This reminds me of my time in Dubai working along side an American who complained about those going to the US on working visas then sending money home to their families? All of us were on tax free contracts earning silly amounts of money and yes sending most of it home that seems to have been forgotten by him or somehow did not matter.

How can you say "non tax paying contractors!" You don't know anything about H1B visa.

I am on H1B for 8 yrs and I will be for next 3-5 years . I am paying 28-33% tax depending on my pay check.

And every one in USA talks as if they are super qualified. Let me ask you this...how many young americans (don't include immigrants) are

graduating with STEM degrees? Bottom line ...this country needs outside talent. And once it starts there is no going back (coz it works out well for

both upper management and so called contractors )....deal with it.

Hey Anonymous133721--where have you been for the past seven years? We already have an idiot president that the world has laughed at. Especially the people with ISIS and the Iran regime.

You can quote the KKK, and call people racists until your face turns blue, but tell that to the IT power company ex-employees in California that had to train their unqualified visa holder replacements. Also tell that to the IT ex-employees that entered a lawsuit for discrimination while in a job fair that was set up by the company laying them off. The lawsuit states that they were ignored by the contracting companies while their Indian counterparts were helped to get into other positions. I am sure none of these people ever thought about this until it happened to them. Anybody can be politically correct until it happens to them.

Good luck everybody,

Is everywhere:

"In 2013, Infosys, an India-based IT services firm, had 509 workers assigned to Apple sites in Cupertino, Calif. Of that number, 499 are listed as Asian, or 98%, with the remaining 10 identified as either white or black, according to government records. Nearly 86% of the H-1B visas issued by the U.S. for workers in computer occupations are for people from India."
