The Disney worker was replaced by a contracted company which supposedly hired H1B workers. Of course, THAT doesn’t make for juicy writing, so generally is excluded from these stories.

Wait a minute. They're "transferring" the knowledge from one group of people to another group of people?!

Issues of replacing U.S. workers with foreigners aside, I do not think knowledge works like that.

If you look carefully at the H1B regulations, thee is an exclusion for employers of H1B visa holders who are paid at least $60K.

The exclusion? The employer can lie as much as they want to in their certifications about not replacing Americans and there is nothing the government can do about it. These H1B positions are "exempt" from the certification requirements, although certification is still required.This obfuscation was carefully handcrafted by Congressman paid off by industry.

The average pay for an experienced systems developer in Chicago is $102K.

Do the math.

Anyone know if we have the graduates to fill all the open positions to stop the visa infiltrators and knowledge theft? Not that it will happen within the year. Can those visas be revoked by the next prez?

They come here for that. They take American ideas home.

H1B is easy to fix.

The attitude among American corporate management that IT is a generic, non-critical business service like landscaping or housekeeping is impossible to fix.

This is an issue with the H1-B workers that nobody ever seems to mention. Technology workers learn on the job. Right now, those jobs are overwhelmingly going to workers from other countries. While these people are being employed in vast numbers, the American talent pool is growing smaller and smaller.
