This paragraph caught my eye Trump needs to kick Ginni out of the meeting of how to create jobs

The top H-1B sponsor in the country for fiscal year 2017 is Infosys, an Indian consulting and IT services firm, according to MyVisaJobs.com, which tracks visa data. Capgemini, a French consulting and outsourcing firm, and Tata Consultancy Services, an Indian IT and business services firm, round out the top three. IBM, headquartered in upstate New York, is fourth on the list.

To the comment, "whether the make 60 or 80K and no benefits". There are many qualified Americans citizens who would love to have that opportunity.

LOL

Remember, whether they make $60k or $80k, most of them get no benifits as they are contract workers. And they get a tiny per diem, if any at all.

The salary they list is not what they always pay, especially from those Indian body shops. There are many sites that list how these H-1B scam works. I worked with many Infosys folks in Cali, and none of them made close to 80K, it was more like 60K.

Yeah, and these CEO want us to believe there is shortage of skilled workers in the United States. Which is total BS and anyone in the industry knows this. They want cheap labor and indentured servants.
