They don't have to. I'm talking about the 85,000 yearly H-1B employees + OPT workers. I never slighted U.S. for not having skilled workers, in fact I did mention that U.S. are pretty much pioneers in Software Engineering, CS, etc, they set trends which are copied elsewhere. Remote workers by contrast would be a cheaper alternative for a business than a H-1B employee since they have to adhere to certain conditions and maybe spend to apply for a GC if the employee requests it. India has the worst bureaucracies due to corruption and inefficiency (thankfully it's set to change). Nobody would debate that. I'm aware of incidents where H-1B workers couldn't visit their home country for their parents' funeral because of some document issues. Also, I fail to see how offensive and prejudiced my comments are for pointing out incidents of harassment. And my entire premise is that they don't have to if remote working is an option, thanks for agreeing with me on that.
