[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m third gen Indian.  Grandfather immigrated here during the late 1950s on a student visa.  In those days, Indian workers were prized and highly sought after by US employers for their incredible work ethic, professionalism, skills, etc.   He had planned to return to India after his education however a major corp made a lucrative offer (and he received his green card within months after joining) he could not refuse it.  Many of his college buddies did the same, but not all of them.  Most all of the Indians who emigrated here prior to the 1980s were extremely talented and hard working.  I recall most all being scientists, engineers or medical docs.   It’s sad to see the Indian worker, and particularly h1b worker so vilified these days.  [/quote]

The vilification has happened due to racism and general inability of America and Americans to compete with the rest of the world, in hard STEM fields that requires intelligence and hard work.

The poor standard of K-12 education and general inability of parents to teach their kids at home means that many cannot compete in these subjects.

The vilification is due to resentment and jealously.  [/quote]

The vilification is because they are willing to pimp themselves out so cheaply and be manipulated for a visa. In the US the general term for that is a Scab (look it up- we may have a short history, but we have a long history of workers standing up against "the man"). The Indians undercut all of that. The Indian grandfather in this story, who came over in the 1950s for a lucrative deal, would be shamed by the system today.[/quote]

I’m a second generation immigrant.  I don’t hire h1b workers for many reasons.  I have hired and mentored them in past but no more.  They have poor work ethic and most are not as skilled as you might think.  As soon as they hire on, they are looking for another job or trying to do two jobs.  They are takers and carry zero loyalty.   I now only hire US college educated (citizens preferred) and yes, they can be of Indian or any other descent.  We are happy  to pay more over hiring h1bs workers.  You get what you pay for - as the saying goes.  [/quote]

+1.  Same here.  My company used to hire tons of H1Bs but the quality has really deteriorated.  We now pay more $$ to hire US trained staff.   Others not the same unfortunately, they are still hiring low cost bidders.   Indeed, you do get what you pay for.[/quote]

Wow! Please name your wonderful company who are hiring US trained staff.  Are you working for a defense contractor or a mercenery outfit?  [/quote]
