“And our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker. And you know in a sense that sounds funny, but it’s what we’re trying to do here. We are complying with the law fully, but ah, our objective is to get this person a green card, and get through the labor certification process. So certainly we are not going to try to find a place [at which to advertise the job] where the applicants are the most numerous. We’re going to try to find a place where we can comply with the law, and hoping, and likely, not to find qualified and interested worker applicants.”
Disgusting. Good post and very informative.
WTF?
I’m not sure which is more shocking, that this is done or that someone thought it was a good idea to say out loud.
THIS is one of the reasons I got out of HR.....too much like GOVERNMENT!
Been going on a loooong time. My then-employer was doing this as far back as 1985 to help programmers and EEs to get green cards. We staff programmers used to have a good laugh at the way the ads were worded — we knew darn well why they were being run. I can’t recall for sure, but I was probably asked to contribute verbage to one or more of them.
Back then, no American citizen programmer with anything on the ball had trouble getting a decent job at good pay, so it really didn’t hurt that much. Don’t know whether that’s true anymore; I suspect not.
Don’t let Lou Dobbs see this.
Shocking.
This is about as horrendous an example of fraudalent activity employer as I could ever imagine.
This is pretty good example of our bad laws and very bad, corrupt, government have created our current immigration problems.
this one deserves nat’l attention.
The other way to look at this is, our government schools are so bad, these companies will go to this exreem to get people from somewhere else. But I suspect there’s some context to this video that we aren’t being told about.
Now MAYBE some of the foolish people here will believe me when I tell them point blank H1B is wholesale abused!
I’ve seen this for years, and when I say it here I’m called a liar. Now maybe you naive folks will understand reality.
These companies intentionally do this wholesale.
H1B is to skilled workers what illegals are to unskilled, period.
“OUR GOAL IS CLEARLY IS NOT TO FIND A QUALIFIED AND INTERESTED US WORKER.”
Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

My wife used to work for a privately owned Dutch company and they used similar ploys to bring their Dutch friends over at inflated salaries over Americans. They would use an obscure Dutch software and claim it as one reason, and the ability to speak Dutch as the other vital reason Americans could not do the work. Even though the software was not really used due to its inability to interface with anything and all their clients were Americans. A sham.
