I've responded to similar articles in the past. I welcome this motion. Only thing that bothers me is the fact why it was not enforced earlier. I'm a H1B holder and I support this move.

Yes, yes and yes. Logged in after a long time to up vote on this. I think it takes 2-3 years for people to "get it." As you have mentioned it is indeed depressing. On the flip side, 40% of the employees are slacking off, another 4

Yes, absolutely yes. Why can't you have point system for US vs non-US schools, language skills, job history, offers, international/national/regional awards/publications, patents (of course). It's not that difficult

> What do you mean "under stressful foreign environment"? That's the whole premise of my argument. If backlash against immigrant tech worker continues for an extended period of time, think 5-10 years not 5-10 months. You c

India for East Indians, but not right away. It'll take continuous backlash against tech immigrant for a period of 4-8 years. Then you are going to witness new Silicon Valleys growing up organically in those places. Remember not much ca

Bodyshops like Infosys, TCS and Wipro should be banned or heavily regulated from exploiting the H1B visa. I don't support them. They don't help anyone but the shareholders of the companies. Americans, Indians, Chinese, Govt. and S
