But you make my point. Phily isn’t Orlando. Disney and Universal together hire about 130,000 employees.
You aren’t willing to relocate. I don’t blame you. I’m not a college kid either. I’m settled in my life and wouldn’t move to Orlando or anywhere for a job.
You say there isn’t any indication they tried to look locally. But that’s speculation on your part. There is no indication they didn’t and given the nature of the publicity, somebody would have dug up evidence (as oppose to pushing agendas) that they did violate the law.
But H1Bs are only peripheral to Trumps comments. He didn’t call for ending the HB1 contracts. That’s something I would have been neutral about. Given the Orlando job market, they might or might not have done their due diligence.
If they hired H1Bs without trying to find American replacements, I hope some court frags them. I really do. It is entirely the government’s Constitutional prerogative to determine under what immigration rules people can come and work in this country. If those rules were violated, throw the damn book.
And yet, I will never believe it’s the government prerogative to force a private sector employer to hire and pay employees they don’t want.
You are addressing the HB1 angle. Trump did not. That’s the difference and it’s a huge one.

Did you even read the artice? From the link:
"If I am President, I will not issue any H-1B visas to companies that replace American workers and my Department of Justice will pursue action against them," Trump said as he slammed his rival Marco Rubio for his support of a visa programme that brings highly skilled foreign workers into the US to perform in-demand tech jobs.
Trump is specifically addressing the H-1B abuses that Disney is engaging in.
