Skilled Workforce Or Just Cost Savings : What is driving H1B Visas?
Is it really true? That in the grand scheme of things around H1B visas, the immigrants and Americans alike are just being played by American companies in search of cost savings?
As I think back on the Indian-Americans I met that night, I can’t help but contrast the kinds of things they said–and the unemotional way they said them–to many of the angry and even ugly comments we got on our High-Tech Sweatshops story after it was published online. It was disturbing to see workers from different nationalities verbally tearing at one another. The situation is reminiscent of earlier eras in American history, when employers played immigrants of different ethnicities against each other to defeat labor unions and keep wages low. Like them, today’s guest workers and American programmers are pawns in somebody else’s game.
