Also to #5 I have worked in various industries and H1-B visa are NO MORE qualified than US citizens. Low-level IT workers from certain parts of asia, are unqualified and dishonest. Anyone that’s called basic IT support for Apple, Dell, Microsoft, etc can confirm this. These companies train these workers to “mimic” American slang and speech. More deceit. The only advantage is lower pay paid-out by employers and the “at-will” status of H1-B visa holders. They have to leave the country once terminated. Problem solved and out of sight.

I think H1-B is a sham. Do I have to be an illegal alien to get rights in this country? I just don’t get it.

- To obtain an H1B visa, every applicant must, first, find a job with an H1B visa employer
company in the USA; commonly known as your ‘H1B sponsor’. - Your H1B employer then applies for / files your H1B visa application. Individuals can NOT sponsor or apply for their own H1B visa - ONLY your new employer (sponsor) can.
- An H1B visa is typically valid for up to six (6) years and entitles your spouse (husband/wife)
and children to accompany you and ‘live’ in America.
- One of the main advantages of the H1B visa (USA work permit) is that it is a ‘dual intent’
visa which means that you can apply for a Green Card (Legal Permanent Residency). ”

Being an immigrant from India (legal one) I partially disagree with your comment about national security.

Biggest threats to a nation’s security are none other then its own govt servants/politicians who have and can manipulate records. If you compare frauds/scams done by politicans v/s those done by legal/illegal immigrants, you will come to know what I am talking.

H1-B visas are issued to professionals, they work here and spend some of it and remit the savings to their home country. This looks a bit one way traffic to US citizens. Now if you see the reverse, many many MNC’s do business in developing world… dont they earn money there..? dont they remit their earnings back to US..? so kid, its globalization, if you can sell Pepsi, coke and get dollars out of India… then be ready to return those dollars as paycheck back to Indians.. what goes.. must come back…!!
