They were bringing in 240,000 H-1B workers during the 2002 IT slump. Shameless.

And how many are they bringing in today ?

I believe the number is fixed at 64,000.

I saw several Indian Nationals on H1Bs being treated like crap by an agency of the US government when I was a contractor. They had to toe the line or the HR folks made their lives miserable. And the management exploited this every chance they got. The Indians were thankful to be here but knew they were on the short end of the stick.

I'm not sure, but a few weeks back IBM told some people if they want to keep their jobs, move to India willing to work on local terms and conditions. Thats it in a nutshell. One H1-B is one too many. They are not just displacing workers, but the alternative is to move to the old crap-hole the H1-B just vacated.

All the work visa programs together bring in 140,000 foreign workers per month, or 1,680,000 per year. This does not include the millions of illegal aliens who slip across the border.
