A am in a high demand field. The captains of my industry just went to Washington to beg beg for more H-1Bs because they simply can't can't find enough Americans to do the work.

Congress recognized the critical nature of my industry and the existing zero unemployment rate here in Silicon Valley (and the vast campaign bribes contributions) and jacked up the number of low paid indentured servants I have to compete with for a job.

Any way I can get back under 50 that you know would be appreciated...

I fully understand your anguish over H1B because it affects your wages and even jobs. However the country as a whole benefits by importing low cost skilled labor. More companies can stay in business and make more profits using that work force. When companies prosper, they pay taxes. And they employ peripheral employees. And they buy stuff from other companies. A net plus for the country, a net minus for “null and void”.
