Indian Education: Actually Terrible !!! 1771

depends on whether one can find text of the H1B legislation in the link provided by you. If I had to presume that one can see text of legislation pbutted by US govt to be part of the statute-consbreastution, then my examples stated below do suffice. Here is some legal info from your own govt:-

-H1Bs stay in the US is conditional to being employed -H1Bs are required to leave the country within 24 hours of being terminated by employer. If a transfer of visa has been applied for and is pending, the visa holder need not leave the country. -Green card is provided in lieu of H1b holder providing services that satisfactorily contribute to the employer and consequently national interest. -Employer can pebreastion the INS to deport an H1B if he is annoyed for any reason. Employer holds veto over stay of the H1B visa holder. I know of one individual whose employer had him deported and his ability to apply for a H1B visa cancelled for 5 yrs. In general,office bearers of the US govt may exercise their discretion to (dis)allow non-resident individuals entry to the US or terminate stay -without providing valid reasons.

It is akin to slavery for all practical purposes. Ask any H1B who hasn't read this, and s-he will attest to H1B being slavery in disguise. Even if I am using hyperboles -not every one will -so if every H1B attests to it being slavery, then it cannot be an exagerration. The US govt has created legislation from the ground up to take away civic rights of an individual enjoyed in his native country -and that compels one to go through it -all the more so, after having landed in the US. Till a person lands in the US, he can decide to work or not to work on an H1B visa. On taking a job, buying immovable property etc. -one is tied to the US economy and cannot break free from H1B unless the employer grants him liberation via the green card. Even many of your highly educated professors in universities practice slavery. They have gotten legislation enacted specifically barring students from working outside the campus -coz campus jobs pay less than min wage or something close to it, but less than outside. They get grants to get work done on research projects -so they are in some sense of the word, employers. They provide a degree in return for getting the work done -and those restricted rights ensure that the foreign student does a good job for wages unacceptable to citizens + a degree cert.

Its not the same as being in one's own country -for sure. You can use any nomenclature you like -and the modus operandi can change over time depnding on sensitivies and PR constraints- from using whips as 300 yrs back, to legislation suggesting deportation as the H1b does, to suggesting that if one doesn't submit to slavery in totality - he is a threat to national security.

that tying of status to the employer's whims - is the modus operandi employed to perpetuate slavery.

ask any illegal -if he has any rights guaranteed to him or is sure he cannot be picked up and deported any time the govt decides so? The law makes it clear that a person illegally present has no legal rights whatsoever.

it does have a lot to do with large corporations. To bribe politicians, who will direct law enforcement to work in one's business interests -one needs to have deep pockets. Smaller businesses have lesser say in the functioning of governments. But some small time farmers or business owners do employ illegals and they probably work at the local level with law enforcement to remind illegals of their status. I can even recollect a case of Indian programmers being picked up from an air force base in Texas, and they were later released (presumably the politician involved got his due share later on) and the INS officer in charge used govt letterhead to tell the concerned workers, he is letting them go (and continue to work) -but they could be charged at any pt of time. The question that cannot be answered by anyone is -if the intent in arresting them was because they were illegally present -why allow them to work? Why not make it conditional to release them if they agree to stop working and go back to India? The answer is that if they go back, the benefits of slavery will stop accruing to the concerned individuals.

yeah -this is the modus operandi employed to perpetuate slavery for illegals. As to statement that the govt is finding it difficult to locate them, thats just a lame excuse. United States is so expensive, you can find illegals slogging it out on factory floors just to make ends meet. If the govt raided large businesses, they would be able to round up 90% illegals in a single day. The reason they wouldn't raid the businesses is because those illegals contribute to the economy and the reason why they wouldn't free them and give them equal rights is because they want the benefits of slavery to continue.

In addition to being unaware, they are so freaking arrogant -they don't even realize that Im actually trying to educate them for their own good.
