Yes - I had one before I got my green card. As I have stated before, the main flaw is the lottery instead of giving the Visas to those offered the highest salary. The complaints about cheap foreign labor would go away then.
Then surely you would support regulation in support of the law which requires any H-1B be paid a "prevailing wage" in order to gain entry?
In other words, if the guy that's be replaced is making $125k, or if an American could be lured to the position for $125k, then the job must pay $125k.
Of course, that would end the H-1B program and you probably would not have permanent residency.
That’s one of the best posts I’ve seen on the H1B issue in a long time. Hope you’re planning to stay (and vote).
The main flaw is in the H1-B visa scheme is that it’s corporate welfare in disguise. The government is using policies to artificially lower wages in science and technology fields and lying about it.
It’s not done so much for cost as much as it is done to have a pliant workforce. Cost just gets it across the threshold.
