I'm calling BS.
I've worked for, with, and in competition with Desi H1-B High Tech employees.
Here in Silicon Valley they are paid less, expected to work longer and harder, and are fearful of getting deported should they seek employment elsewhere.
Perhaps "sweatshop" is hyperbole, but the working conditions are much harsher on an H1-B. It's still a zillion times better that back home, though!
Although I've been displaced by H1-B's on more than one occasion, I still like these guys, they have a certain enthusiasm and sense of humor that appeals to me.
I just wish the world was a level playing field (at US standards!)
BINGO! We have a winner!
And, are any of them chained to their workstations?
Were any of them forced to come to work here?
Hyperbole is an understatement.
