Whoa, talk about adding insult to injury! India is demanding that the H1-B visa cap be raised to 195K. Now I can understand jobs going overseas because of cheaper labor there, even if I don’t like it personally. But for another nation to demand that we allow more of their workers to come here and take jobs that there are plenty of Americans willing and able to do is just insulting. India is doing pretty well in the current outsourcing climate, IBM is about to add 14K jobs in India (while cutting 13K in Europe and the US), so to demand more is really to overplay their hand and invite a backlash. Maybe they aren’t getting enough online poker spam to understand how to play the game.
