[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]but only a tiny percentage of H-1Bs are in that league. Even among the former foreign students now in the worKorce--the group the industry claims are especially talented--the immigrants on average produce fewer patents per capita, are less likely to work in R&D, and have their U.S. degrees from lower-ranked schools than Americans of the same education, age and so on.

Meanwhile, the H-1B program results in many of our own best and brightest U.S. citizens and permanent residents being squeezed out of the market once they accumulate 10 years or so of experience, and worse, many top college students are discouraged by H-1B and offshoring from pursuing the field in the first place.

In other words, H-1B is causing an internal brain drain of the best and brightest American talents. This has been explicitly recognized by UC Berkeley researchers, and as noted earlier, by a blue ribbon commission in the National Institutes of Health. The latter focused on the PhD level.[/quote]

I am one of those immigrants and I can attest to the above. This is very accurate. When I came to this country I had to get admission in an Ivy League school with a scholarship. I felt really proud to be part of this country and felt like I earned my place here.

Now I see students coming here with admissions to third-rated universities with irrelevant areas of studies. All these immigrants somehow end up as IT consultants.[/quote]

the Indians I know that immigrated in 90's and early 2000 are against the H1B also, especially as it has exploded out of control in last 10 years.  It has NOTHING to do with Best and Brightest.   I had one tell me that H1Bs pollute an IT shop.  He quit and went back to gov doing SOA work.  been here in US 15 years.[/quote]
