> They have a point based system which lets decently talented immigrants in

I keep hearing about Indian tech talents but I haven't met one in real life yet. The ones I know are very good at nepotism. They usually exaggerate each other's works and belittle non-Indians' works. At my workplace, many even take credits of others. I understand that they are doing all of these to reinforce the rumor of Indian tech talents and to pressure managers to hire more Indians. However, I must admit that I haven't met one with actual technical skills and decent characters. IMO, many are political talents.

Then you need to work at a better place :) Unfortunately, its very easy to form a bad opinion about Indian tech talent by working at places which hire the cheap talent. When companies offshore or hire contractors, they forget a key principle which applies everywhere in life, 'you get what you pay for'.
