>Anything that can be done to eliminate the latter practice would help the "good players" in this particular arrangement. There is no such thing as "Can't find in US" none of the tech jobs are specialty occupation in that sense. You can always hire a java coder and make him learn PHP. The whole notion that you cant find a person to do your job in USA is completely false. Getting someone from abroad always beens better at same cost or comparative at lower cost. > worked for and know of several individuals who have had to train H-1B visa holders to do the job they were scheduled to lose in two months (or lose their severance pay). What did those individuals do ? jumped off some bridge ? Barely. They must be doing jobs somewhere else and chances are they are actually doing better in life. Do you think Facebook,Google, SnapChat and other startups would find same quality of people at same price if Comcast and ATT were not outsourcing their billing services etc. to Indians ? Just increase H1B limits to where it stops mattering.
