As Indian firms fight the threat of H-1B restrictions, IT services companies might not leave their fate to politics. In an effort to reduce their need for visas, they may look to increase their presence south of the border.

The question is, will NAFTA allow Indian workers to find a way to avoid H-1B restrictions and enter the U.S.?
