I'm sure the H1-Bs aren't working for a poverty wage since they have to live here too.

Guess again ...

Report by the Merky News in Sillycon valley last year. H1B's are only here for a short while. They commonly live with other H1B's 10-12 in a house. They are actually preferred to American workers not only for the substandard wages paid them but because the company can force them to work exhaustive hours knowing that the H1B can not complain for fear of losing their sponser (the company) and being sent back home. The companies also know that the H1B CANNOT seek employment elsewhere. H1B's are little better than indentured servents and are treated as such
