This is a lie - I’ve been in IT for 15 years. And am watching plenty of qualified pros across all kinds of IT disciplines be replaced by H1B’s simply because they are cheaper.

Not only that - the qualified pros are being forced to train their unqualified replacements.

Many scads of documentation around the H1B fraud. The goal of this program is to replace american IT jobs with imported and offshored resources that work for about 40% of what Americans demand for these jobs. Pay attn. to Senator Sessions:

Thanks for posting this listing of articles. I get so tired of hearing politicians and even conservatives continually citing the meme that we need all these foreign IT workers due to a shortage of qualified US workers.

I truly doubt that the IT workers coming from India have all the skills many of the posted jobs require...but once hired by a US company, they pretty much belong to the company...

Not so with US IT professionals who can move to better paying jobs. One of my kids, an IT professional, changed jobs—doubled salary by doing so. Can change jobs again if opportunity presents, but I don’t think H-1B visa holders can. Also stated that salaries for certain positions and levels are tamped down due to H-1B Visa holders.
