This leads to an interesting concept for a class action lawsuit.
People refer to the H-1B scam as visa "abuse," but not "criminal." The H-1B visa is for temporary workers for jobs where qualified Americans cannot be found. One might argue the good-faith search when companies that couldn't "find" qualified Americans and then hire H-1B visa workers. That is abusing the process by not really looking for qualified Americans, or just looking where Americans will not be found.
However, terminating experienced job incumbents and forcing them to train their H-1B replacements crosses the line from "abuse" to "criminal activity," as qualified Americans clearly exist to do the job. Therefore, compelling the displaced employee into silence of the crime by withholding severance becomes extortion and forcing the employee to be an accomplice after the fact.

I would love to be on the jury because the jury can award more then asked for if they feel it is appropriate.

Excellent points!
Wouldn’t a Class Action Suit leave very little to the victims? due to lawyers getting their large share.
