RE: Bill in US Congress to abolish H1-B Visas
IANS[ SATURDAY, JULY 12, 2003 02:01:37 PM ]
WASHINGTON: A quiet move is afoot in the US Congress to do away with the H1-B visa category that has benefited countries like India, particularly its software exports and IT professionals.
A Republican Congressman from Colorado, Tom Tancredo, has introduced a 15-line bill proposing to eliminate all visas under the H1-B category, created in 1952 to provide the US economy with technically skilled foreign workers.
The bill comes at a time of slump in the US economy and unemployment, resulting in an outcry against H1-B visas and tech jobs being shipped abroad, particularly to India, via outsourcing.

what can we do to stop this bill from becoming law?????
