People that work in the US on H-1B visas are really indentured servants. They are sponsored in by the company and are payed a lower wage. However, the company that sponsors them in has influence over them because should they decide to leave for a better wage, they are reported to the INS. Also, they have a tendency to move 2 or 3 families into single family apartments. The landlords turn a blind eye to this as they jack up the rent across the board for all families in the apartment complex. So not only is the American worker taking it in the shorts from loss of employment opportunities but his cost of living skyrockets as well. There are certainly enough American workers to fill the high-tech jobs here in America.

Those 2 or 3 families? What visas are they holding? I think you are confused.

There are now, but that won't be true 5 years from now. Many have got out of the industry all together and won't be coming back, and there are not enough students getting an education for a jobs that are not currently available to fill the gap. Imagine that, people not getting educated for a job that doesn't exist for Americans anymore; who would have thunk it? Certainly not Bill Gates.
