70 percent of the H-1B foreign visas come from India according to a Washington Post article. And that was only the first of the statements that could make your blood pressure jump.
Let's start with the fact that the reason we are importing people from India to do our high tech jobs is that they are better educated.Two, they work for less which helps suppress wages here. Three, it is a path to permanent green card status.
However, green card applicants cannot change jobs without starting the process all over and with the 10 year backlog of green card applications a company has a lock on an underpaid employee for a very long time. There is a lot wrong with this system. Hopefully, it will be given a careful review by the new administration, in the meantime, they have promised to keep a close eye on companies who hire foreign workers.
