I am an IT professional with an IQ tested at 150, 17 years experience, well-received across various audiences/business disciplines and have NEVER been reviewed as less than above average since I started making pizzas in college. Given that, I must take offense to being generalized as a lazy, underqualified person whining about a sense of entitlement.

I was recently laid off by my company by an H1B-to-green card-to-(I think)citizen Indian to make room for 1) bringing in his own team (all Indian thus far) and 2) further increasing their outsourcing, yes, largely to India.

Even so, I am somewhat of two minds. Understanding the fiscal reasoning of companies, I am hard-pressed to reconcile why, particularly when the US economy is troubled, the government is bent on continuing to facilitate the displacement of skilled American workers.

Globally and long term, I see an equalization coming that is probably best for the human race on the whole and a reality check to any American sense of superiority that some may falsely cling to.

I just have a hard time with the US government speeding it along. This also comes from the inflated cost in the US. While $200,000 is good in the US, in India, it will not only outright buy a car and house but leave enough nest egg to live off the interest. To not be prudent about how the disparities are equalized could kill the cash cow that some countries seem to see the US as being.

In short, I at least grasp the fiscal and global implications at a general level, but the ability of American business to increase profit exceeds the rate that the American gov't/economy can understand and absorb such changes. Enron, toxic loans anyone?

FUCKING INDIANS

1: Entire batch (~50 students) of some really filthy second rate college in south India decide to come to US. Almost 90% of them actually get an F1 VISA.( international students pay more fees why wouldn’t the colleges issue I-20).( this is a true story)
They are incompetent, can’t speak English properly, are technically challenged and have no mannerism and smell of sweat and curry masala ALL the time.

2: After finishing up their masters in under 2 years they look for jobs in IT/semiconductor industry and guess what they DON’T get any. They are almost on the brink of getting their dirty curry a@#$# thrown out of the US, when some INDIA mf consultants lure them and sponsor their H1B. They stay on what they call bench period while the consultant adds FAKE experience of years and years on their resume. Everyday training is given to these incompetent Indians to practice interview questions which they have no clue about and everyone of them mugs each answer.

3: The consultants forward these resumes to the HR managers of top IT/Semiconductor companies. Most of the contractual jobs are based on ONLY telephonic interview. The candidate gives a crisp interview based on what was literally fed to him. Also based on such a well tailored resume (read fake resume) the companies hire these consultants without any more questioning.

4: These incompetent candidates land up in senior positions. Learn what they need to learn for a couple of years. Leave the consultant and apply for jobs on their own in industry. they add the two years of experience to their already faked resume and become mangers and team leads before they even hit 26(age).

5: A US student who was doing his graduate studies alongside this incompetent Indian just two years ago suddenly finds himself at a start-level position earning moderate pay and surprisingly his boss/manager is the same masala curry smelling filthy Indian guy who used to sit next to him in the graduate class and didn’t have a clue about what was going around. This US student wonders…was I sleeping for a good 10 years…This guy is already my manager and I am still at level-1 of my job?

6: The solution to such a problem is NOT removing H1Bs. The solution is to monitor these problems at the very initial stage. Why do SOOOO many incompetent south Indians land up in US on the name of Higher education. There should be a strict and very narrow limit. Only extremely competent and bright students should be allowed to enter US for higher studies. All INDIA consultants who for the sake of money sponsor H1B visas to these incompetent filthy Indians should be deported back to India without even questioning.

What I feel is the game of dirty politics, thats all. Like Obama is asking for higher education but he need to think about the environment of study first. A teenage can not concentrate in studies if he get the environments of "SPIRING BREAK" types. Some ground level reforms are required not just bail out money.

Second not a single person want to leave his/ her motherland, we also left India because of their corrupt politicians. We always used to say, we are maintaining US systems (mostly IT), but our own web-sites/ systems (India) are so pathetic. All because of corruptions. But now trends are changings best college (IITians) prefering to stay india than US.

I do not agree that we are cheap, I always found as per my experience I always got equal wages as Americans. Yes, offshore is cheap.

Now salary is also good in India, what I feel, why we like US is not only mone, its because system. Its hassle free system, Americans are very very friendly people (atleast infront of you) or I strongly believe truely they are. So we don't feel scared here. Crime can be happen any where, but till date atleast I felt no racial feelings. Its a land of opportunity, no as such pressure from society for kids. Whatever they want they can study. So its a safe haven for immigrants.

If you see history of America, it based on immigrants only. Original Americans also migrated from Europe. America is strongest nation in the world, so no harm to import best breed here and harvest it more and make it more beautiful.

I do aggree because of corruption and fake H1B (with fake degree and talent) who are creating problems and giving bad names for ALL Indians.

If immigrant will come, then they will purchase cars, house, kids will go schools, relatives will come, they will go vacations etc, paying tax etc so they are also boosting US economy.

Its just like a gun, it depends who is using a terrorist or a true cop.

We love Indians as well as Americans !!! God bless both !!!

Indian Workers slog like donkeys. The fight with each other to polish the american —.

All americans know that indians su– american — to get the job done. especially people from coastal andhra

Fraud in the US Government

Vivek Kundra is part of it along with Susheel Bansal. a H1B holder like many H1B holders who are cheating the US Goverment. Most of the Federal Contracting Jobs are 50% H1B.
