> And to add my own anecdote to this discussion without siding with anyone else's viewpoint (because I'm a special snowflake with my own nuanced opinions): I've worked at companies that chronically underpay H1B workers. The ones that got fair pay were the ones that were brave enough to demand it. That is really a different issue. The law says that there is a baseline salary to be met. Now anything above that is what the employee should be negotiating. There are enough American/women/$minority engineers who get underpaid because they suck at negotiating. That doesn't necessarily mean discrimination exists.
