Feels like "more jobs Americans won't do." Except that now it's "We can't find anyone qualified, but this H1B is perfect..."

> Shares in Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's biggest private sector employer, plunged more than 5% on Mumbai's stock exchange, while other top firms like Infosys (INFY) and Wipro (WIT) fell by more than 4%.

For my personal reaction to this news, I keep thinking of Willy Wonka (played by Gene Wilder) delivering deadpan and insincere protestations like: "Oh no. Stop. Don't."
