A citizen of India, Rajendrasinh B. Makwana attempted to sabotage the computer database at Fannie Mae. He was, according to news reports, employed as a so-called temporary foreign worker who had been authorized to work in the United States temporarily under the provisions of the H1B visa that had been issued to him.

Here’s how this appalling situation can be summed up:

This is the real threat to society, not the sinking of Fannie Mae. But the strange case of Makwana does bring up a number of issues. The main one is the use of H1B visa workers – and holders of other alien-worker documentation – in sensitive areas.

Why was Makwana working at Fannie Mae in the first place? Are you telling me no American citizen could have done his job?

This is not a new concern. It has long been believed that in most cases H1B visas in technology have been exploited by companies such as Fannie Mae only because programmers coming from India work cheaper. But there is no way of knowing much about any of these folks, and that immediately becomes a homeland-security issue.

The issue of this Fannie Mae employee actually illuminates an even broader issue that

We are being looted by people with American citizenship so why wouldn’t a foreigner join in?

Ameriquest/Argent/ACCH/whatever Citigroup is calling their acquisition today... was infested with H1Bs - some of whose prior place of employment was ENRON.

The better to enable the falsification of FICO scores, and other monkey business, of course...

Having one's feet held, via H1B Limbo, over the fires of the lower echelons of the caste system appeared to be quite motivational.
