to even claim to be qualified for the job they were hired for. Cheating on tests, ad having other people take tests for you is considered normal in India. They don't see anything at all wrong with it.

And God help a poor American worker who finds himself in a department where an Indian has the ability to hire. He'll be the last one ever even interviewed.

Cheating on visa applications is illegal. Prosecute the cheaters! Simple as that. But can’t throw out the honest ones who accept jobs offered LEGALLY to them. That would smell of prejudice.

Why do you think I decided to take my chances in United States? When I graduated with a masters degree in engineering way back in 1962, gov’t of India had a guaranteed job for me in any government run corporation of my choice. Government had monopolies in that era of PM Nehru for manufacture of machine tools (my speciality), aircraft manufacturing, steel and Aluminum production, Telephone manufacturing, Cement production, Railroad rolling stock manufacturing, etc.

What I was worried about is prejudice based on your language. There are more than a dozen MAJOR languages in India. I can’t understand on word when traveling in half of India unless they can speak English or Hindi. I was impressed the entire US has one language!

My American bosses showed no prejudice during my 4 decades of jobs, so I think I made the right decision to stay.
