They spoke about many cases were someone was fired at 70k for an H1B to take
that job from them at 50k or less during the bust.

While I don't think tis happens anywere near as much today (what with all
the offshoring) it still happens, and it's disingenuous to act like it does
not.

Something that always bugs me is that American citizens are always
complaining about how H1B's are &quot;stealing&quot; 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 &quot;No sponsorship
available.&quot;  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.
