You claim that H-1bs are indentured slaves. All the H-1bs I know in the computer field make $60,000/year. Remeber that the average salary in America is under $30,000/year. Half of the H-1bs stay in America as they will get their green card, and then five years later, can become citizens. If this program is slavery then this kind of slavery is very attractive for many of the slaves.

It's slavery to us in the sense the H-1B holders are tied to that business for however long they hold the visa. They are technically not free to move about. Also, they can't complain about working conditions or an a$$ whole boss otherwise it's back home you go. And what benefits are they getting? Are they receiving medical and vacation time? There are a variety of reasons business wants this program, it's all to their advantage, not the American workers.
