I have seen companies in DFW hire what seems like 1000's of H1B's and offer to work on their Green cards. These aren't highly skilled jobs, these are jobs that would typically pay more than the 50k that companies are using H1B's so they can pay less. The New Toyota HQ in Plano has more Indians and H1B's than US employees from what I heard. There are many more like them that I won't mention. India is exporting it's poverty all over the world and taking advantage of the US.

  I don't feel like I violated any guidelines. I just basically spoke the truth which might be hard for some to accept. We can't all just close our eyes and let them keep coming here and taking jobs that pay 30%-40% of what a fellow US employee gets payed. Just look at Sabre Systems, Toyota, etc in the DFW area. There are more Indian employees now on H1B visa's than there are American employees. It's in the 1000's and I'm not kidding all because they can work them like dogs and threaten to fire them at any moment and pay the what a office admin would earn. How does this benefit the USA other than decreasing labor costs for corporations at the expense of American jobs. I would like to scrap the whole H1B program all together, it would only be good for American Employees.

Exporting poverty? Ludicrous! What an insane proposition. Its exporting its labor, and us is buying it. And its a better price for both the US and for the Indian person to bring the labor into the US than to keep it there or not have it at all.

> India is exporting it's poverty all over the world and taking advantage of the US. indians (and everyone else on the planet) simply pursue what looks to be a good option. it seems goofy to blame a person for pursuing decent options available to them, so they can better provide for themselves and their family. your whining should be at the legislators who enact policies you disagree with, not with people just trying to live a decent life.
