and so you think we are all lying about it

NO! But everything I read here leads me to believe the incidence of violations is through the roof, but no one is getting busted for it. I have hired H1-B's in the past (non-IT positions), and I followed both the spirit and the letter of the law. I would have no problem with violating companies being brought to their knees.

Thanks ... I have seen you post and wasn't sure if you were one of the free traitors or not ... seems that you're not. It's hard to sue a company in high tech. I'm in what is called EDA .... and though there are a several hundred of us in the field, it's really more close knit than one would think. Word such as suing a company gets around. Chances are ... win or lose ... that the person who sues a company will never get a job in EDA again.
