The line about companies not being able to find american workers to fill the tech jobs is a complete fucking lie. There is NO shortage of American tech workers. Companies pay less to the H1B people than they do American workers, and even less when they outsource to India. Saying that H1B caps are hurting the economy is a ridiculous lie!

Well ,it;s a disaster. The tragic part is, the people who pretend they will fix it, are the same who brought us into this situation. There always were enough people in America and Canada + natural immigration through gamily reunification. There always were universities and people willing to get the education needed. BUT there always were also people who no matter how much money they make, they want more more more and are willing to cheat, lie, and betray their country to get more.

Does everyone know who Kamar Aulakh is? He is the faking Indian conman grifter who enarly destroyed software powerfhouse Quark. He was a tester who conned the board into making him CEO. He became CEO, laid off all the American developers who built Quark, and sent all the work to some mud puddle Indian village. The company almost went under as a result. The board finally found him out and fired him but the product had been destroyed. Google on "Quark Debacle".

India's workers are ranked 124th in world worker productivity. Americans are ranked FOURTH. And people seriously expect Indians to help the U.S. economy? HELLO? What's wrong with this picture?

89% of H-1Bs are Indians according to the U.S. DOL. And our economy is a disaster because of them. Deport them all now and watch what happens to the economy.

Yes - I do think America is hurting its ability to compete in a high-tech world - by importing 3rd world morons who can't do the work and keeping the American IT workforce out of jobs.

Funny how BEFORE we started importing all these people (1990s) we had NO PROBLEM competing in high-tech. Now, 10 years of imported guest workers have devastated our economy.

if you want America to compete in high-tech, deport all the Indians and put Americans back to work.

[indiasucksalways]

Only a fool who does not value what he has does not want to protect it.

We should not open all occupations to global competition because other countries are not opening their borders to foreign competition. Japan, India, China - all massively protectionist.

When FOUR MILLION Americans can go work in China and take jobs away from Chinese citizens, come back and then we'll talk.

We should not open our most valuable jobs to idiots because they destroy those jobs.

If these people we are importing are so smart then why are Americans TRAINING them? Most of them come from the 3rd world and have fake verifiable degrees and can't even remotely do the work without being trained by Americans first. I have worked in software for 16 years and the Indians we import will not hire Americans. They HATE us because of British rule of India 150 years ago. People have been making this argument for 10 years and look at the economy now. Put Americans back to work.
