I can see the difference between wanting the jobs to go to new Americans (who happen to be Indian landed immigrants with a long-term intent to spend the rest of their lives in the West) and wanting the money to go to people who're going right back to India when the project is over, even if the depressing effect on salaries is equal.
I hate this argument. All immigration has a first-degree effect of lowering wages, because it increases the supply of labor.
Believe me, foreigners do not like H1Bs, its a piece of shit, and would wish for free passage or as easy as it can be. And if that happened, that would lower wages of everyone, and raise theirs. Reneging that h1b allows to hire cheaper people is reneging immigration.
You want to raise the wages of foreigners, just give them more freedom to change companies, so the parent company will not have as much leverage. But thats not the compnies fault, thats the governments fault. Its the government that suppresses wages in a very negative way.
