An enlightening article on the new "visa raj" that has become fashionable in the US - a backlash against the shipping of US jobs to India and China. Little do they realize that this is going to add nitroglycerine to the fire :
1. Software companies will face an even more acute shortage of talent due to all the visa restrictions.
2. Pay will bloat in the US, making it even more un-economical to keep jobs in the US.
3. Go where the talent is. Lets go to India!
If things continue the way they are, all the H1B types are simply going to go to India and continue what they were doing in the US, for close to the same pay. Not a bad deal, I think.

Wow, why would they reduce the no of Visas! It s really stupid because anyways they only find s/w engg of Asian origin. So, if we do not get to work at the US, we will get the job done in India!!!
exactly. that is what is going to happen.
anyway, this immigration reform thing is also going on. lets see what comes out from that.
Would you be there for the BluesFest this weekned ...
I'm planning a trip on saturday, that is if it doesnt rain!
cool. yeah i am planning to go as well.
Btw Artful,
the US Immigration Bill has more to do with millions of Mexican illegal immigrants than backlash against outsourcing ...
many studies show they are heavy burden on social security and health system...
Also it's part of "secure the borders" strategy which the current administration is negelecting, but it has widespread popularity among the American citizens and all recommended by the 9/11 commission.
"Close to the same pay" is not going to happen... but yeah, jobs will get offshore-d more and more.
[intern] yes immigration is currently a huge issue in the us. sad the bill got shot down. i think its one of the more progressive measures bush has taken in his 8 years.
[black king] true. but in terms of standard of living i think they are quite close.
