what you said in 191 is worth repeating. About 5-6 years ago people became suspicious because some h1b people just didn't have the skills that their resumes advertised. Congress did an investigation, they sent people to India to find out exactly how it was working. The investigators were investigating incognito so as to actually find fraud. Here's how it works. Americans ask recruiter in India to get a person with certain skills. If they don't have such person readily available, then they just lie about it, they falsify resumes like crazy in this program. Who can check? Are you going to call India and check? Who you going to talk to, the recruiter? and whoever else he points you to, that's who. So, there is massive fraud in the resumes, congress has proven this. But it doesn't matter. The corps just want a smart person who has potential and will work as indentured servitude.

That is exactly right. And that is what REALLY burns me up when those who have no clue as to the reality of the situation insist that the problem is with our schools. There are hundreds of thousands of HIGHLY educated and skilled engineers that simply can't get an interview, let alone a job. The lies and misrepresentations made to Congress in relation to a "shortage" of skilled workers in this country amounts to criminal fraud.

In fact, the last time I checked, it is a felony to conspire to violate someone's civil rights under color of law. That is exactly what has occured. Middle aged engineers are the victims of a conspiracy to deny them employment due to their age. Now who is going to enforce the law?
