H-1B freeze gets mixed reaction in India

BANGALORE, India — A U.S. decision to stop issuing H-1B high-tech visas until October is being criticized here as protectionist.
The U.S. move is "against the spirit of free trade" by India's software industry association, the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom.....

Some Indian companies think that visa restrictions will actually spur outsourcing to countries such as India if there's shortage of U.S. high-tech workers.



Since there is much more than 65,000 unemployed high tech workers here I see no reason to continue the program or outsource the jobs.

There's merely a shortage of high tech workers willing to work for minimum wage.
The brass of a company can't get into that top dollar mansions by actually paying americans
