I'm inclined to agree. I'm seeing fuzzy words like "several" and "many", but no actual numbers to quantify or estimate how many U.S. workers were replaced with immigrants. It also doesn't begin to discuss how many of the laid-off workers were immigrants, or how many new workers were citizens. This just sounds like a general off-loading of highly-salaried individuals, which I suspect would have been done independent of companies like Infosys.
Also, just a general off-topic thought. The article talks about how H1-B's tend to have lower salaries than U.S. tech workers. I'm under the impression that many of these H1-B candidates are individuals just finishing a degree and will later in their career move on to obtaining a green card after a few years. If this is the case, then of course their salaries are lower; they're earlier in their career. I'd love to see some data exploring this more.
