India, Inc. is what really destroyed the US economy - the most organized massive ripoff the US has ever seen. These conmen from India clean out our companies and send all the $ home. What a vast con.
Every H1-B pays tax and also pays Social Security and Medicare and when they leave in 6 years they dont get anything, one bcos they have not worked the mandatory 40 periods for SSN and secondly their countries wont help them raise this issue with the US govt. Friends understand that everyone whether indian or american is working hard to feed his family.
cold there be only one congressman in Washington who is actually working for the US workers and citizens and not just a corrupt politician in the pocket of companies like IBM
I don't quite understood the point H1b engineers should leave US after 6 years. H1B is meant for the best and the brightest. If these engineers would immigrate to canada or elsewhere. They would compete with us. Regarding Indian citizens, waiting for their GC for more than 10 years are thinking to migrate to canada . Do you wish americans should immigrate to other countries looking for job? Are we targeting a very small number of H1b workers(out of 67K) and punishing 95% of them who contribute
Actually, H1B is repute to bring the B&B but in 1990 was designed to bring in CS/EE due to a shortfall during the early part of the IT build out( circa 1990-1995). There are other visa classes for "rare workers" but H1B is not designed, dispite what they say, to bring in the B&B. It can't is completely randon.
The problem is that there is no effort by DOL to make sure they leave when their visa expires. According to CIS, about 700K former H1Bs/L1s are still in the US with expired visas. For example, being in the que for a GC doesn't extend the visa. These guys waiting 10y for a GC are just being abused or deluded; if their employers REALLLY wanted to keep them, they would have them in one of the rare worker visa types.
H1b are picked by a lottery - how can it possibly be best and brightest, Canada is not our enemy, I only had 1 emp give me an IQ test, so nobody is really looking for brightest and best they are looking for cheap slave labor. If Microsoft or these other places were really looking for smart people they would try too recruit smart Americans but they make zero effort to look for smart American worker, most do NOT recruit at American Universities.
H1b was picked by lottery because there were more best and the brightest and US employers wanted to hire them. Since the quota was 67K they have to do a lottery system. We are heavily dependent on innovations and we need best brightest at any cost. We want candidates who are dedicated and who love their jobs and ready to put long hours to get results.
How do you pick brightest and best without a test? No test is given to Americans, how do they innovate working as slaves for a body shop like Infosys, Wipro, Satyam or microshaft who has long history of stealing other peoples ideas. It a con game so that the richest %1 can hord all the money and rip off the middle class. Basically they want people who will work as slaves so they bribe congress, -- "the were more best" what kind of gibbersih is that?
Youre not a US citizen or an American worry about Indias sewer problem, caste system or poverty. It wrong for you to say "we need" when your not a citizen. Also learn to speak correct English since your so intelligent.
