Story: Google to set up in India

Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 19 December 2003, 1:05 AM)

Since there is so much opportunity in India and next to none left in the US, shouldn't we now revoke all L-1s and H-1Bs so that they can all go back and enjoy the wonderful job market and leave those remaining open jobs here for Americans. Everyone knows these visas are being abused to get cheap labor and it stinks. When there are 2000 resumes for a single programming job, there is simply and absolutely NO need for an L-1 or H1-B worker except pure greed. No need anymore in the broader sense as well. Time to end visas in the high tech sector, period. We are highly educated professionals who PAY TAXES, we have house payments, buy cars, actively participate in the economy, to take away our jobs is economic suicide for this country, both in terms of tax revenue lost, to increase in the welfare rolls. Outsourcing IT jobs is a lose-lose situation for everyone, ultimately. Years of experience, years of schooling, years of investment in a company can add up to not being able to get a job painting fingernails!! One more company gutting the middle class, pretty sad.
