I agree with you 100%. Also I would like to add that anyone who does not recognize the stealing of American Jobs by foriegn workers is dumb or a foriegnor themselves. It is true, it is selfish to keep the jobs that originate in this country, within this country by employing Americans, but it was my Mother, Father, Grandmother, and Grandfather that made this country what it is, not some guy from India.
I am employed and have the same salary that I did before the boom in IT went to bust, but I am part of the 95% percentile of Software Engineers as far as ability goes. I compare myself to the H1B's in my company and the only reason I can compete is due to my abilities. I am better. But thats besides the point, I too can be hit by this problem, and realize when labor rates go low enough due to the letting in of more and more H1B. The true motive to let in so may H1's is to lower salaries, plain and simple. I am on the inside and I know. I have hired and fired. I have heard it stated in meetings, "to keep costs low, we will hire H1B". Go to http://www.hireamericancitizens.org/ for full details on the crap companies sling to get the labor rate as low as possible. Every argument I have ever heard is rebutted there so the lies can be discarded and the truth shall set US ALL free!
Companies understand men like me must adapt by lowering their required pay eventually and this is their goal. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Anyone out there that says "it wont happen to me", meaning they wont be affected by this H1B PROBLEM, because they consider themselves too competitive or whatever their screwed up logic is, they are one nieve bastard. Once it happens to you then it is too late. We must stop this NOW! There are no other countries in the world that would allow the hiring of outsiders to take jobs from their citizens in the extreme degree that the USA does.
Come on congress, help us out and yourselves out as well. Stop the madness! Reduce or halt the H1B visa in full.
