India has not issued a high-level political statement ( Modi or EAM Dr S. Jaishankar) expressing support or condemnation of the U.S. strikes or the capture of Nicolás Maduro as of now. The commies (CPI(M) & CPI) have issued statements . And that should make Trump rethink his decision. :D :D Let...

This is taking a leaf out of Modi's playbook - i.e., the surgical strike. These things do not need legislative approval, and indeed it obviously cannot be routed through legislature at all due to the secrecy/surprise aspects.

So it is a 200+ result now.

BJP contested 101 seats, with an amazing 90+% success rate as of now! This is even higher than in Maharashtra (BJP 89% success rate).

I spoke too soon on AIMIM. Now it seems they have more seats than INC. So it indeed seems that the green vote has deserted MGB.

The H1B program is operated by the goremint, not by companies. The goremint makes the rules. Again, you didn't read them and hence a useless discussion.

It's not used for cost savings. The statistics are there. You are either being disingenuous about this, or duped by hearsay/anecdotal information from disgruntled or entitled people.

Dunno how much to rely on AI, but this is what it says in response to "If employers must pay H1-B workers at least the prevailing wage, then how do the Technology firms save on costs by firing American workers and hiring H1-Bs as replacements?" If you are going to cut and paste AI informa...

KL Dubey

If the law was followed, H1-Bs cannot lead to any cost savings. Gaming the system in some way is required to get cost savings. The employer could fire experienced workers and hire H1-Bs as lower experience, who would naturally command lower wages. But then they had better really be less experienced...
