Well, if they go to work for Tata or other similar SW sweatshops, that's an issue they should have investigated before taking that job.

Today there's Glassdoor (and others) and not knowing if your salary is competitive or not should be a factor in accepting a job overseas.

Especially in SW engineering good labour != cheap labour.

So we are going to ignore the 800lb gorilla? We will ignore the fact these firms which are the largest applicants for visas are being investigated by the FBI. And conversely think that Microsoft is doing this not for cheap labor, and there is no PR spin whatsoever around the 'Engineering Shortage' topic. I couldn't buy that.

No, it's not to be ignored, if the FBI is investigating that's a start

But just don't throw away the H1-B system altogether
