Sadly if thats the nly option, Indians will do that to stay. So dont come back whining that they have taken that jobs also.
Better to have people who are here legally doing those jobs than to have illegals doing them. In fact, in some of those plants refugees are doing the work.

You really mean that it is hard to fill positions at the low wages that foreign help will accept than what you would otherwise pay to an equally qualified American.
No, that is not what I mean at all. I probably would have typed that, if I meant it.

You get what you pay for. Anyone who has ever spoken with great frustration and limited success to off shore tech support with a hard to understand foreign accent can attest to that. The home grown talent is here, you just won’t use it.
Tech support is a junior position, right? So let me just restate:
Quote:
The thing is, there are no on-shore junior positions to groom fresh graduates to eventually take on those well-paying, important jobs. You have to crawl before you can walk, and the crawling is all handled overseas.
Lack of people to fill on-shore intermediate and senior position is a direct consequence of the decision to off-shore the junior positions.
So - if we dropped job-related immigration tomorrow, a few hundred thousand US persons with requisite experience would pop up? From where?
It's a structural problem now.
I think you're being overly dramatic with that number.
Yes, there are thousands of unemployed and underemployed American citizen IT workers. There would be no problem filling the void.
The H1-B visa program has become riddled with corruption and fraud. For example, it was never meant to be used to lay off American citizens and replace them with H1-Bs.
I'm sure you know all this. If not, do some googling.
