#1 But with Washington crimping visas..

1HB visas started out as a means to fill very small unique niches in skills with around 10,000 allotted a year. Business bought your Congresscritters and jacked it up to 200,000 a year, killing any incentive for 'natives' to learn and acquire the skill sets for decades and making the foreigners subject to constant threats to their stay in country. Long time past for that program to end.

#2 SO, major US money grubbing corporations with an outdated business model outsource everything but the waste basket under the over paid CEO's desk to India, who then outsources the same work to the US.

What may appear wrong with that picture makes very good sense. The US corporations are subject to all of the politically correct, nanny state, crazy crap regulations passed by the Democrats over the last ten years, while the India's do not...that is too ironic for words.

I do have one solution for our unemployment rate...repeal of the crazy crap regulations passed over the last eight years and repeal Obamacare. Companies will not hire anyone until they know that Obamacare is gone, dead and buried. Everyone said it was an economy killer when it was started and the Dems ignored it.

#4 IIUC, India has RUN OUT of trained workers. So it makes sense for them to look for additional trained labor where it's available.

#5 Last I've heard was that India was now outsoursing it's work to places like the Philippines, China, Malasia, etc... because the standard of living in India as grown so much over the years.
