Report Indicates Widespread H-1B Visa Fraud
Vrst1013 notes a Business Week account of a government report examining fraud in the H-1B program. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services just released a report to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee examining issues with fraud and technical violations within this program. Based on a sample size of 246 H-1B petitions, 13.4 percent showed fraud and 7.3 percent showed technical violations, for an overall violation rate of 20.7 percent. There was slso evidence of payment below the prevailing wage, offers of non-existent jobs, and fraudulent documentation. "'The report makes it clear that the H-1B program is rife with abuse and misuse,' says Ron Hira, [a professor] at the Rochester Institute of Technology ... However, both Presidential candidates, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, have said they support expanding the program."

You mean to tell me that a government program meant to keep wages artificially inflated is being abused? I'm shocked! Corruption in government? Impossible!
Next you'll try to tell me that big companies influence government officials to get favorable copyright legislation.

You mean Barr and Baldwin? To me, the rest don't matter anyway.
I told you guys the solution already: All IT folk should form into medieval-style guilds. Then, when any employers pull this shit, we get to dump boiling oil on the CEOs.

Of course I don't blame the workers for the fraud. You are simply looking for the best opportunity possible for yourself and your family. Immigrants are what makes this country great. We attract the best and the brightest. Most end up staying permanently (if possible).
A side benefit is the large number of Indian immigrants in my area has made it very easy to get excellent curry!

You don't understand.
In C a union of boiling oil and CEOs means that in some place you might have a bunch of CEOs, but it also may be a vat of boiling oil, and there is no way to check.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
