Indians have a stigma for a very good reason: the 5% top engineers are drowned out by the 95% posers used by body shops (Infy, TCS, etc.) that have literally taken over numerous industries in the US tech market.

I worked in India for one of these BPO companies and know what I'm talking about. If the good engineers from India want to reclaim their status, they need to push back against the flood of H1Bs from these companies.

But instead, the majority of HN (or at least the guys who do more hiring, less coding) keeps pushing for more and more visas when we should be urging Congress to reform the system to allow the talent to come in (with Green Card), while disallowing US companies from using it to lower wages for all US engineers.
