Good ones aren’t... and good ones who speak English and can interact professionally in the US business environment are even rarer.
What these idiots don’t realize is that they only appear to be getting H1Bs cheap - but those H1Bs are selling their corporate data and back end access on the black market. When that one H1-B worker almost successfully nuked Fannie Mae that should have been the signal to US businesses to ditch these guys.
If those outfits hiring foreign programmers are so stupid, then they should go bankrupt. Then smarter outfits will emerge to take their place and will hire only local talent.
Other option would be to make it illegal to hire foreign programmers. But then what stops those outfits from moving the whole operation abroad? With the World Wide Web it is not difficult to do just that in IT world. Then we lose not only IT jobs in US, but also all peripheral employees such as accountants, janitors, building mentence people etc. And we lose income tax & property tax & utility taxes paid by those outfits.
