Because our universities are mandating that students waste their time and money sitting in classes while be indoctrinated in bi-sexual, multi-cultural, global warming, everything bad caused by white people studies.
Notice they didn’t use an Indian as the highlighted example.
We don’t have US citizen Software Engineering middle managers available?
There are risks to working for a startup. Layoffs can occur out of the blue.
Poor guy should have worked for a major Dalit consulting company. They know how scam the H1B visa better than anyone.

Long past time we stopped training our enemies.
Zactly.

Don’t care if they have to leave, they are not US citizens.
The headline tells you right off the bat how you should feel about this particular subject. Don'tcha love modern "journalism"?
This is not OK NPR.
“1A” is the NPR/ WAMU program that has the First Amendment in its title. Recently they had a panel discussion on H1Bs with 3 panelists all from the same side of the ideological spectrum. All from the left. And the host Sasha-Ann Simons who threw softball questions to them occasionally advancing a conservative concept or tweet from a listener which was then swatted like a piñata by the liberal panelist. This format isn’t unusual for an NPR program.
What’s also not unusual is that NPR tried to defend this lopsided panel with the host Sasha-Ann Simons giving the excuse saying 1A had sought participation from defenders of the visa restrictions: White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, and four Republican Senators: Tom Cotton, Charles Grass, Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley. All declined, she said, as did two conservative think tanks, the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. It strains credulity to believe NPR couldn’t find anyone to argue the otherside. The counterpoint. You know, the robust debate they babble about in their code of ethics. So, in typical NPR fashion, they still went ahead with all one-sided, liberal, partisan advocates as their panelists.
But wait. That’s not the worst thing. In a staggering act of hubris, NPR says on air that they essentially BLACKBALLED a conservative think tank, the Center for Immigration Studies. “WE DECLINED TO TALK TO THEM”.

That’s not OK NPR.
(a small segue. NPR never fully explains to the audience why they won’t talk to CIS. Apparently, the Southern Poverty Law Center has branded CIS a hate group, and that’s justification enough for NPR. The new definition for hate group is anyone that disagrees with a liberal.)
When a lack of panel balance has happened in the past, and it’s happened a lot, NPR defenders snarkily assert it’s impossible to provide balance in every show. By balance they continue, NPR means over time. At some time in the future, they will have 3 conservative panelists defending a ban on H1Bs. Sure NPR. We’re waiting.

losing his job set a clock ticking on his time in the United States.As if any of them ever leave.
Sorry. No sympathy here.
I was laid off 2 years ago with a bunch of other Americans so that they could keep their H1Bs. It’s cheaper to lay off Americans, because they don’t have to pay Americans repatriation expenses to send them back.
The Chronicle must have combed the desert to find an out of work Israeli.
For some reason they always ignore the +100k Indians working in SV brought in under H1b.
“Americans who lost jobs to H1-B visa holders face painful predicament”
Farm boy, you don't believe that crap for a second do you?
Feel good story of the day.
