Care to expand? I know absolutely nothing about the subject, but I've heard the same before.

Your legality is tied to your job. So if you want to stay in the country, you have to basically be a "slave" to your workplace and meet their demands, etc.

Not completely true. If you get fired, you have a month to find a different job. Of course, the issue is with finding a different job that is willing to jump through the hoops involved in letting immigration know that you are now working with them, but there are plenty. Problem is, of course, that knowing that you are dependent on them, some companies will give you worse conditions than a resident/citizen with the same skills would have, especially as far as the salary is concerned.
skilled immigrant here. I live in Stockholm.
I think that US immigration system is broken. They have to fix h1b a.k.a slavery visa thingy. That is the primary reason why I am not moving to US. I am not sure how you guys provide that free-pass.
