Who Gets H-1B Visas? Check Out This List |
|
Criticism by federal legislators is mounting against Indian outsourcing firms that use the H-1B visa foreign worker program to staff their U.S. operations. Critics claim that the Indian firms skirt regulations and use the visas to train workers in the U.S. to facilitate moving jobs offshore.
A government list obtained by InformationWeek of the top 200 companies receiving H-1B visas for foreign workers last year reveals that five of the top 10 were Indian outsourcers. The complete list of 200, however, shows a mix of foreign companies, U.S. technology vendors, and American universities. Microsoft is number three on the list, IBM number eight, and Oracle USA number nine. The New York City Public School system ranks twenty-second on the list, with 642 H-1B visas received last year.http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=199601616

2. How about, eliminate the H-1B and L1 visa programs right now? |
|
But I don't know what good that would do if we're just going to give amnesty to 12 million illegals who are in the country right now.

3. The number '12 million' is a joke. It's more like 20 million +. |
|
Maybe 12 million is all the government wants admit to, and that's way too many no matter how you cut it. So much for 'security'.
I say match up the visas with the tax rolls. Who(m) ever is paying their fair share gets priority. Past that, I have no ideas.
