H1B is our problem. the return of unwanted Indian workers is their problem. Send ALL INDIAN WORKERS BACK TO INDIA NOW!
Let high IQ, non muzzie, Indians immigrate in large numbers compared to most others.
“The Democrats include Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressmen Hank Johnson, David Ciciline and Henry Cuellar.”
Quite the brain trust there. Hahahahahaha
I give up.
Why should the leader of a foreign country have ANY input into who will live in ours?
And while we’re on the subject:
“Indian professionals and students graduating from US universities claim more than 50% of the 65,000 plus 20,000 H1B visas and L1 intra-company transfer visas”
50%? So the rest of the world - the other 5 billion- somehow don’t count?
And the lives and jobs of American citizens don’t count? What the government elected by those people should care about is....when can India’s people take their jobs from them?
"US India"...sounds like an airline....Shouldn't there be a comma or something there?

Limiting H1Bs will help shore up salaries for American tech workers and keep them employed - H1Bs are being used to drive down salaries for US tech workers. And limiting H1Bs will encourage Indian/Chinese engineers to remain in their home countries and put their educations to work helping their economies. India’s prime minister should want well-educated Indians from good Indian universities - educated on India’s dime - to become taxpayers and contributors to India’s economy.
As such, employers should be willing, nay, eager to pay a premium salary for these critical skills.
Make it a legal requirement that these guest workers who bring crucial skills to America be fairly paid, say at least a 25% premium over the prevailing wage a less skilled American would receive for doing the same job.
It's only fair!
If these people were so desirable to have in one’s country, India’s PM would want them back.
First off I am against raising the wage to something like $200,000 or some other high amount. I am for limiting their wage to what they would get in their own country. Some would think this the opposite effect of what the high wage would do would be wrong. Here is why, the reason is that they come here because the value of their currency. A dollar there will go much further than their own currency will so they will want to come here. However, if their pay was equivalent to the pay in their own country they would not want to spend the bucks to come here.
I recently sat down and spoke with a couple from India who was schooled in the US. They flat out said that in order to get a job here those in IT exaggerate on their resume. A while back I was looking into devBootcamps. All of these stated that the instructor had over 7 years of experience in that particular language. I took a class which promised job placement. The instructor told me to take creative liberties with my resume. After working with co-workers who hailed from India, I am sure a vast majority of them neither had the experience nor the background to be in the position they were in. American companies don’t vette these employees because they believe their Indian counterparts did. Also, it is expensive for the American company to do so.
I am for whatever works to cut down the H1-B visas into this country. A $200K a year job in the USA given to an H1-B visa is a $200K job a US citizen doesn’t get.
o The PM referred to the role of skilled Indian talent in enriching the US economy and societyCharity starts at home.
Stay home and enrich your own economy.
For better or worse, I know how the H1B process works. In short, H1B is a process that is easily manipulated and results in companies paying near slave wages to recent college grads from India, China, Malaysia, etc. who came from rich families and do not want to go home.
Most of these grads will have attained multiple Bachelors and Masters degrees. They become TA’s and do this so they don’t have to return home, and in turn, this creates the loopholes companies use to hire them. All the company has to do to hire them is write a job description that requires a BS Computer Science, MS Computer Science and MBA in International Business. There will be qualified applicants and they will all be H1B (with very rare exception.)
