| I'm very sorry that you are upset by the fact that American citizens believe Americans shouldn't have to compete with foreign nationals for jobs. I can totally understand how you might feel like it's an attack against you personally, but it isn't. Abuse of the H1-B system has created profoundly unjust outcomes for American workers, and as an American citizen I feel like I should speak out against programs that are harmful to my fellow citizens. >> But I agree with you, go ahead and remove the H1b visa and send all of us back home. All I then ask is that Indian government enacts laws similar to China (which I think it will, given the current Prime Minister of India) and blocks US companies from operating freely in India, so Indians get a shot at building their own Google, Facebook and Uber. >> Make it a patriotic mission not to use IT from US firms and build it ourselves. I wish you and India nothing but success and prosperity no matter what path you and your country choose! India should absolutely do what needs to be done to protect its citizens and put them first in line for economic opportunities. Just like they do right now! >> Go ahead provide us with that impetus, we will compete with US firms on a global stage. Competition for US firms, in concert with ending the H1-B would produce best of both world results for Americans, both as employees and as consumers. I absolutely welcome any alternative to companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook. |
PS: I was sarcastic in my previous comment, only to highlight the fact that protectionism in US will be met with protectionism in other countries as well and thats terrible for human progress and well being.
