Not true, only H1B rule is they have to "attempt to hire an american for 6 months before hiring an H1B employee".. which was NEVER enforced.. I worked for start up after start up that wasn't 6 months old who had H1B's doing jobs I could hire an american for at the drop of a hat, but its cheaper to have the quasi slave labor of the H1B more often than not.... the whole thing is a scam.

I disagree simply because that has not been my experience. Undoubtedly, there are people who will find a way to flout any rule, however that does not mean thet the rule is inherently flawed.

Judging from my own practical experience this is indeed true. A lot of good American engineers do not get hired because of the hugh amount of H1Bs. What's even more disturbing is now that former H1Bs are now in Management and only hires engineers with their particular ethnic background or similar.
