the USA's new Immigration Bill can lead to $30 billion per year loss to India'

what is the bill?
The 'US Immigration Bill S744' calls for significantly cutting down on outsourcing of  IT work for certain visa holders(H1B or L1 visas.) that is mostly  used by Indian firms and professionals.
The bill bans outplacement of H1 or L1 visa holders if they form more than 15 per cent of a firm's US workforce.
It also limits the proportion of H1B and L1 visa workers relative to a firm's total US employees to 50 per cent by financial year 2017 ,starting October 2016.
Why democrats pushing this bill?
For the sake of vote bank . About 98 per cent bill is focussed on providing relief to 20 million Hispanic Americans. Democrats wants them to give citizenship that will give them huge vote bank.
and as per  its manifesto -poll campaign slogan 'Say No to Bangalore and Yes to Buffalo' used by Barack Obama in 2009.
There are millions of indians in USA. why they can't exert their influence favorably?
There are about 2 million eligible Indian origin people with voting rights  but hardly we have seen more than 30 per cent of them voting.
