Very true... only best should deserve and priority should be given to citizens of this country first. I am working on H1B and I can feel the pain of fellow US workers. However, one should look at their past and must understand that people have migrated from all over the world in past when there were no visa restrictions. May be even now citizens some countries enjoy a free passage to the main stream job market.
Please do not blame, hate us (H1B workers) coming to this country through legal channel. We all coming here in the search of better career opportunity, earning good money, having good quality of life. It is responsibility of the law makers to ensure that proper due diligence is done before any foreign worker is to be hired. There is a process in place, minimum education criteria before anybody can be hired on h1B visa. So I can say confidently that 90% H1B candidates comes with good education, higher skills. For some of them English may not be the first language so they may not be as savvy in spoken English as the US Born people but don't make a mistake of writing them off as unskilled, uneducated fake candidates.
We are also victims of some greedy, unethical companies with whom we have to work just because they hold our H1B visa. We have to follow unethical practices otherwise our Visa’s will be cancelled. We have to stick to these employers for years and years while we wait for Green cards. We have to manage with low salaries, no benefits.
If US Government streamlines it Green card processing rules then many of us would be willing to work with good companies and have good career growth, have a good pay instead of working as a low pay worker. US employers will then hire foreign workers only due to its competency and not for low rates. It will be a level playing ground for all.
So I sincerely request all my US friends, brothers and sisters to helps us free from this modern day slavery. Please sign the petition.
