Funny how the use a picture of a "help wanted" sign to make their point... Some companies will run the same ad for a high-paying IT or engineering position just about forever, but for some reason every one who applies is turned down because they only have 26 of the 27 industry-and-corporate-specific skills this job requires. Then, lo and behold, when they are unable to find even one single "qualified" American applicant, in comes the H1-B hire from Shanghai or Mumbai, who "just happens" to have all 27 of the 27 industry-and-corporate-specific skills and just the right number of years of experience!
It's absofreakinlutely amazing!

The bigger problem is that the country needs a steady supply of high pay low skill jobs. And how many public school administrators and Congressmen can we employ?

One contract firm who works pretty much exclusivly for Caterpillar went so far as to post an ad stating the applicant must be fluent in chinese or indian (or several of the various dialects)
How many americans do you think fit that job description?
