I can understand the delay, but some, if not all DSL providers make you pay up front for service you are not going to get for another 3-4 month. I mean what the hell is this, it is like going to a car mechanic and pay him 1000 dollars for future oil changes. IMHO, the wait for DSL will be alot shorter if they have to give you service before they take your money. I signed up for DSL with PSN, good luck reaching their support, you are looking at 3 to 4 hour on hold. And when I get to some CSR, all I was told that some stupidvisor was working on my line. Damn if I only knew...
Slaves? H1Bs aren't that much better off. If you don't like the work you are doing or was treated badly by your manager, you can just say F this, I quit. For a H1B, they have to go through a lot crap to switch companies and do a transfer. So they don't have as much freedom as say you or me.
They probably work for less pay, because a citizen can just walk off to another company like that. H1Bs have much less mobility in general. Plus some companies won't hire a H1B because it takes too damn long to do a transfer.
On the bright side, if those companies want them bad enough, they can probably hire some expensive immigration lawyer to show how employee x is very valuable to the US and get him a green card or something.
And what is with this idea that if they get deported, some of you might get jobs? Doesn't talent count for anything anymore?
