US bailouts to get H-1B rider?
6 Feb, 2009, 1306 hrs IST,PTI

WASHINGTON: In what could be worrying for Indian software professionals, two US Senators have introduced amendments to the economic stimulus bil

l, which if passed would prevent US companies receiving the federal bailout money, from hiring H-1B visa holders.

The amendment if approved by the Senate would have an immediate impact on Indian software professionals, as it is they who are the major beneficiary of the H-1B visa programme.

An amendment in this regard has been co-sponsored by the Republican Senator from Iowa, Chuck Grassley and the Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

Introducing the amendment on the floor of the Senate, Senator Sanders said, "It is essentially saying that there would be a suspension of H-1B programme of any institution, which would be receiving TARP (Troubled Assets Relief Programme) funds for just one year."

Seeking bi-partisan support to his amendment, Sanders said, "I firmly believe that companies going through layoffs that employ H-1B visas (holding workers) have a moral obligation to protect American workers by putting them first during these difficult times."

Sanders also quoted a recent media report that said that the American banking industry had requested for more than 21,000 visas for foreign guest workers over the last six years.

"Hiring American workers for limited available jobs should be a top priority for businesses taking taxpayer money through the TARP programmer," Senator Grassley said, adding if banks are going to be getting American taxpayer money than they should be hiring American workers.
