Infosys will actually hire Americans for jobs in their own country....if they have to
One has to do a double take on this headline. Infosys Is Ready to Boost Staff in Case of ‘Hire American’ Law.
Infosys Technologies Ltd., India’s second-largest provider of software services, plans to boost hiring in the U.S. if a proposal to restrict the country’s work visas becomes law, said B. G. Srinivas, a company executive.
The recruitment would be in addition to existing projects, Srinivas said yesterday in an interview from London, where the senior vice president heads the company’s operations in Europe and manufacturing-services unit worldwide. Bangalore-based Infosys has budgeted 1,000 new U.S. employees by the end of 2010.
What they are referring to is the Grassley-Durbin bill, S. 887; A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to reform and reduce fraud and abuse in certain visa programs for aliens working temporarily
This is even more evidence that S. 887 must pass...intact!
Only if strong>forced will these companies hire Americans for jobs in their own country?
What's wrong with this picture?
BTW: Just from one of these Indian body shops, this represents 1,000 jobs by 2010.
U.S. Technical Professionals need this bill! Careers are dependent on Congress acting.
Why
Why? This is our own country? We should send this Anti-American company packing home.
These companies treat us as second class citizens in our own country. They get the benefits of our infrastructure and hospitable people. Companies like them don't have the decency to be a good corporate citizen by hiring locals.
