I am a H1b worker and a Indian national, I did my masters in one of the top universities in US and in the past 10 years that I have been in US, have worked at 2 of the big 5 companies. Yes for past 10 years I have been on H1b Visa, why you might ask ? because you see, Indians don't get green cards for decades (vs a Australian national or an Irish national you can get a green card in less than 3 years), so we are forced to be in H1b visa, until we get a green card.

But I agree with you, go ahead and remove the H1b visa and send all of us back home. All I then ask is that Indian government enacts laws similar to China (which I think it will, given the current Prime Minister of India) and blocks US companies from operating freely in India, so Indians get a shot at building their own Google, Facebook and Uber. Force local companies to use homegrown cloud rather than the one that Amazon and MSFT sells. After all why use services of these companies if you don't get a chance at building them. Make it a patriotic mission not to use IT from US firms and build it ourselves. To steal your words, anything less of a response than that is deeply and tragically wrong.

Remember, europeans built ships and explored the world because turks closed access land route via Constantinople. Go ahead provide us with that impetus, we will compete with US firms on a global stage.
