Searching the H-1B data base for SBC Communications http://www.zazona.com/LCA-Data/ it appears that the company was busy getting H-1B visa's in 2001 (over 1000). Do you know if the company is actively replacing Americans with foreigners on H-1B Visa's?

Of course, foreigners are less expensive. Too bad you can't vote the CEOs of corporations into their positions, but, hey, this is a free-market society and the bottom line rules.

Replacing workers, I don't know, but I'd doubt it. I know there seem to be quite a few Indians working for the company in very technical positions. I assume that's where they found the skills they needed.

they probably are. in our town they are outright hiring H1-bs only in the newspaper help wanted ads (isn't that discrimination of some sort?)
