In Hartford, CT area at parts of United technologies at Aetna, US Healthcare, Piney Bowes. Sun microsystems among a few. Hey it is also against the law to employ illegal aliens at less than a minimum wage but there seem to be plenty. It is criminal to do anything to help harbor an illegal alien but that happens. All I want to see is the damn law enforced. Given that we are talking a 10% or higher unemployment rate among IT workers I think the least we can ask is that the law be enforced. Prosecute some people for perjury for some of their false staements.

Numerous consulting firms charge under $20/hour for H1b consultants that replace workers who were making in the $90,000/yr range. The specific lies include that H1B workers are actually paid anything like the prevaiuling wage in an area.

H-1B workers are paid equal to or higher wages than US Workers because their wages are literally dictated and enforced by the Department of Labor

This is a specific and clear lie as if this were enforvced the market for H1b workers would not be there.

You have two separate governmental agencies, the BCIS and the DOL, regulating the H-1B program - and still whiner butts like you can't get enough government intervention to protect you from competition.

When did you first realize that you were a big government loving Communist?
