Well, duh.
H1B PROGRAM IS AND ALWAYS WAS AN ABSOLUTE SCAM!!!
H1B is to skilled workers what illegal immigrants are to the unskilled.
Its a complete FRAUD! Government should mandate a $100,000 fee per H1B approved. If these companies TRULY cannot find an american that can do the job (which is how its supposed to work) then they’ll have no issues paying to get a person who can do this highly specialized work they need done by a foreigner.
You do that, you’ll see H1B’s dry up tommorrow and all the lies that there aren’t american’s able to do the job myth go away in a heartbeat.
If U.S employers can’t use H-1 visas to bring qualified workers to the U.S., they will outsource the job to India. Which is better — having the job in the U.S. filled by a foreign worker, or having the job in a foreign country filled by a foreign worker. That is the choice. I would prefer the former.
They're idiots.
