Indian IT companies continue to take advantage of H1B visa loophole
Indian IT companies continue to take advantage of H1B visa loophole - stop the human trafficking – ban H1B without extensive labor certification

H1B visa allows Indian body shoppers (so called IT companies!) to transfer human beings as cyber slaves. The debate is furious in Washington. Miscrosoft wants cheap Indian talent. Other American companies want the virtual slaves from India so that can circumvent labor laws in United States. Indian companies like to make the differentials on hourly trade per human bei9ng – nothing different from African slave dealers sending slaves to American cotton plantations three hundred years ago.

American politicians should stop this morally incomprehensible business of human trafficking. The Indian and American companies transport cyber slaves through two kinds of visa mechanisms. First, they use H1B. This is a temporary work visa The high tech worker is normally paid 40% less than his or her American counterpart. Unlike labor certification requirement for green card, no one really checks if there is a willing and able American available for the job.

The second way is to use L1 visa. The Indian companies send these cyber slaves as managers of internat6ional companies. In reality these are software technicians – never perform any managerial work. L1 visa is designed for temporary extended stay of foreign nationals for international corporations.

American lawmakers that support H1B are bought by lobbyists working for American companies and Indian body shoppers. The money floating in Washington to bribe the American lawmakers are in billions. Corporations will do anything to have slave labors from India, China, Philippines and other countries.
