The threat of being sent back to Pakistan is far more effective than the threat of landing on unemployment for an employee who doesn’t think he should work 70 or 80 hours per week.

I had a coworker back in the early 80’s who was laid off. The INS was at his door when he got home. They sent him back to Iran.

NO ONE has heard from him since.

A few months ago I worked with a young H1B computer programmer whose wife had miscarried twins. His company required him to travel cross country to a customer location even though his wife was still carrying the fetuses, and was near emotional breakdown.

It was about the saddest thing I've seen, and a clear demonstration of how these workers are shamefully exploited.

Bingo! H1Bs are effectively an indentured servant program and this is what Bill Gates and others of ilk love about them.
