What everyone misses here are the 'incentives' paid to American executives by Indian firms to hire H1B programmers. Bribes are a common way of doing business in India and our tech execs are more than willing to be paid to hire H1Bs. Look around at the managers - bet you'll ffind new cars, club memberships, ocean view homes, etc.

BTW - ask one of these H1B types are real engineering question. Don't they all have mechanical degrees? Ask a fluid dynamics question and watch the fun....

Yes, of course my opinion has changed. I can easily find American workers to fill jobs now, which was always my concern.

Not sure why you guys are so hung up on Indians. While I've met some above average Indian developers, these are not the people that I'm talking about. I guess I've said that a couple of times already but it doesn't seem to sink in.

I hope you have changed your mind on guest worker visas with millions of unemployed highly skilled Americans, not everybody is lucky like you to be able to charge 150 an hour.

Someday you will realize that you are not getting projects because you are an American. Remember most H1bs are Indian and they only hire Indian. Nobody is that good specially your skillset which is a dime a dozen now.

BillyBob, I agree.. greed has put our economy where it is and the people who benefit the most are foreign born and a few american scam artists...............Bill Gates, Oracle, IBM, DELL, American Banks...........most anyway have gone the path of outsourcing in everyway possible at the Tax Payers expense.... "Land of Opportunity" ............. until the masters decide we are no longer relevant............

These companies don't remember what made them great... So goes GM so to are the days of the US Tech worker..... unlike GM the US Tech Worker changed and Adapted............til obsolescence.

It quite simply is done to increase the bottom line, irregardless of the output of the company. It should be viewed as a financial MISTAKE by CFO's everywhere. It never works out for anyone but the people making the cheap profit.

Hello - saw a report on CNN about how India's economy seems to be doing well. No recession there... hmmm.... Wonder how that is occurring. Because greedy American businessmen are more concerned with the nest two fiscal quarters than the American economy. I am a Oracle DBA and have been for 18 years. I have worked at companies that ship support overseas to India-based companies. It is an immediate drop in service quality and capabilities - but who cares. Those next two quarters will show a profit, and the boss, or whomever, goes elsewhere and does it at another company. I have worked with many H1B's that are ok - but have yet to see one that rises above the rest. It simply is not right for American-born workers to be out of work, losing everything, having credit scores wrecked, etc., when H1B workers are here with jobs. Takes up more government resources. When we are in the economic slump that we are - the jobs should belong to American citizens first. The rest is elementary.
