Nowrasteh said: "Many foreign technology companies —
including Indian giants Wipro, Infosys Technologies, and Tata
— outsource thousands of technology workers to the US. They
will bear the brunt of these new fees, which will discourage
investment in the US and could lead to further protectionist
measures worldwide".
"Highly skilled foreign workers were also a boon to
public finances. Non-immigrant Indian H1B workers contribute
over USD 1 billion a year in Social Security payments that
they don't receive back in benefits," he said.
He argued that instead of raising fees and expanding
regulatory costs, lawmakers should do away with workplace
inspections, fees, quotas, and other restrictions.
"The economic case for the free movement of labour is
as compelling as that for goods and services. In a faltering
economy, it is more important than ever," he argued. PTI LKJ
