There is an even more important information contained in this link and it is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indians who graduate from US schools in June this year will also be in limbo because even their special quota of 20,000 (in addition to the 65,000) is expected to be exhausted by then. ‘‘Many members of the class of 2007 effectively received deportation orders and lost their post-graduation jobs last week,’’ the student newspaper ‘Harvard Crimson’ noted in an editorial.
There is much heartburn in the US high tech industry over the H1-B issue. Companies such as Microsoft and Intel say the limited quota is putting a crimp on attracting worldwide talent need to keep the industry moving forward. But American worker groups say its not the Microsofts and Intels that are making best use of the H1-Bs, but Indian companies which send temporary workers for on site evaluation of projects which are eventually moved back to India for low-cost fixes.

If more and more Desi Graduates from US schools will be forced out the number of future students to US will drop and the net gainers will be Australia, Canada and UK. Hope the US government does not perform one more foolish act before it runs out of office.

Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....
"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"
Sankar..... 'Hope the US government does not perform one more foolish act before it runs out of office.'
If the US Govt runs out of office, who will govern the US? Canada? LOL
