Ignoring India's concerns, the Obama administration has thrown its full weight behind the comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the US Senate, arguing that it would benefit immigrants from countries like India and China.
The White House made its position clear on the contentious H-1B provisions of Senate version of the immigration bill in a fact sheet prepared for the Asian American and Pacific Islander Community (AAPI), which includes the influential Indian American community.
"The Senate bill would create new visa pathways for immigrant entrepreneurs and investors and make key improvements to the H-1B programme," the White House said in its fact sheet, without taking note of the concerns of India and Indian businesses in this regard.
