The point is in the quote "...Tata only interviewed Americans to be in compliance with the equal opportunity employment commission, and that no Americans were ever hired." That smacks of illegality, and it may well be true.
Then hit the company with a lawsuit. Don't kill me.
Sounds like you have a problem with illegals. Please stop shouting "terrorist" or beating me up when you see me in the street, because I'm here legally. And I pay my taxes, too.
Before some slashbot calls me a racist, let me tell you that I don't care if you are a black, white, hindu, christian, jew or a muslim. If you're American, I've got nothing against you.
Sure, but what scares me is that some ignorant fuck is going to read these articles, jump to the wrong conclusions because of the stupid and ignorant comments posted here (it's not illegal for Americans to work in India with the right visa, H1Bs do have to pay income tax in the US), and beat *me* up. I mean come on, I obey the laws better than some people I see. And yet I'm treated like a terrorist?
I included a bunch of European countries in my last job search. The job descriptions all matched the job description of the job that I have now (which I was hired on during that last job search). I did not get one response to 15+ applications. I may not be in the majority, but I have found it very difficult to find a job over seas, or for that matter, even in Canada.
The article showed no such thing. I doubt that it's illegal.
RTFA.

But I was told, 'Daniel, it is against the law for you to work here. You can come here on vacation, but you can't work here.'
Yes, and it doesn't say it's illegal. It says "I was told...". By whom? Conveniently, it doens't say.
the website is uninformative? I'm not surprised. I'm sure it's not illegal, though. Nor does the article show that it's illegal. This whole thing is based on hearsay and propagates FUD. The original article as well as the/. article should be prosecuted for slander or libel, and fall in the same class of those stories written by that juornalist (NYT? Washington Post?) who made his stories up.

He can get a visa. That last line should be covered under "incitement to riot" laws. It's pure FUD.

Except they're not allowed to do that. Has anyone looked at the procedures for H1 before whining here?
Hmm, and when Windows crashes, can you sue Microsoft?
Troll. I've never heard of this 'meekrab'. Besides, Arby's goes right through me sometimes.
So you're assuming that all H1Bs are unskilled. Gee, thanks.
So then why do people make such a big deal about H1B? That's national-origin-based, too.

This is not true. To get an H1B, you need to have a job. To have a job, you need... guess what? Skills!
Sounds like a TCS policy, not an Indian Government policy. So I should be pissed because Boeing won't hire me?
Would you be willing to move there, go through a convoluted visa process, and if you're lucky, get a 10-hour-a-day job for $700/month?
None of that makes english the official language.
English is not the national language of India.
Population problem is here now.
Remove the spaces. I didn't want them to get /.ed.
Doesn't matter, according to this guy Linux is a fake OS anyway:5 27.html

Too many blogs. I'll stick to livejournal, TYVM. At least it's relatively ad-free and I can get RSS feeds and export my journal.
