Everyone I've met age 35 and under in IT from India for the last several years has been from Hyderabad (or at least from Telangana or Andhra Pradesh). It's not just "India" taking over IT, it's the Telugu Mafia taking over IT.
Student Visa for MS, Dependent visa as Spouse of Student, change of status to H1B visa from OPT thru Consultancy are the big sources of IT professionals coming to USA. Many people do not come directly on H1B visa and projects from India, it is more stringent that way.
If US administration is looking at controlling the number of immigrants from India, they will need to block those routes also.

Keep blocking and there won't be any jobs left for people here

We should stop all work-based immigration for now. There are too many loopholes and way too much fraud, and between the Chinese and the Indians they've figured out every way to game our system and cheat the government.

IMHO there's a good case for a moratorium like this, esp. with a broad history of abuse, damage to the US workforce and even security risks. There truly is no "shortage" of STEM trained American workers, that's an industry manufactured myth out of Silicon Valley to try to bring in cheap labor and under-cut US wages. Age discrimination is rampant in the industry as is discrimination against US recent grads, and by closing the work visa abuse as you're suggesting, and stopping the OPT abuse as munna is suggesting, we'll compel US companies to make better use of the domestic work force, and pay sufficient wages for the STEM skills. It won't cause inflation as some of them claim, given the already outrageous salaries for tech execs who often don't even do much. Rather it'll be a critical boost for the USA's long term tech industry prospects.

Myth
If you compell IS companies, they would hire more domestic workers.
Fact
If you compell US companies, they would just move to a more favorable country.

Many have been imported from Hyderbad, and also many US jobs have been exported from US to Hyderbad. Convergys employs some 15 000 people there and pays them about $300 per month for Customer Support jobs. This is why many customer supports people have Indian accents. And no, these jobs are not coming back.
They also have lot of IT jobs there, which have been outsourced from US. I worked for an IT company in Florida and while I was there (over a period of 10 years), they laid off 95% of the US workforce, and replaced them with ones in Hyderbad. Heck, we had to train the Indians to take over our own jobs.

*ding ding* Winner. Make it hard and inconvenient, people and companies will take the path of least resistance. Heck they don't even have to stay in India. Canada welcomes talented immigrants, and has full access to the US market.
