The US will do fine without cheap labor from Infosys and others. These people aren't top developers


Could you please not post unsupported generalizations that put other people down? Assuming you're right doesn't make this a substantive HN comment, or a good one, and the last thing we need is more flamebait on inflammatory topics.


This was in response to a post worrying about the people who are impacted by this rule going to other countries and the US therefore missing out. It's pretty well known that a significant part of H-1 visas are used by companies like Infosys to get in cheap developers. If these people are not able to get a 90k offer in the US they are probably not worth much which matches my personal observation.

There are plenty of very good people who can't get an H-1 because the quota is used for cheap people. I came here on an H-1 myself and it was quite difficult because the quota got used by bodyshops. My life would have been easier if they had set a minimum salary.

Personal attacks will get you banned here. Just because someone else posts a bad comment doesn't mean it's ok for you to post a bad one, let alone one like this, which is the sort of thing we ban people for. Please don't do this again.


That’s the right attitude to have.

Your argument would hold more weight if you actually gave a counterpoint instead of attacking someone you don’t even know.
