H1B Visa News: Donald Trump’s H1B visa rules will harm both India and America. According to Mahesh Sachdev, Indian IT sector and innovation will be affected by this.

Former diplomat Mahesh Sachdev told IANS, “The new order issued by US President Donald Trump regarding H1B visa will have a direct impact on India, because H1B visas are used by most Indian citizens. Last year, India’s participation in H1B visa holders was 71 percent, in which most of the IT sector workers were. It is said that these people replace their citizens in America. This is the reason why they have decided to impose an additional fee for H1B visas.
He explained that the US is engaged in such a competition with China, where it needs a lot of innovation. In such a situation, if the US bans people coming from outside, then innovation will be damaged and America may lag behind in its competition with China. America has always taken an edge because it allows foreign qualified persons to come here and allow to work. For example, all the startups that are open in Silicon Valley, more than half of the people of Indian origin.
