So the new immigration bill would increase visas for high tech jobs. How will this help us again?

89. But the interest in unemployed Americans in finding jobs should be more highly considered

than the desire of employers to hire H1-B employees who can be counted on to disappear on a schedule.

The interest of a company in hiring an H1-B employee is not to be as highly valued as the interest of an American citizen in finding a job, making a living and no longer depending on unemployment insurance, not losing his home and perhaps his family.

The interest of the company in the H1-B employee's reliable schedule is trivial compared to the interest of the American employee and compared to our national interest in reducing unemployment.

Basically, from your post, it appears that what employers really like about H1-B employees is their sort of indentured servant status. The H1-B has no rights. That's is what employers like about them. They aren't "uppity" like American workers.

Hire Americans or just stop doing business in the US. That's the choice that I would give the H1-B employers. And I would add, by the way, don't expect Americans to buy your products or services if you don't want to buy our labor.
