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.

So what you are saying is that we are carefully protecting the moderate to low paying jobs?
