Which is worse: H1B Visa Holders or Illegal Immigrants.

29. I think this is not true!

You write "and H1B Visa Holders are destroying white-collar wages". To get an H1B visa, your employer has to provide documentation that no American who is better qualified applied for the job. At least that's how it was when we came here 11 years ago. The H1B program is excellent imo, because it gives employers the opportunity to hire highly skilled and educated people from abroad that they would otherwise not be able to get here. The real problem is that education in this country, especially in the sciences and math is so bad that not many Americans actually qualify e.g. for the Silicon Valley- or engineering jobs here. I have friends whose son is an engineer (Americans), and the son is the only American in is department at the engineering firm. Just one look at a college campus says it all: almost all master's students in the engineering programs are foreigners. I don't think the H1B program is the problem, the bad science and math education is actually the root of the evil here.
