@MrRobertLi A joint Duke University – UC Berkeley study revealed that Indian immigrants have founded more engineering and technology companies from 1995 to 2005 than immigrants from the U.K., China, Taiwan and Japan combined.From wikipedia (search indian americans).

@AmericanMale1953 I am an Indian and I totally agree you..but man capitalism is ruling the world these days in India too companies are hiring workers who are bidding for lesser wages.And managers are CEOs are earning skyrocketting salaries as compared to ordinary engineers.So the mantra is if you are talented float your own company.My dear friend sooner or later people will realise how capitalism is eating human values and quality of life.Capitalism favours only people at top.

To be honest Indian Engineers are good only in US not in India.

This bastard guy dosn't even know the meaning of engineer, says that only computer and IT graduates are considered as engineer, then who the hell are those people who are building roads, bridges, cars etc around the world? There is nothing like Civil Er., Mchanical Er., Electrical Er.? What else he can speak correctly then?

@jcaled24 West Africans migrants have more qualifications then Afro-Americans and even whites.

I don't think any American wishes to prohibit, or reduce the amount of legal immigrants. The push for immigration reform is based on illegal Mexican immigrants.It only makes sense to block those type of immigrants, and increase the number of skilled workers allowed citizenship.
