Give me an immigration category that doesn't have fraud and abuse ? As long as the applicants are humans, these kind of things will always happen. That is why government agencies including USCIS has enforcement wing. The only thing I don't understand is why some members of this forum are so happy going against India and Indians ? Despite what immigration legislation is being passed, outsourcing will never stop. Outsourcer's don't need visa. Outsourcing is trade issue not an immigration issue. Anti-immigrants and anti-immigrant lawmakers use outsourcing and joblessness to promote their anti-immigrant agenda. Ill informed among us think they are fighting for american's justice.Originally Posted by abcx13
Oh come on.How come it only mentions Indians? If it's a loophole in the program why isn't everyone abusing it? Why is that Indian IT outsourcers take a disproportionate share of the visas?
(Rhetorical question. No need to answer.)
If outsourcing is the issue they are fighting, why didn't they ban outsourcing explicitly ?
One the same note, give me a country whose people don't commit fraud, lie etc. This country which you may be thinking is perfect has fraud, lies and abuse from the lower end to president's office ( Bill Clinton on sex-scandal, George Bush on Iraq war).
Be proud to be an Indian ! ( No country is perfect in the world, neither is India )

Frankly speaking, no one expects and should not even expect the CIR to be a smooth ride. We all know that it was going to be bumpy right from the word go. Having said that, the bill may still pass or fail, but for some unknown reason I am overtly optimistic about CIR this time. Hope, it comes to be true. Have a good weekend everyone.
This article also points to the similar events. Seems like, right now it is stuck between labor and business and that they are going to sort this out during the recess.

This one points to more exact details on where the negotiations have stalled.

It is amusing to have these Senators referred to as "gang members"!!

Sessions is logically correct in saying that vote does not reflect good on immigration negotiations. This is an important topic which should be part of the immigration bill.

It is good to see the President involved but how he can influence/hasten the process is unclear as the following section of the article suggests-
"Obama’s time frame may be tough for senators to reach. U.S. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the judiciary committee, already has cast doubt on the chances of getting a bill through his committee by the end of April. Even if the bill comes to the floor next month a vote would not necessarily follow quickly. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has said he plans to let senators debate the legislation at length, and there remains no clear path for the bill through the Republican-led House.
He has good relation with labor. Now is the good time to offer help and move negotiations forward.

AFL-CIO in action...
It seems all the more important now that Obama come to help in this issue and help democrats take the direction whether they should abide by what union wants.
If you see the video, I think he's just managing expectations of the Hispanic/Latino community who are likely expecting a speedier path to citizenship. It's up to the President now to resolve the AFL-CIO issue I think. Considering he's made CIR such a big part of his second term, I don't think he can just back off at this point and blame it on big business or the unions.
Here's Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot's explanation of what's going on behind the scenes in the Senate Gang of Eight negotiations on how to structure a new worker visa program for less-skilled immigrants.
