well, this is just my opinion(I'm working as a consultant), on average those "indentured servants" from india are significantly better than your average american software engineer.

Well, I truly don't know, so I won't argue the point. But I will say, if that is true, then why not educate our people. Please don't tell me that the only reason they are hired is because they are better workers.

So because these are better workers, we just scuttle the American people, we just forget about the generations to come.

But once again, just like the illegal aliens, the cost to the corporation who is profiting from them might be smaller - but the overall cost to the American taxpayers and America as a whole is huge.

Are you a foreigner on an H-1B Visa? How long have you worked in the industry? I have seen MANY incompetent foreigners and I have had the pleasure of working with many highly skilled and very competent Americans. Just know one thing. The very second the H-1B worker becomes an American citizen or holder of a green card - guess what happens? He/she becomes just another "incompetent" American worker that need not apply to the jobs that are FOR H-1B's ONLY. This has nothing to do with competency - don't flatter yourself so much.

Not in my experience.

I guess it depends on the situation. I wanted developers who could think on their own - the indians could not manage this. They were good at reviewing a spec and pointing out problems. But w/o a detailed spec they are lost.
