Answer 1

Yes,You are so right.

I live in the west and sell Saddles and Tack in American we can not even buy the leather for a Saddle as cheap as India can import and sell a complete Saddle for.

Also the majority of all the motels in America are owned and run by India, Indians?

Answer 2

Yes, I know about it, and it's very problematic. INdia is now having a problem with college accreditation. The earlier batch of Indian professionals were considered very good, but with an increase in money involved with the computer industry and engineering, fly by night colleges pops up and hands college diplomas to just about anyone. Our companies do not have an idea on what kind of qualification Indian professional has anymore. Also of what I've seen American companies hier Indian Professionals not because they are the best, but to lower American wages. They want these Indian workers to flood the market to lower the pay in AMerica. SOmetimes they refuse to hire Americans, because tehy want to lower the work condition too. If they hire an Indian, and they complain about the work condition, the company just sends them home to India. It also reduces our security. They did a study on how CHina spies on us, and they passivly do so through professionals sent to study engineering. The problem is India does so and it is probably how they got our Nuclear secrets. Our Defense contrators even studied the possibility to outsourcing some of teh work into foreign countries. Remember, we are technically still hostile towards India. Theer has been a release in Tension , but we are actually allied with China And Pakistan. Also India is currently making a pact against the US with China and Russia to decrease our power in the world. Yes, I know it doesn't make sense, but it's politics.

Answer 3

India is an overpopulated third international country so Indians will artwork low low wages. additionally h1b visa is especially considered one of those slavery, they are able to hearth the Indian every time they choose maximum appropriate to him being deported returned to India, so the Indian is going to settle for artwork place abuse and overwork and dealing without extra time. there are a lot of qualified individuals, yet companies could particularly take inexpensive exertions over hiring individuals.

Answer 4

Mabbe if we fined some of the companies for movin overseas or bringin in workers stead of subsidizin em to pay substandard wages for profit we'd come out on top of the game stead a suckin hind quarters eh ?

Answer 5

I have known this for a long time. This just makes me "sick". And to think our Politicians are PUSHING FOR MORE, it totally blows my mind when the US DOES produce college+ students in these fields. The Big Corps just don't want to pay, they would rather use these Visa's and outsource, or use these Visa's and pay much, much less. Doesn't say much for our Politicians or the greedy employers for that matter. SHAME ON THEM BOTH.

Answer 6

Yes, am aware. At least they are legal and working the system. Perhaps we need to change the system on this issue?



These folks are being paid low legal wage if I am correct. Obviously those that use the vehicle to have these folks come here know and use the law. That's good.



If you don't like it, scream at your rep or senator and tell em' why. Enough pressure and it might just change before you breath your last breath.

Answer 7

Yes and the sick part of it is they are just making a few hundred bucks a month plus room and board. Great way to cheapen the labor force, huh?

Answer 8

I have no problem with Indian people gaining employment, I have a problem with the small wages we pay them. People in those countries are willing to work for piss and we exploit that. Sick. Americans are always angry about losing jobs but have no basic human love for other humans, equally as important, just because they are in another country. Lame.
