Cisco employees have been donating Clinton's Senate committee since Bill's era as the president. That's why they support Indian Techies coming in here. Bill Clinton has invested tens of thousands of dollars in an Indian
bill payment company, while Hillary Clinton has taken tens of thousands
from companies that outsource jobs to India. That's why they have soft corners for the Indian H1b holders.
As far as I know, Obama did not mean to say that curtailing the number of skilled foreign workers coming over to US right away is the right solution but he is concerned about the large number of them coming to US (of which not all are as skilled as skilled American workers) at the expense of American workers. And I don't see much problem with that. His dad himself was an immigrant and he understands our plight and that's why his support for the comprehensive immigration plan. I think he played the outsourcing card mainly to disrupt the cruising campaigning of Clinton (and that too almost a year ago). I am not too sure about his recent take on outsourcing, if it has changed.
