Infosys to hire 10,000 American workers after trump targets outsourcing firms

India-based IT services firm Infosys Ltd said it plans to hire 10,000 U.S. workers in the next two years and open four technology centers in the United States, starting with a center this August in Indiana, the home state of U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.
The move comes at a time when Infosys and some of its Indian peers such as Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro Ltd have become political targets in the United States for allegedly displacing U.S. workers' jobs by flying in foreigners on temporary visas to service U.S. clients.
The IT service firms rely heavily on the H1-B visa program, which U.S. President Donald Trump told federal agencies to review.
Other Indian outsourcing firms have recruited in the United States, but Infosys is the first to give concrete hiring numbers and a timeline for its plans, following Trump's visa review.
The plans would mark a big increase in U.S. hiring by Infosys. In 2014, when Vishal Sikka became chief executive, the firm had said it would hire 2,000 people in the United States.

Last month, two industry sources told Reuters that Infosys was applying for just under 1,000 H-1B visas this year. One of the sources said that was down from about 6,500 applications in 2016 and some 9,000 in 2015.
Indian IT service firms, which typically flood the lottery system each year with thousands of applications, have been among the largest H1-B recipients annually.

Your GOP Congress's latest budget-omnibus authorizes increase of H2B from 69,000 to double 69,000. Its up to Trump administration whether to avail.
This thread is about H1-B, not H2-B.
note the end of the clipped in bit points out that the Indian contractors flood the "lottery" with applicants. We need to change the system.

They can still go frick themselves.
They gave an internship to a foreign classmate over me.
Wasn't a citizen, lower graduating standing than me, and cheated on every exam. I will never forget.

Even Indians admit that India is far more racist than the US.

Fake news. I have been told for decades that companies only used H1Bs when there were no Americans qualified to do that job. And suddenly there are 10,000 qualified citizens

This is just another, in a long string of Trump lies
