While Indian IT employees and companies have been nervously biting their nails after the presentation of the H-1B Visa bill, there’s one individual who is confident that at least an executive order to this effect, won’t come. And that individual is Chicago-based Shalabh Kumar, the head of the Republican Hindu Coalition and a prominent supporter as well as donator to President Trump’s electoral campaign.
On being questioned about the status of the H-1B visa bill being proposed in the States, he contradicted all media reports saying no such order is being drafted by the current administration. He said that the White House doesn’t have any reforms for H-1B planned as of now.
This is a huge win for Microsoft, Apple Google, cisco systems, Amazon, Java, Nortons, even for tech University like MIT, caltech and Stanford. What this says is that Trump supports the right of big business as usual and does not care about the American worker. The kicker is that tech companies have to pay more to hire an American as well as train Americans for work they are unqualified to perform causing tech companies to loose billions in revenue.

Yes, only tech companies use h1b visas. No other industry does.
Trump is more interesting in tickling the ears of his supporters than resolving real problems, like taking down Vipro, InforSys etc H1B abusers.
Zoe Lofgren (D) has introduced a bill in Congress which would mandate a $130K minimum salary for H1B workers, and I think that would work, because it plays the low-balling out of the picture. Who wouls pay a junior programmer $130K? At the same time it keeps the door open for companies to hire top pros to solve their problems.

With each passing day, it appears more and more that Trump is not going to do much of anything he promised other than hound Muslims.
