Excuse me, but how can Obama support increasing H-1B visas during a recession?
Good question. Tech companies are cutting employees and the recession isn’t stopping offshore outsourcing. The largest users of the H-1B visa are India offshore companies. When a U.S. company hires an outsourcing vendor, U.S. workers may be required—if they want their severance—to train their H-1B holding replacements. Moreover, offshoring is increasingly being aimed at higher-level jobs.
