The worst H1-b visa story I've heard so far...

61. Yep! Many H-1B workers don't like the way this program works either...

They don't like the "indentured servant" conditions that they have to work on and dealing with the "guest houses" which I PERSONALLY witnessed when I lived in the bay area in the apartment right next door to me that is described in this report, and where they talk to an H-1B employee about what he doesn't like about it as well!

For those out there who say all of us who have problems with this program are just xenophobic in our wish to push out foreign workers, you really don't know us either.

I moved to the west coast from the midwest partially because I WANTED a more diverse community to work in. Some of my best friends are immigrants from places like India and Iran. I'm arguing against this program, because it works against them as much as it works against us to serve fattening the profits of the wealthy and powerful. We should all be for shutting down H-1B, H-2B, and other similar "guest worker" programs that gives employers the ability to hire people in the same way they would have hired undocumented workers without being criminally liable for doing so. But in addition, we should be looking to globally organize labor so that there is no "bottom" that the wealthy and powerful can race to to force slave labor conditions to their benefit and not pay attention to the welfare of the environment and the communities they have factories in. If we work together, we have a better chance of stopping this mess for the benefit of all!
