Indian outsourcers dominate the H-1B visa scheme and pay relatively low wages
By THE DATA TEAM
ON APRIL 18th Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order that will tighten the screws on legal immigration. During his presidential campaign, he vowed to end the H-1B visa programme, which grants 85,000 skilled foreigners a year the right to live and work in the United States, and opens up a path to citizenship. He says such migrants undercut wages for the native-born. Although the new policy will not scrap H-1Bs entirely, it will allocate them on merit rather than by the current lottery system.
