U.S. companies may soon face a serious "reverse brain drain" of highly skilled foreign nationals departing for their home countries, according to a new study of immigration statistics.
U.S. policy is creating a precarious situation by making green card applicants wait too long for permission to work in the U.S., says Vivek Wadhwa, lead author of a study by researchers from Harvard University, Duke University and New York University.

I'm so sick of these Wall Street Journal neoconservative hacks and their open borders table thumping. All these corporations who hire tech workers want to hire the cheapest labor they possibly can, and that means throwing the resumes of qualified Americans in the trash in lieu of H1-B employees who will work at half the market salary and are easily managed due to their conformist mindset.
LIES, LIES, LIES!!! DAMNED LIES!!! I've worked with these so-called "highly" qualified H1-B visa holders. These people are no more qualified than Americans with similar educational backgrounds. Besides, these H1-B visa holders should be in their home countries helping their economies instead of running to ours.
Ahem! Dollars to donuts those H1-B holders were educated in the USA. So if they know so much, then I'm sure there are at least ONE or TWO U.S. citizens who know just as much.
I think there is reason for these, they are not accidental.
Listen, this is reality. I work for a HUGE software company in Silicon Valley and I am surrounded by Indians and Chinese. I went to school for Computer Science and I was 1 of 4 Americans in my class of 30, much of them Indian, Chinese, Norwegians and Germans.
Now I have nothing against these people, they are very smart and honestly they work hard. I have interviewed fellow Americans that just aren't skilled enough or aren't willing to work 60-70 hours and travel away from family.
So my theory is that we are training overseas immigrants to take US jobs that we simply aren't interested in or don't want to work hard enough to do.
This is my experience. It is not all about the profit, but fact is some of these folks are illegal and do not pay taxes...especially Start Ups.
My neighbor worked for HP for years.
1 yr before retirement they fired him. Cut his pensions and everything else he was suppose to get. He got a nice package but not nearly what he put years of dedication for.
This man is in his 50's and has 2 kids in college expensive ones their kids are brilliant.
To add insult to injury He was forced to train his replacement who was from India and did not get anything that he was teaching. It is wrong.
It's true anyone who has had to call HP for a computer problem knows.
