Consider the unemployment rate and the recession during 2008. An Indian newspaper is reporting Indians were issued 5.7 lakh non-immigrant Visas in 2008. A Lakh is 100,000.

According to data available, about 5.7 lakh Indians were issued H1-B and other non-immigrant visas for 2008.

Every American should be outraged at this. That's over half a million jobs that should be going to U.S. workers. Half a million!

A NIV is a guest worker Visa. Categories include H-1B, H-2B, L-1 and so on.
