Of course this puff piece comes straight from India sources....

I or we should feel sorry for BG, the biggest monopolist in existence, ever?

A pure giveaway to the IT corporations.

"The high skills

Who just wants to get richer.

Aw, how terrible. Go back to India where they will surely get a job at a lower salary and maybe even for a longer fraction of their lifetime.

I have little problem with foreigners coming to the USA to get the best education in the world so they can go back to their homes and make life better there.

This is all part of the ITAA propaganda that avoids the reality of cheap labor for in-the-USA jobs that the employers won't even consider people already in the USA.

Funny, the trend has been to lay off US guys who are already proven workers and replace them with foreigners on H1b visas. Has the "shortage myth" been converted into a George Orwell "Animal Farm" doubletalk? Gates doesn't understand that our people don't like moving US jobs from US soil but our people don't like it that non-US people get brought in for those US jobs on US soil? He doesn't understand that logic?

Sure, any excuse to divert attention from the real reason to raise the H-1b caps, now. Long term goal? When MS hires only one percent of its applicants? What is the USA supposed to do with the other 99%? Have them work off their school debt as a Walmart shelf-loader?
