India Caucus Junket to Mumbai

Date: Sunday, April 20, 2003 1:25 PM

H-1B and JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER

www.ZaZona.com

U.S. politicians are being wined and dined in Mumbai on a junket
organized by the CII and NASSCOM. Reps. Sheila Jackson and Joseph
Crowley proved to be their most vociferous supporters. Sheila Jackson
ranted against "unhealthy" legislation to protect American jobs and
said it's a "win-win situation" when jobs are sent to Mumbai. Their
attack was directed at New Jersey Sen. Shirley Turner's
anti-outsourcing bill.

Sheila Jackson must have a vendetta against the Texans that voted her
into office. A recent news article describes her participation on a
Congressional committee that will try to make it easier to obtain H-1B
and L-1 visas. Jackson's steadfast support for H-1B has never been
questioned, but now she seems to be taking job destruction to a more
dangerous level.

Crowley's role in Mumbai was important because he is the ringleader of
a lobby group called the "India Caucus". These Congressional
politicians vow to support the interests of India. The India Caucus web
page explains that they are a "not-for-profit lobbying organization
registered with the U.S. Federal Government" to "serve as a watch dog
for inaccuracies and bias in media coverage about India or Indians in
the United States." In other words, our politicians are lobbying
themselves to destroy U.S. jobs - go figure that!

Scroll down this page to see a list of seditious politicians that
proudly display their membership in the India Caucus.

Here are some quick stats:

US will not ban outsourcing: Congressman
siliconindia News Bureau

Thursday, April 17, 2003

Joseph Crowley, a visiting US Congressman, has said a New Jersey bill
that seeks to ban outsourcing of technical jobs to non-US entities is
an unhealthy legislation and such laws will not find favour with other
American states.

MUMBAI: "I don't think this is a healthy legislation, as outsourcing
results in a win-win situation for both the countries," Crowley, the
New York Congressman, told reporters on the sidelines of a function
organised in Mumbai, by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and
Nasscom.

Crowley, who heads India Caucus, is visiting India along with a group
of US legislators. He allayed fears that Indian software industry and
professionals would be gradually barred from operating in the US.

"About 2.6 million jobs were lost in US during the last two years, with
a million quarter from New York itself. This is highly sensitive issue
and we'll have to guarantee jobs to our citizens," he said, adding
outsourcing increased job opportunities in both India and US.

Earlier, speaking at the seminar Crowley said India was an "elephant"
among Asian tigers. "India might have a slow start, but once set off
there is no stopping the country."

Sheila Jackson Lee, a US legislator, said reduction in number of visas
to US, which would be reviewed this November, was due to a slowdown in
US economy.

"This is not a negative move, because as economy revives the cap will
be also raised," she added. Talking on the Enron issue, Lee said that
more trasparency should be brought in to check unethical practices.
