American lawmakers fear misuse of the H1B and B1 Business visas by Indians.
Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the US House of Representatives, may have emerged as the frontrunner in the Republican pack of hopefuls, but the game has hardly begun and the political circus leading to the November 2012 showdown will put on its first act in January at Iowa, which will then be followed in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and so on. To those of us in India, the name of the present Republican frontrunner may not ring a bell, for he may have hardly said anything substantial on United States-India relations in his years as a politician in Washington. For that matter, apart from an occasional anti-China statement or the more recent ramblings on the Arab Spring, Gingrich is not really known for his positions on foreign policy. But there is one area in which the frontrunner, the Grand Old Party and the Democrats are going to be weighed heavily — the issue of Immigration, an area that is of tremendous importance and concern to India, people of Indian origin in the United States and the common person in India who is aspiring to come to the United States on a work or work-related visa.Tags:
