>Just look at how many H1B positions are advertised and how much legal but shady stuff goes on. Put ad in local paper among classifieds for "free dirt available", if any resumes are received from US citizens they are discarded (note they have to be "considered" but not accepted), and so on. That video has nothing whatsoever to do with H1B. It is for a green card application which is completely a different thing. The choice the employer faces is, does he sponsor a green card for someone working for many years and has invaluable company knowledge, or send them home and hire someone with the same qualifications but train them again on the company internals.
