Visa curbs on Indians will also hurt US: Sushma

 
enews-enews-d6bc67b99912e4c4b743b9fca8dbNew Delhi, March 30 : External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said if the US puts restrictions on H1B visas, immigration or business outsourcing, it will not just hurt Indians but will be bad for the US too.

"We are not just talking with the US authorities (on H-1B visas and related issues), we are talking with logic and concrete statistics," Swaraj told the Rajya Sabha during the Question Hour.

"This is a mutually beneficial partnership, and we have told them (the US) that if you snap these ties, it will not hurt us alone, it will also hurt you," she said.

She said that the Indian information technology (IT) companies operating in the US are generating jobs there and contributing to the US exchequer.

"We have told them that it is not true that Indians are stealing their jobs. On the contrary, Indian companies in US are generating employment for the Americans. So far, Indian companies have given direct employment to 1.56 lakh Americans and supportive jobs to 4.11 lakh," she said.

She added that between 2011 and 2015, the Indian companies have made an investment of $2 billion, paid taxes worth $20 billion and Indian workers have contributed $7 billion to the social security scheme.

Besides, she added, the American companies in India are earning $27.5 billion annually.

The Minister informed the House that the Foreign Secretary and the Commerce Secretary visited the US between February 28 and March 3 this year and held meetings with cabinet ministers and senior functionaries of the new US administration as well as with the Congressional leadership.

"We have emphasized that Indian skilled professionals have contributed to the growth and development of the US economy and have helped the US retain its competitive edge and innovation advantage," she said.

Swaraj said that the Trump administration has so far not announced any comprehensive policy changes impacting non-immigrant work visa programmes.

"There are 13 bills for consideration before the US Congress. Four of them are about H1B visas, six bills pertain to outsourcing business to India and three bills are about immigration. But none of them has been passed so far.

"The government of India is closely monitoring the developments that may have a bearing upon the movement of Indian workers and professionals to the US. We remain in active dialogue with the US administration and the US Congress at senior levels to safeguard the interests of Indian workers and professionals," she said

+1 Agreed.

Rather than begging other countries, Indian govt should focus on getting back business NRI business intellectuals and  scientists from all over the world by providing incentives and sustainable working conditions in India.
