Is it though? What's this issue all about? Indian Americans stealing high paying jobs. It's not about crime, illegal immigration overwhelming the system but indian immigrants who gets paid upwards of $80k is replacing Americans. Like lol this is the big reputational damage Indian Americans are going to take? I'd take that anyday over being called terrorist.
What's next? Banning spell bee for Indian Americans? Or kicking Indians out of International science and math Olympiads? Sure these recommendations of wignats are seriously going to affect our softpower and reputation. Thanks for pointing it out.
I couldn't care any less about if Americans decide to end H1B, you think this as a zero sum game. There is enough high paying jobs everywhere, the world is our playground, if we want to migrate we can, I'd rather have these folks stay in India and be part of our economy.
All the Asians countries went through this phase, an uptick in a number of smart immigrants to the west and once economy hit the middle income the migration got lower and lower.
If companies like Visa, American Express, Coca-Cola, Cisco, Citigroup, Ford, Jeep, Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Pepsi, Amazon, KFC, Pfizer, 3M, and countless others can access the Indian market, then Indian tech services have every right to offer their expertise and workforce in the U.S
The real issue is that some people are fine with foreigners doing low-tech, menial work, but balk when those same foreigners excel in high-value jobs they consider their own.
It is lower wage in the Tech sector. But in the overall scheme of things it is a much higher wage than say a taxi driver or a McDonald cashier.Get off your high horse. The hlb is a low wage scam the idea that ALL of these H-1B Indians are high tech is a lie and as others have said the few that are legit high skilled are held in roles they can't change because of the way the sponsorship works. These are jobs Americans will do and many are laid off in favour of less expensive hibs etc never mind the fact that often times the hiring managers are often either double dipping or have family that are profiting off the US hiring in India.
It's Americans that are opposed@kambhakt
Well since our PAK & BD bros are so opposed to poaching on American tech jobs, hopefully those 5k/ 3k jobs which could have gone to them neeen't go to them and be diverted to Indians instead.

Cognizant and infosys are condulting firms. They work with other companies for certain projects. So it is necessary for them to have many H1Bs for the projects they outsourced. These people then return after completion of their project. I worked for a Mauritian project when I was in L&T, once the project is done we went home.I'll give you a few lols you can start with the actual cases found against Cognizant and Infosys as real reputational damage
Not one Indian has acknowledged these but it's the most substantive point
The volume of Indians is old news, interesting that LEFT AND RIGHT have aligned on this very quickly
I don't think the h1b situation can change quickly especially now it's established, but Indians will have to justify it by essentially saying they are better than Americans hmm ok
Btw Chinese might take you guys, it's basically china or USA for big tech![]()
@r3alist
I know it is the Americans who are opposed. And I can understand their angst. What I am curious to know is why our PAK & BD bros are so aggrieved. Not that I dispute their right to be aggrieved for whatever reason.

If H1B is cancelled, they are not getting anything as no one is opening offices in BD or Pakistan.@kambhakt

The number of American unemployed tech workers are far lower than the number of H1B workers. If they remove a 100000 visas, they will find 5000 Americans to fill the posts. The rest 95000 will have to be given to someone. These 100000 will also include 5000 Pakistani and 3000 Bangladeshi. And around 60000 Indians.
