Why would it make a qualified American developer less attractive to Google?

Because it will become easier to import someone who is more qualified.

There's nothing wrong with working for Infosys. How many people you think are capable and want to work for Google?

I'm not saying it's morally right or wrong. I'm just saying the set of people that get H1B visas will change, and the shift will be toward higher-end jobs.
