[ale] OT: H1B: PLEASE DISREGARD EARLIER POSTS

[tejus at vijedi.net (Tejus Parikh)]

Something that always bugs me is that American citizens are always
complaining about how H1B's are "stealing" all their jobs, but people
who want/need an H1B complain that they aren't any jobs willing to
accept them.

The thing is, I agree more with the H1bs than the citizens.  The last
time I looked for a computer professional position (about 2 months ago),
about 90%-95% of the job postings I saw explicitly said "No sponsorship
available."  My wife, who would have been an H1b before we got married,
got a few calls back, but the prospective employer's promptly lost
interest once they learned that she'd need a visa.  This included the
people with heavy Indian accents.
