Plan to hike H-1B cap to 300,000 seen dead; 130,000 cap still possible

8. I work in a field that has a lot of imported talent from India.

I find it depressing to see these guys/gals with advanced engineering degrees making $15/hr and basically stuck in a company like an indentured servant because of the whole thing. After talking to many of them, I get that it's often times better for most people to live like that in the US (or wherever) than to stay in India where they have to compete with a billion people, but still. I also don't get why some people blame the workers themselves for this. Most of us would do the exact same thing if the roles were switched. It's the companies (like you said) who are to blame for this.
