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, which require high salaries in order to dissuade the displacement of American workers. It is therefore more expensive to pay for an Indian H-1B than it is to pay an American worker, because with an American worker, you can pay them whatever you want, as long as it is above minimum wage. Go here for the Federally mandated wage library, wherein wages for foreign (H-1B and Green Card) workers are etched in stone, and as you can see, are generally higher than what most American citizen workers in this country get, for any type of job.

Lie 1. And I can personally attest to this along with many others.

Before an H-1B can work here, the employer has to have a labor certification approved first, and compliance with the DOL wage standards are mandatory.

That labor certification is that there are NO QUALIFIED AMERICANS FOR THE JOB The IT industry belies that as being enforced. If the laws were enforced there would be no H1B visa holders working in IT in the USA.

Specifically, in that post #36, what was the lie? Can you please quote what exactly was the lie?

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