Hatch said the Senate should not tolerate fraud and abuse in the H-1B program, but he questioned whether it alone was causing the U.S. unemployment problems. He questioned whether the facts supported accusations that companies are using the H-1B visa program to hire cheap labor. The average H-1B worker salary is $55,000, while the average salary of a U.S. worker with a bachelor's degree is $46,000, Hatch said.

The average H-1B worker salary is $55,000, while the average salary of a U.S. worker with a bachelor's degree is $46,000, Hatch said.

Apples and oranges, Troll_Dawg. One figure is $55,000 for an H1-B. H1-B's typically work in high-tech. The average salary for a US high-tech worker with a bachelor's is $68,000 (Source: ComputerWorld, 2003). The figure you and Orinthal James Hatch presented was the average salary of a U.S. worker in any field with a bachelor's degree is $46,000.

Thusly, every H1-B saves american business on average, $13,000 -- at the expense of qualified American workers. This is direct government intervention that you so loudly proclaim you are against.

I know it is imperative to you to try to destroy as many US jobs as possible, but I won't let you get away with your lies.

Besides, someone with a college education would know to look out for such a transparant manipulation of the origins in the statistics. I did. You didn't.
