Surely the State of California is insuring the above requirement is met. Especially since Obama travelled to India last year and discussed the program with Indian leaders.

The irony of employing people belonging to a caste system (where your family's surname decides whether or not you go to University or dress as a woman and suck dick) goes completely unnoticed or more likely ignored on purpose.

BTW the EB-5 Visa program enacted by Bill Clinton during his last year in office has worked, if 'working' means half of all U.S. motels are now owned by Indians (well not Indians but Indians from state of Gujarat) again because of the caste system.

I suppose it would be very difficult to stop either program now since we are a country with a open door immigration policy. Part of the never ending atonement we seek for allowing slavery 150 years ago.

Maybe a bit dramatic however wages far below market due to the fact that someone on H1B CAN NOT work for anyone other than the company holding the VISA hence the term Slave. How is that allowed in a "Free Market"? If there was a shortage then why haven't real wages moved in 20+ years?

i find it a disgrace that u.s. companies hire people on H1B's so that they can pay them far less than a comparable u.s. worker.

The ease of hiring H-1B workers certainly hasn't helped. 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. Experts who track labor conditions in the technology sector say that older, more expensive workers are particularly vulnerable to being undercut by their foreign counterparts. "You can be an exact match and never even get a phone call because you are too expensive," says Norman Matloff, a computer science professor at the University of California-Davis. "The minute that they see you've got 10 or 15 years of experience, they don't want you."
