Reality: Employers may hire workers under H-1B visas only if they cannot find suitable U.S. citizens. The Department of Labor's Employment & Training Administration (ETA) set up a technical-skills training grant program, awarding cash to business partnerships that provide computer and engineering training to American workers. The ETA says its goal is to "lessen their dependence on high-skilled foreign workers," not increase it.
This sounds like propaganda written by the INS in conjunction with big business. I personally know 2 highly qualilfied computer engineers who have been laid of since last summer.
