Good. I'll probably get downvoted for this, but fuck it. The H1-B program is there to enable fulfilling positions where there are insufficient US citizens/permanent residents to fulfill positions with appropriate skills. The program has been long been abused.
H1-B is just a great way for the large sweat shops of Silicon Valley to bring in cheap labor and effectively price out domestic labor that is perfectly capable of performing the labor (i.e. We can't find labor at 1/2 the prevailing rate, thus I need an H1-B), but the companies don't want to pay the prevailing domestic rate.
If this is something you're actually concerned about, please take some extra time to craft your comment to be assubstantive, reasoned, and well-balanced as you can.
