Outsourcers Abusing Work Visas?

March 10, 2008
The clash between U.S.-based companies and outsourcers continues as outsourcing companies such as Infosys Technologies, Wipro, Cognizant Technology Solutions and UST Global who are either based in or have the majority of their workers in India are bringing thousands of H-1B workers in the U.S. to train them and then relocate them back to other countries.

Many claim these companies are abusing the system as these visas should be used primarily to get the best and brightest workers to come and work in the United States.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out but as I have mentioned in the past, the H-1B program should be expanded to hundreds of thousands more workers in order to help U.S. businesses looking for tech talent the fuel they need to grow.
