Well, those offering it might not have dared to speak about racial IQ differences, but they always operate with those truths in mind.
I think H1B itself is a bit of a red herring - the program is certainly being misused, but it is too small to make much difference in actual American citizen unemployment numbers. The bigger question is how we ended up with a Chamber of Commerce who sees the hiring of Americans as such a liability.
The deliberate stifling of small business by government to benefit rent-seeking CoC members has had an enormous effect on the unemployment rate. We know government benefits from forcing as many employees as possible to work for large corporations with fully staffed HR departments acting as arms of the Department of HHS...but why have so many, presumably well-educated, senior executives fallen into this shallow fascist trap?
The actual numbers on H1B are very hard to obtain and evaluate.
Non-profits, universities, and government agencies are legally allowed to hire an infinite number and renew them indefinitely.
In the commercial world, one contract can be extended for up to six years.
And, H1B’s are constantly transitioning upwards, from a work visa to Green Cards.
The number of H1B’s working in the USA today is NOT 65,000.
It's about 600,000.
About 400,000 are concentrated among software engineers and related professions.
The fact that median income for USA software engineers has been stagnant for the last 15 years tells me H1B’s have a significant impact on that industry.
In addition, the H1B program in software engineering discriminates on the basis of age, gender, and race.
At least 80% of them are Asian Indian males between age 25 and 40.
They are used to systematically replace older American workers.
And, because most H1B’s are aiming for a Green Card, they are much more pliant to management demands for long hours and high productivity.
