Venal Vivek has been peddling the same lies for almost a decade now, and one of the ones he has been pounding is goes like this:

"If we don't give every single Indian guest worker and college student a green card now, they will return home and destroy our economy by starting companies that will compete with ours.  It is a REVERSE BRAIN DRAIN!  It must be stopped!  All these brilliant minds can't be allowed to leave!  Yadayadayada... "

Return to their home countries?  Uh, not so much, according to the Wall Street Journal.  It turns out that most don't want to go back to that SHITHOLE SUBCONTINENT:

"Most foreigners who came to the U.S. to earn doctorate degrees in science and engineering stayed on after graduation—at least until the recession began—refuting predictions that post-9/11 restrictions on immigrants or expanding opportunities in China and India would send more of them home."

So now the Punjabi Professor has to change his thesis to match the data, and says, no, 2009 was the year all the best and the brightest pack their shower shoes and go home:

"I have no doubt that the 2009 data will show a dramatic shift," said Vivek Wadwha, executive in residence at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering, who has been warning loudly about the threat that trend would pose to innovation in the U.S. In October 2008, Mr. Wadwha and others used Facebook to question 1,224 foreigners studying at U.S. institutions at all levels. More than half the Indians and 40% of the Chinese said they hoped to return home within five years."

Facebook?  WTF?  This is called an accurate sampling?  This freak has been peddling hole-ridden studies ever since he got sued by his former employers at the company he allegedly founded, and this is just another in a long line of shit research designed to help U.S. companies continue their ethnic cleansing of Americans.

But it is odd that the Wall Street Journal, who trots out a pro-H-1B editorial almost weekly, is the one to usually refute such shoddy research.  Last year, it was Stuart Anderson, who was peddling the lie that each guest worker creates five jobs.  He was taken to task by the Numbers Guy, and hasn't been heard from since.

Hey good to see u back rat .. Japan and T.O eh ? What a shame that u cannot host in your own country !!

Anyways how's the fight goin on ..with the best and brightest from India ..?

Am working with a newbie from India (best and brightest..?)

Some questions the guy asks me :-

How do I dial an outside line ..? (Guess he meant how to use a telephone !)

Gets a map to work to figure out where he is and how he can commute quicker!

Cuuld'nt log into a database - had to show him how - claimed he was a DBA with 20 years experience .. last worked for Oracle of all places it seems !!

Can go on and on... cant figure out how this guy can be in the best and brightest category !!

If you want I'll gladly send him over to the US to make your country "Great" !!

Of course Steward Anderson who said that each H1-B creates five jobs hasn't been heard from again.  After all, he contradicted Lord Gates, who testified before Congress that each H1-b creates ELEVEN jobs.  Royalty cannot tolerate that kind of sedition.

Vivek Wadwha nuggets

1) His last startup, Relativity Technologies, received more than $24 million in venture capital. The husk of the company was recently sold in 2009 for $9.7 million to Micro Focus International.


2) Wadwha wrote an article for TechCrunch.com Dec 5, 2009.  In his own words:
"I know we’re not always bringing in the best and brightest. Most are just average techies. I can offer myself up as an example. When I came to this country in 1980 from Australia, I was just a low-level computer programmer. Yes, I took pride in being able to write the slickest Assembler code (anyone remember what this is?). But I was pretty average in my education and skills. I had no PhD. I had no patents."

So, most H1Bs are not the best and brightest; they're average techies who can turn $24 million into $9.7 million.
No wonder Tunnel Rat calls him "Fraudwa".

Long live Tunnel Rat!
