I don't believe this (H-1B Visa issue, not the article) is about discrimination based on birthplace. Personally, I have absolutely no problems with bringing in workers into this country. After all, that is one of the founding principles behind this country. My issue is... those that do it for the sole purpose of saving money. In other words, companies that cut "american employees" for H-1B visa holders because they'll be spending a fraction of the salary in the long term. Since I am an Indian, I also happen to know that those that come here are willing to take anything (unfair treatment) to immigrate here.

To sum up, 1) If US companies want to import employees, pay them US market rate for their skill-level and what their responsibilities are. 2) Those that exploit the H-1B visa sponsorship should not be given this leverage over their new employees simply because they were able to work in the US because they were sponsored.
