The world of Immigration

Guys,
I am again gonna start talking about this H1b thing today. I understand my blog becoming more of a place of immigration issues. Cant help. Off late I have been breathing, eating and sleeping with immigration.

This post is in conjunction with

Let me tell you the truth. Everybody believes that the Desi small firm consultants eats up the share of h1b from the big IT giants. In reality, what are these big IT giants doing with so many H1b's? They are also doing the same thing as the small guys except that these big firms have much more reputation.

Small firm consultants:
For a fee, they get h1b's and then put these guys into some other companies after the actual interviews. They eat 40-50% of the money what the employee earns there.

Big guys like TCS, infy:
They get H1b's for their employees, even though many times that employee is never sent to the US. This is by large a means of retaining employees. The employee will day dream of going to the US someday but which will never happen. Even when they are sent, most of the times they work for some other project than they had initially had applied for the visa. These big guys also loot most of the money from the clients and pay a very small portion to their employees.

Bottom line: H1B visa's should be taken off. A UK visa equivalent of HSMP should be brought in wherein an employee is not tied to his employer. Probably we can have a maximum cap on this.

Guess what, I have been tagged...
Not that usual tag thing which goes on in the blog world. I am an Indian. And now Indians are tagged as prospective-terrorist. Thanks to Kafeel Ahmed and Sabeel Ahmed.
I don't know how many Indians life, you guys screwed up in these UK terror plots.
