The new legislation on H-1B and L1 visa program will make it tough for Indians to gain work permit in the US. The H-1B visa under which Indian professionals are recruited in the US will suffer a set back if the legislation brought to the floor by Senators Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin is passed by the Congress.
According to the bill that was introduced in the US Senate on Thursday, employers in the US who are willing to hire workers from other countries should make a ‘good faith attempt’ to recruit American workers.
Senator Durbin stated, “Our bill will put a stop to the outsourcing of American jobs and discrimination against American workers. The H-1B visa program should complement the US workforce, not replace it,” he claimed. He further added that the Department of Labor will be given power to scrutinize, audit and penalize abuse of H-1B and L1 visa employers.

This bill is good. It will help to get rid of fraud.
Who would have a problem with getting rid of fraud?
