During my commute bus to downtown, I noticed a lot of Indians. Most likely they're on H1 visas and worked in banks, brokerage firms... Some have or will apply for the green cards eventually. Their living standards have been improved greatly and no one is stupid enough for India to fix their infrastructure and offer similar job opportunities for the equivalent salaries.
Several scenarios:
* If you're a technical manager, which ones you want to hire:
1. H1 workers who will work hard for peanuts but gold when comparing to their native country, or
2. Some one has no incentive to work hard but trying to get your job.
* We should encourage children to get into science and maths. Our system is great for creative folks like Jobs, Gates..., but not for general high tech folks that you find in Google, Microsoft... where most are foreigners and children of foreigners.
If we have enough qualified professionals, we can cut down H1 visas. Today we can't otherwise our high tech will not be competitive. Most H1 recipients eventually get their green cards, and move their parents to US burdening our welfare and entitlement system.
