Ron Hira, the Indian born professor at Rochester Institute of Technology has come up with numbers that may pose this question. Indian outsourcers file the most applications for temporary H-1B visas. Are they using them to train staff for jobs abroad? Everyone knows that India is becoming the IT hub of the world. So is it any wonder that Indian companies use the most H1 visas? I wonder what he's trying to convey. That's when I did some research to find Ron Hira's history. (Note: Ron is not an Indian name, he probably changed it to Ron to make him appear more American, what a faker!)Back in April 2005, he came out with a book, Outsourcing America: What’s Behind Our National Crisis and How We Can Reclaim American Jobs. So that's what it is, he's a book salesman. He will continue to twist numbers to suit his views in the book. He make these ridiculous claims without any credibility in economics.
I am on H1, and I am not training to be doing any work overseas. My hard work over that last few years have made this company grow more than 100%. And thank the press for publishing any story they can get on this topic without doing a background check on the person. I know three companies including mine who are trying to hire Americans for a senior developer position and can't get any good candidates. Two out of the five candidates we got for interviews were Asian Americans. This trend seems to be growing as we see the economy posting record growth.
NEWS FLASH FOR ALL H1B HATERS: We're out of the 2002 recession, so all H1 haters, wake up and go get a real job. There are so many out there. You may be my next colleague.

This dude seems to be quoted a lot in all the media. I wonder why he seems to be hell bend on being the expert here, especially being of Indian origin. I guess it is a typical example of the "crab mentality" and of course he sells more books! Did he not take a US job too when he got his tenure at the RIT?
