“Each year, the American government hands out 65,000 H-1B visas”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XGJq8wrw5I

Funny, but all too real.

At least they are obtaining legal visas. India should be mad at Mexico for the reasons behind the ‘protectionist’ stance IMO.

Tough beans. We shouldn't be bailing out people in the U.S. We have absolutely no responsibility to be bailing out India. Get over it.

I've traveled on business to India twice in the last three years and have had to have a Visa to enter India and stay for the week or so that business demands.

And I really wouldn't want to live in that sh*t hole anyways, but I have to have a Visa.

So you Indians, STFU.

Cut the other 65,000 HB-1 visas and then they’ll have something to whine about. One of these days the American worker is going to get ticked off about not having a job.

Tough sh*t, India. It isn’t enough that four of my jobs have been exported to your country you consider it a RIGHT to come here and take the jobs we have left?

...but, they don’t want to verify the status of illegal alien employees. Why, people who obtain H1B visas might stay and become Republicans, illegals are registered by ACORN and vote Democrat.

As if it will make much of a difference.

One answer, subsidiaries of these corps can set up shop in India, hire locally and get the bailout money anyway.

There’s that pesky word, “directly”.

In effect, a visa that had been designed for U.S. corporations to remain competitive at a time of talent shortage
A shortage of CHEAP talent.


had become a blessing for the U.S. operations of global Indian companies, allowing them to send engineers from India, rather than hiring locally.

...rather than hiring locally...
That's why nobody who works for a living cares.

I really don’t understand why any nation would have a problem with another nation (whos trade deficit is so high it should cause economic collapse) saying no.

Hey India, no. And sorry about that.
Next step is to cancel our subscription to “funder of failing third world governments”. I’m not gonna hold my breath on that one. I mean, isn’t Kenya on that list.

Ooops.

Obama will make it right so everyone in the World loves USA and is well fed and housed and given free medical care.

Let us not forget the bill introduced by Spector to increase the number of H2B visas from 66,000 to 330,000! Friends of mine have been totally screwed over by Vail Resorts Intenational’s use of H2B and Q-1 Visas! AMERICANS MUST WORK FIRST!

Heck. All they need to do is move to Gaza and join Hamas. Then come into the U.S. along with the thousands of others essentially “invited” by oscumbo.

"It makes no economic sense at all."

Except to the American citizen that gets a job.

Classic misdirection.

No names, just unnamed sources, ‘critics say..’, ‘experts say...’.

The Indians aren’t dumb. They know better than to push America on an issue on which they really have no locus standi. The farticle is suspicious and reads like a hit job.

THE H1B program is a joke, its a scam and it should have died a long time ago, 65000 is more than enough visas for legitimate needs. Companies however don’t use it legitimately they abuse it and cheat.

The H1B is to white collar what the illegal immigrant is to blue collar, pure and simple.
