I dunno where you're getting these claims, and by the way it's the companies not citizens, but let's read the previous comments.

it's like you're deliberately unaware of companies' very successful efforts to modify the law in self-dealing ways, and even when that fails, to route around the law by stopping enforcement. Or the various well known and widespread h1b abuses that googling for seconds would find for you. Or even seen the list of posted salaries in your office, and noted they were way below market.
- bduerst 12y agoThe article linked to was an opinion piece against immigrants, hence the context. I also eluded to there needing to be evidence, which the op piece didn't really provide.
- x0x0 12y agoif you don't have evidence that h1bs are widely abused, and used to drive down wages, it's for no other reason than you're too lazy to google. It's also telling that you tar a neutral reporting piece discussing the impact of h1b visas as anti-immigrant, I guess because how else could you discredit it. I mean, right there in the very article you seem to have read is this: ComputerWorld revealed last week that the top 10 users of H-1B visas last year were all offshore outsourcing firms such as Tata and Infosys. and this More than 80 percent of H-1B visa holders are approved to be hired at wages below those paid to American-born workers for comparable positions, according to EPI. as the saying goes, if you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table.
- anjc 12y agoThere's plenty of evidence, and governments in western countries are lowering the "prevailing wage" requirements to far below market rates.
- bduerst 12y agoCan you list some evidence of LCA prevailing wages being lowered?
