...allows American companies to fill gaps in the workforce from overseas with highly skilled employees, who can’t be found in the U.S/

Lie and lie. It does not "fill gaps" and these skills can be found in the US. Its for short sighted cheap labor, with no benefits given to the visa holder.

You’re Fired - 60 Minutes transcript

The case shown on 60 Minutes is by no means unique. I had the same thing happen to me several years back. Greedy employers, and congressmen willing to be compliant for the right "contributions" are to blame for these abuses. The argument that H1Bs fill positions where there are no qualified Americans has never been true.

Isn’t it strange that this has gone on for the last 10-12 years, yet “60 Minutes” waits till Trump is in office to bring it up???

On a different note, my employer (who is based in India) is actually hiring more US CITIZENS because of Trump’s actions.
During the first travel ban,several people they planned to bring over from India couldn’t get visas.

I watched this with my LIBERAL brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and when the segment started they said they were disgusted that Republicans would do something like this.

I LAUGHED MY DONKEY OFF when the location turned out to be University of California San Francisco Children's Hospital, and the president of UCSF that approved the plan turned out to be JANET FREAKING NAPOLITANO!

What H1 and related are really about is making sure the IT people don’t rise to executive level in the business. Executives correctly assume that the docile Indian workers won’t challenge them the way native Americans do. Software developers are more intelligent than the average business director and will eventually take over executive leadership in many corps, the way marketing and financial guys did generations ago. The children of the Indian workers who are taking our jobs for half the pay, or less, won’t be so docile. So, we will have second generation Americans running things. At least the traditional business school people will finally be demoted.

I used to be very afraid of outsourcing

But since then I’ve made a very lucrative career fixing software they tried to write.

The brain drain is long since over...

They seem to be giving away college degrees with 3 cereal box tops these days.

The reason the HB-1 program had to be invented was that America has been aborting over 1 million babies per year.

The politicians who put the 1998 loophole in the 1990 H-1B visa knew exactly what they were doing - betraying their country.

Hanging them after they are tried and found guilty of treason is too good for these politicians. A wood chipper set on very slow speed should be used instead.

"The 13th Amendment passed in the wake of the American Civil War has made indentured servants illegal in the United States."

So why is this still allowed????

Democrats and RINOs love H1B, H2B and any kind of amnesty or anti-American worker program. Why? What is wrong with these people? I wouldn’t care what was wrong if they could just be removed from any position of power. But there they are so WHY!?

I watched the teasers and the lead-in for this 60 Minutes segment. My question is, Where has CBS been for the last 10 years? This misuse of H1B has been obvious for at least this long.

I’ll see if anyone takes a swing at that in the thread. I can only assume people take a swing at CBS over this in the comments.

One thing I was waiting for them to mention (but they didn’t) is that foreign workers in these programs often fake their degrees and experience.

In the comments, pay attention to what @hoapres has to say. He’s usually spot on.
