Here we go again. This is a moot discussion, there are not enough American citizens out there to fill the positions, period.
And as far as wages go the DOL is pretty strict on what needs to be paid.
Also its more expensive for the company, since it has to pay for immigration fees.
Yeah, it can be used as a tool to keep people from switching employers, since they always require sponsorship.
But this is like the old slogan all politicians use "Bring manufacturing jobs back to America", never going to happen.
So wake up, get your kids into science and engineering and they may still have a job. Or better still save up for them, since they are going to be hanging out in your basement playing WOW.
I am glad this topic came up. For all the hype sweeping up India I think they need to focus on innovation and then call themselves the next Technology Superpower.
I was a victim of the Indian System. I did my undergrad there and those years were the most harrowing . All it involved was rote learning, which I was never good that. It took me 6 years to get through those 4 years. I questioned myself several times over that period. Then I came to the US and started my MS programme. What I experienced in my first few weeks was what I had been dreaming of all my life.
All those ingredients like free thinking, risk taking and freedom of speech, things for which I was called rebellious were the norm here.
And that is the truth in why we do not see a single Product based India IT Company in the news. All these mega companies are in the IT service segment.

I read that as "Exotic Hardons"

Just proves the theory that dumb people should not be allowed to become parents!
