Good work Ron. The H1-B visa program has been a sore topic for me over the last couple of years. I realized what was going on here but could never provide a good resource for others to get up to speed on the topic. That is until now! This is great.

Ron, I am at a loss to understand the policies of our elected officials in so many areas I've just about decided to drop out and quite worrying about it.

Either I am over the hill and too stupid to understand what the heck is going on, or our government officials have simply declared war on our own nation and citizens. Neither possibility is very appealing.

To say the least, I am very demoralized by what I am seeing. Someone else posted that the feds are about to allow people from upwards of 29 nations to enter our nation without visas. You could go ahead and tell me that our government wants to play it safe. Just don't ever expect me to believe a word of it.

This is nothing new. A very close friend of mine that worked for Hughes Aircraft industrial division in the 70s and 80s that over half their engineers were foreign and happilly earning $18k or less when he was making $50k and tickeled to death to be making that much. I went to a Christmas party at his house in the late 70s and half the people there were these foreign engineers, people that he worked with.
