Oracle and Non-Green Card Indians

Oracle Corporation, currently hires enourmous amounts of Indians, who do not even have a green card, but have come to the U.S. under some ridiculous law that permits it on the basis that they have critical skills (Computer Science) that cannot be met by Americans. You will find them, not only programming or what have you, but also manning the technical support lines in large numbers. Seems odd to put recent immigrants on a phone support line, but Oracle knows that a desperate immigrant fleeing his impoverished country, will work for less, and they will save a few pennies. Sadly, there is such a surplus of Americans looking for Computer Science type jobs, that a 2 or 3 line classified ad looking for a programmer or network person etc., will draw 200 resumes in a week, and a large amount of those being from Computer Science graduates who have been unable to land their first job. Is is morally right to allow Oracle to save a few bucks while Americans with Computer Science degrees are unemployed. Would the average American Computer Science graduate really be unable to man Oracle's tech support phones? Would they be worse at it? Are the Indians racially superior? I ask you Oracle advocates of the world. Received on Thu Nov 10 1994 - 10:45:52 CET
