If Raj was paid the exact same amount as the American, and had the same bargaining power, that would be one thing. But Raj doesn't. Raj is stuck in the job, terrified of being fired, and making far less than the American. This is a not horrible situation for Raj, but it is making a worse job than the one they'd have to give an American.
It also makes the jobs of the Americans already working there less stable (as terrified Raj isn't going to leave).
- jquery 14y agoMy wife was a Raj and you described her situation perfectly. Strangely, after getting her green card she got a promotion and a 50% raise.
- philwelch 14y agoSo make it easier for Raj. Don't make it even harder.
- gte910h 14y agoI didn't say "No green cards". I said "No H1B visas". There is a good amount of the former. I'm not sure there is a good amount greater than 0 for the latter.
