Chivuks:I dont care about the completion of this project, i need to go on vacation to hawaii... otherwise, what is the point in earning all the money .. is what people in US felt .. so their work, not the jobs .. got outsourced ...
This is not true at all.. there are americans who do great job sticking to ethics and morals.. I rarey see an american on internet and rarely see a desi off internet.. work is offshored coz of weak currency and at the same time quality is not sacrificed.. In this db, there's always someone watching you!!  |

Sami... Still most of the congress feel that h1b/l1 is very important. If usa does nto have this tech then its capabilities towards happening technology will be transfered to asia. USA lekunte.. uk /singapore/aus will grab this people and encourage companies to come to their country..Already production units anni china ki dobbai .. tech kuda india and other coutnries ki pothe..ikkada hard labor tappa inka emi undadu... H1b ki pedda long term plan unnai usa ki.. Gunde mida cheyyi esukoni cheppandi entha mandi foreign student usa ki vastaru h1b lekunte? i do nto think any one from india would come here..

basky ... if u r in US, u wish H1B's should be flexible .. if u r in India, you wish outsourcing needs to be promoted ... it is all theory of relativity .. by no means a good post, in my opinion ... 15 years back, the philosophy was entirely different .. I dont care about the completion of this project, i need to go on vacation to hawaii... otherwise, what is the point in earning all the money .. is what people in US felt .. so their work, not the jobs .. got outsourced ... |

In CNN post by someone, We all should keep in mind what could happen if H-1B/L-1 category visas are banned completely. H-1B/L-1 visa allows a foreign individual to be physically present in the US and accept employment. Although the work in being done by a foreign national, he still pays state and federal taxes, contributes to the social security fund (only a very few end up retiring in US and claim the benefits), Medicare etc. If H-1B/L-1 visas were banned all together, a lot more work will be shipped abroad and along with it the money the federal and state governments could have earned in taxes.The assumption that the guest workers are used as cheap substitute is completely absurd (well … partially). Employers are required to pay guest workers prevailing wages that exists in the region that they employ them. This clause in the guest worker program is to ensure that guest workers are not used as cheap labor. But the H-1B/L-I visas are employer dependent, i.e. a company has to sponsor these visas and the guest worker can only work for that organization unless he can find another company to continue supporting the H-1B. It is a kind of “bonded labor” i.e. the guest worker is not a free agent. The guest worker cannot freely choose to work for another employer if his current employer does not treat him well – denies pay raises, denies promotion, demotes him/her, etc. Thus companies can manage attrition without additional costs. This is one of the many ways companies can potentially exploit guest workers. Senators should propose a bill that makes guest workers “free agents” once certain conditions are met. The problem we have to day is that US does not have too many “free agent” guest workers. If guest workers were free to choose employers, we will see wages increasing and only the crème’ de la crème of the guest workers will remain in the US.
