Cue the cries of "we'll lose all the talent" and "the whole IT industry will pick up and move to Canada".

I've never cared about the HB1 visa issue until this year it has been exposed just how serious it is, and I've seen it with my own eyes.
I'm not going to name the American consultant firm, with a very American sounding name made from Three American last names.
Our company hired this Ameircan firm, and they sent 11 consulatants, we've had remote meetings, and our company is working with them on various phases and areas of the project. They are ALL Indians, every last one of the.
While I'm certainly not prejudice or require a single race of coworkers. That is NOT the case with these HB1 Indians that come over here and get their foot in the door. They get their Visas, then go to work for the Sponsor company, then they get to work replacing every American in that company with Indians they bring in on a scale fare more insidious than the Mexican chain migration we hear about. But not the Indian chain migration. These Indians are making a POINT to rid Americans of the companies they infect.
While they make the Americans train their replacement on the way out the door. They don't have the talent nor skill to walk into a situation cold, without the previous employees to point them into the right direction.

I have walked into so many multi stack environments and have managed to figure and discover all of the end points and moving parts. They require people like me, stick around to show them. They aren't as bright as people make them out to be, and are most Racist people allowed in America. They bring their Caste system from Indian with them. And although White people are whiter than their whitest Indian. They place us below the darkest Indians in India. They despise us, when it comes to work place competition, They want us out and gone, because we can see their incompetence, that they have deceived the business units into believing they posses skills they don't posses.

They trash talk the current environment and the people that made it to the business principals. That's how they get in the door, they promise they can automate stuff where any competent developer would say, a human intervention will be required. They just make and write hack scripts and delegate the task to even flunkies that aren't on the company payroll but the Indian tech will employ them to log in every 2am and do manual upkeep and housekeeping. The owner thinks everything is automated but the minute they get rid of the Indian team. All of the manual toilet plungering stops and back log reports and unprocessed orders start revealing, the truth. They were just doing what the business until said they didn't want to put resources on.

I don't have anything against Indian people per se ,but their Corporate IT culture is Shit, and is something I have strong feelings against. They suck and are interloping fakers, coning the Business enterprise they are capable of doing what American developers can't. It's a conjob. Once the company realizes they've been had. It's too late, because their whole business now depends on a bunch of third party flunkies running scripts and processes manually that is not well documented.

ERECTION INTENSIFYING!!!

"The DHS rule will redefine the "specialty occupations" H-1B visa holders can qualify for, requiring petitioners to prove they have a college degree in the specific field they are seeking to work in. The changes will also expand compliance enforcement and mandate that workers hired through a third-party firm be granted one-year work authorizations, instead of the current three-year period."

It's dead, Jim.

FuckCCP89 says

will require U.S. companies to significantly bolster wages for any H-1B visa holder, the Daily Mail reported.

Does anyone have any details on the wage increase? I don’t see that mentioned in the CBS story.

From the link above:

After an extensive review of the Permanent Employment Certification, H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 Visa programs, the Department has determined that the existing wage methodology leads to potential abuses of these programs that in some cases undermine the wages and job opportunities of U.S. workers.

In some cases? No, all the time. That is the purpose of all those programs, to undercut US wages.

The IFR will improve the accuracy of prevailing wages paid to foreign workers by bringing them in line with the wages paid to similarly employed U.S. workers. This will ensure the Department more effectively protects the job opportunities and wages of American workers by removing the economic incentive to hire foreign workers on a permanent or temporary basis in the U.S over American workers.

Not good enough. Those visa should be given only when wages are a minimum of double the US wages for the same job. If companies are not willing to pay them that much, we don't really need those workers, do we?

I say they should pay the H1B worker the prevailing wage and then a yearly fee equal to the wage paid to provide scholarships to US citizens studying in the same field as the worker.

Also wages of all H1B holders should be public so US workers can sue when they notice Kumar is making half what he should.
