And what jobs are your H1B folks doing?

If you answer, software development, hardware and software support and you aren’t developing in COBOL or supporting a system built in the 1980s or prior you are in direct violation of the intent of the law even if you claim you have all your i’s dotted for the regulators.

There is no shortage of domestic software developers and support engineers, claiming you can’t find a native to do the jobs in those fields is a flat out lie.

I have sat through enough C level meetings to know exactly how companies play the game with the H1B thing.

All three of my IT guys are American -- and as far as I know, their families have been in the U.S. for at least three generations.

I have a few employees who you might consider "Chinese" and "Indian" ... but they are all U.S. citizens of Chinese and Indian descent. None of these are IT professionals.

When it comes to my company, you take just about any prevailing wisdom about immigrant workers in U.S. companies and throw it out the window -- because that's simply not how we do business.
