The alternative is massively shipping jobs out to India, and be clear, jobs once moved out are not coming back. H1Bs stay back in the country and spend a portion of their income in the country, thus helping local economy. IBM already employs more than a third of their work force in India, so does accenture, oracle etc. The fact is capital is free to move in search of cheap labor; if labor is not accorded the same flexibility, regional imbalances will soon surface wreaking the local economy. Just like what happened when manufacturing shifted to China.
