Do you have any data that supports this? Is there somewhere that publishes how many H-1B visas the exchanges hire, and where they're from? Considering how much money is flowing through these places (digitally, speaking), I'm skeptical that there's zero background checking involved.
Speaking in hypothetical, sure it would be possible. But I'd need more data to be convinced.
- us0r 12y ago"I'm skeptical that there's zero background checking involved" You shouldn't be. Just yesterday it was essentially revealed Amazon does not do background checks (at least not on Education)[0]. One of the governments contractors for background checks (including Snowden) was charged for defrauding the government on 660,000 checks[1] (and many if not all of these are for security clearances).

- MichaelGG 12y agoIf it's a state sponsored spy, the background check would not find that out. I thought it was a given that nations would recruit people to be spies, but they'd have a normal, successful, career. I would be shocked if every big country doesn't have well placed people in various top industry positions. In fact, as a Canadian, I'd be upset if Canada isn't doing that. It seems so easy, cheap and potentially highly effective.
