In fact, nearly ALL H-1Bs are incompetent. Average IQ in India is 81. Average American IQ is 98. I worked in software for 16 years including at Apple and Sony before being run out of CA by MILLIONS of these faking frauds. Anyone can buy a PhD for $300 in Punjab (google it). IIT is ranked 350th among world universities. IIT cannot even get accreditation. I've worked with these people and they had to question me constantly "What is byte swapping"? "Why does it crash on your machine but not mine?" These people are idiots. Even after you show them how to do something they can't produce anything that works or can be sold. We have imported MILLIONS of these people since 1998 and they have destroyed our companies. H-1B has nothing to do with "talent", what it REALLY is is an international socialist JOB TRAINING PROGRAM - so that the tech and skills Americans created can be transferred to the lazy countries in the name of "economic development". BTW, the OECD did a study of students the world over last month and students in India ranked SECOND FROM LAST in the world in math & sci.— March 24, 2012 10:43 a.m.

Jim Crow? IT in Silicon Valley is 90% foreign workers. Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Vietnamese, you name it. The under-represented group is whites, if anyone. Maybe we should mention that there are too many blacks in the NBA and too many Japanese people making cars.— March 24, 2012 10:37 a.m.

28 million US jobs have been lost since we began importing these people. In 1998 when Americans ran the economy is was BOOMING. So much for the "best and brightest".— March 24, 2012 10:34 a.m.

For years and years Don Tenant argued loud and clear with American techies that there were no abuses of the visa programs, Americans were crybabies, blah blah blah. Only after the criminal InfoSys case surfaced did he change his tune. Corporate America likewise has been in denial about this. Now that CRIMINAL charges have been filed against a major Indian bodyshop EVERYONE in corporate America and India Inc. is freaking out because THEY ALL HAVE DIRT ON THEIR HANDS. These crimes against US citizens have been so pervasive, so entrenched, so commonplace in corporate America that there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people who are guilty of criminal fraud in abusing the visa programs and they KNOW IT. These corporate worms and the India Inc. hucksters are guilty as sin and now they are all terrified they are going to be found out. Indeed some of the perps in the InfoSys case have already fled the US back into deep recesses of India where they can never be found or prosecuted. If Corporate America is hiring Americans it is only because the execs are all scared to death now they will be found out and sent to prison for their actions. These crimes have been RAMPANT for 14 years and just now coming to the surface.— March 24, 2012 10:28 a.m.

Let's talk about HCL and its brilliant "CEO" for a moment. Boeing's Dreamliner 787 project was delayed several times costing Boeing tens of millions of $ in delivery penalties. Want to know one of the biggest reasons? Turns out HCL was BANNED from ever working on the project again. Why? Because when the FAA inspected the electircal system software HCL had written it was deemed so bad as to be unsafe. The entire thing has to be thrown out and re-written. How's that for the brilliant best and brightest from abroad. It is India's incompetent, faking workers who are unemployable, not America's. Americans invented IT long before bleached-out Vineet Nayar ever set foot on American soil. The Indian IT song and dance has run its course. People are onto this fraud big time now.— March 24, 2012 10:19 a.m.
