Don't Believe in the H1B Immigration Problem? Read This!

Shortly after the H-1B cap was raised to 195,000 in 1999, over 100,000 American careers and lives were devastated.

Corporations were consistently hiring H-1B engineers to replace engineers who are U.S. citizens. The GAO report on the H-1B program revealed that it is rife with this type of abuse. The report also raised many homeland security issues.

Don't Believe in the Immigration H1B Problem? Read This!

The linked article is should be read by all Americans. It even has comments from people in the industry. This issue not only affects traditional engineers but Information Technology workers and many others.

The H1B program was started to add engineers and IT workers and others to america's labor pool when there was a shortage of workers in america to perform the jobs. When American's were available to perform the work of the H1B's the H1B's were to be sent home.

There are Americans available, qualified, and ready to do the work of the H1B's in America, but they have not been sent home. The H1B program was a temporary VISA for an alien to work in America for up to six years and never intended to be a path for American citizenship.
