Indian engineers could be hurt in more ways than one by US president-elect Donald Trump's promise to bring back jobs for Americans. From the early days of his campaign, Trump's anti-immigrant stance has included plans to cut down on work visas, known as H-1B, that allow skilled foreign workers to work full-time in the US for at least six years. In March, the real estate mogul said, if elected, he would "end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labour program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program." His attorney general pick, Senator Jeff Sessions, has long advocated clipping the program. If H-1B visa allocations are limited under a Trump presidency, it would be bad news for Indians who have been the recipients of the highest number (pdf) of such visas all these years.
