H1B’s don’t make less. Get American kids to start getting STEM degrees and we won’t need to hire H1B’S. Until then, we need more H1B’s.

Exactly. My son just got his Chemical Engineering degree from Purdue. He said the work to get the degree was grueling, and a lot of American kids aren't willing to stay up until 3 a.m. on Friday nights doing calculations to get that degree. But the Asian kids are. His commencement program read like the Shanghai phone book.

Sorry, not sure for whom you work, tho I am glad that your company is not underpaying H-1B visa workers.

However, according to my son, IT worker in Cali, they do make less. BTW, all my family members have STEM degrees (2 PhDs, 1 BS/MS, and 1 AS/BS) and they all say H1B visas are affecting US jobs and salaries.

You are talking about kids getting STEM degrees, yet there are many displaced tech workers...read about Disney and Edison—they are not easily finding work.
