Bush's Trickle-down Brain Drain |
Wrong again on increasing H1B temporary work visas
http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/16804.asp
They want to increase the H1B quota by 50,000.
They call it ''needed'' because Americans are not there
in the Engineering PhD programs. But let us analyze
some facts.
American citizens are regularly refused admission and
financial assistance to Engineering PhD programs by the
American Universities.
The professors in these universities love foreign students
especially from India and China because they ''listen and obey''.
A below minimum wage stipend allows these professors to enjoy
their lives while making these student work on the research projects.
This is a virtual shameful 'slave labor'' situation.
It is really no different than a restaurant hiring an illegal
immigrant below minimum wage and making him work
sixteen hour days disobeying all labor laws in America.
Who will enjoy these extra 50,000 H1B quota?
The American corporation will enjoy by bringing in
foreign nationals depressing the wages of American citizens.
Every country should be proud of its own population
and capabilities. America is not. This is sad.
Russia and China do not import foreigners because
they cannot do something. Where is the sense of
American nationalism - just in the war zones of Iraq?
The biggest problem in America today is that the
American lawmakers are mostly attorneys. They do not get it.
Just making sure a child is not left behind is
not good enough in this growing high tech world.
Adequate stimulus needs to be created to attract
Americans towards science, engineering and mathematics.
Half of these lawmakers do not even understand the
difference between graduate level science and engineering programs.
The 50,000 extra quota of H1B will primarily go towards
Indian and other Information Technology body shops
supplying ''cyber slaves'' to American companies.
It is time for Americans to oppose illegal immigrations,
H1B visas and foreign workers. Think about the following.
Let us assume that the Indian and Chinese Governments are
asked to allow hundreds of thousands for foreign nationals
bombard their countries and taking away technical well paying jobs.
What will be the reaction of these Governments? Simply put,
they will not even consider it.
The problem in America is class division in the society.
The H1B quota is being increased to help the rich Americans
and American corporations to artificially lower the professional
wages and disregard labor laws in America.
When a corporation or university hires someone
in H1B, they know that individual cannot work for
any other employers. These individuals are
regularly abused against all set norms of
American labor laws. It is a form of licensed
''illegal immigration'' where the employer gets a
free hand to abuse the worker.
The H1B visa holders have no place to go.
They work day and night with little money
and do not even know where to go and
report abuses. The American employers love to
have these H1B slaves because they are workhorses.
The biggest problem of America today is the notion
among the American corporations and the rich that
free labor is available in the world once you can tap
the developing world. It is no different than keeping
slaves in the southern plantations before the American
civil war.
