Re: “Most of legal immigrants come under HB-1 and are very skilled.”
Sorry, that’s not correct.
We add about 1.5 million legal residents each year, which is also known as a “Green Card.”
Only about 10% of that number comes from H1-B applicants.
Even worse, most H1-B visa holders REPLACE older (like age 40) American workers, especially in software related businesses.
Wages and salaries in occupations that have the most H1-B workers have been stagnant for the last 10-15 years.
Most H1-B workers are seeking a Green Card.
They are willing to work long hours for a modest paycheck in order to get that Green Card.
American corporations use the H1-B visa to suppress wages, to acquire docile foreign workers, and to create fear in their home grown American work force.
Can you source that? I read and hear so different but usually from immigration lovers. Thanks.
