This topic has been hashed through so many times and it's always the same.
H1Bs are used to distort the costs for engineering, not for hiring skilled workers that we cannot find. The engineers are then treated like slaves (Infosys), and at below market rates, to further distort the market value of these workers.
So we know that the companies are just simply lying when they say, "We can't find US workers." It's always, "We can't find US workers for what we want to pay." We know how they game it, and we know how it can be fixed, but the politicians simply won't step up. It's political suicide.
I'm glad that some people are poking at this problem, but the corporations are the ones with the deep pockets and we know who wins out there.
We can only rant and rave, send letters to deaf congressmen and yet, it seems like it's just completely moot and we're just plain ignored.
Sad state of affairs with easy fixes, but no political will. That's the state of the US these days it seems: Corporation ruled.
