I found this paragraph on the link you provided to be quite interesting :

“It is my observation that focusing narrowly on fraud is favored by the cheap labor lobby because they can make the following argument: “give us more H-1Bs and in return we will give you more enforcement”. How about if instead of enforcement of a program we didn’t ask for, they gave us our jobs back?”

My response : GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. Remember this -— Companies are in their respective businesses to MAKE A PROFIT. For publicly listed companies, it’s about the bottom line -— keeping shareholders (like you and me in many cases ) happy. How to increase profits ? One way is to CUT COSTS. How to cut costs ? Find someone who can do the job for less than half the price.

That’s just the reality my friend. How do you propose we solve this problem without interfering with the free market system ?

My friend, it's not a free market if American companies and workers are placed at a severe disadvantage by onerous taxes, extreme environmental regulations, political correctness. Globalism, and various 'free trade' agreements have in reality functioned as a form of reverse protectionism (to quote freeper piasa).

Guest workers pay no or partial taxes. That alone puts American workers at a severe disadvantage. These same guest workers can benefit from taxes paid by American workers, e.g. free health care.

Workers off shore can live well on $10,000 per year.

How about smaller government, lower taxes (income, coorporate), get rid of radical environmental restrictions, tort reform, no goodies for illegal aliens to name a few potential solutions?

How do you propose to keep the free market system alive when companies continue to cut workers? Without jobs these workers cannot buy the goods and services supplied by the free market. I believe it becomes a vicious cycle, that will eventualy spin out of control. The spin cycle may have already started.
