Thread: Fraud plagued H-1B visa program destroys American jobs

On the similar lines, there is this company called Corpus (www.corpus.com) based in Dallas, TX, which does something similar, but breaks laws on many levels. They were caught bribing senior executives at Verizon for getting contracts and filling them with unqualified H1B programmers from India.

Recently in a senate committee hearing regarding h-1b visas, bill gates kind’ve threatened the senators with pulling his (microsoft’s) business out of the states and relocate to other countries. He said there weren’t enough talented developers in the states. He says that with a straight face; he is shameful, how low can you go. He even opened a compound up in Canada.

A step by step process how Al-Queda can bring suicide bombers in US through the loopholes of H1B temporary worker visa program.

To top off the hypocrisy of all this is the involvement of the special interest groups such as the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). This group is part of an annual $100 Million Dollar industry that specializes in processing corporate immigration documents. In addition, seven of the major H-1B users are not even US corporations. They are East Indian Outsourcing Firms. These organizations bring in Indian workers, train them and then transfer the workers, jobs and the technology back to India. This supports a major loss of US industry infrastructure.

I am not surprised that fraud is rampant in the H1-B program. I am surprised that the INS was even capable of detecting this fraud. For once they did something right considering their normal operating efficiency both before and after 911. I suspect that they have only scratched the tip of the ice berg concerning this fraud issue.

The H1-B visa program is about Cheap Slave Labor.As such, it is a subsidy to the corporations who hire thesepeople and pay them half. Because of the large amounts of money involved, there isa considerable budget for lobbying and bribes.

There is no real shortage of American information technology workers. It's just that the large high-tech international companies want to turn these hard earned information technology skills into as cheap a labor commodity as possible at the American workers' expense. On March 12th Bill Gates appeared before Congress calling for an increase in H-1B visas. Two days later, without soliciting comments from any representatives of American IT workers, Congress introduced two bills that would double or triple the H-1B base cap. Why weren't the representatives of American IT workers allowed to be heard? Could the average of $25 million dollars a year that members of congress receive in bribes (I mean campaign contributions) from the Computer Equipment and Services Industry, have something to do with this? Here's some interesting campaign contribution statistics compiled by the Center for Responsible Politics at www.opensecrets.org that shows why congress may be so eager to support the requests of the Computer Equipment and Services Industry over the American IT workers.

Here's how much the high-tech industries have contributed to federal campaigns:

* 2000 - $38.9 million
* 2002 - $26.7 million
* 2004 - $29.0 million
* 2006 - $18.4 million
* 2008 - $15.5 million (partial)

What efforts do US employers make to verify the educational and professional credentials of H1B seekers from third world countries? There are no well-known accreditation systems of universities in those countries to figure out ranking of universities there. Many colleges there are notorious for giving degrees and other professional certificates by accepting bribes. Also, many of them not only tolerate but even encourage plagiarism during tests. Are these fraudsters the 'experts' on whom US economy depends so desperately?

Obama doesn't care. He still has plans to bring in millions of additional H1B visas using the recapture revision retroactive to 1991. He will legalize the millions illegally here who will bring their immediate and extended family members all competing for what few available jobs there are including any arising from the proposed stimulus which we know is a huge tax payer subsidized illegal alien jobs and benefits give away.
