> It's utterly disgusting to make American workers second class citizens in their own country. How many more Disney's, Qualcomms, and Southern California Edison's do we need to see before we realize that the program is harmful to Americans?

They need to get rid of the fraud at places like Disney. Ban Tata and Infosys and other shitty consulting companies from obtaining H-1B ever again. Make the minimum cost 125k (about what MS and Google pay for H-1B), so it's not profitable for people to replace Americans (you get into the range where people are going to earn big bucks either way). Make it easier for an H-1B to switch jobs and announce that whistleblowers will be rewarded (money, green card slot, etc...).

As someone here on a visa I really, really, fucking hate these consulting companies for abusing the program. The company I work for is big, they create loads of jobs. They want to hire people on Visas because they want to hire pretty much anyone they can find who meets their bar.

I just don't think this is good enough.

Companies need to hire and train weaker candidates. It is socially unjust to make American workers compete with foreign nationals for jobs.
