The Four Non-Equal Evils of the H-1B System
By David North, December 29, 2016
Various messages over the last few of weeks have reminded me that there are four distinct, and non-equal, evils built into the H-1 program for foreign workers, two considerably more significant than the two others.
The first two are pretty obvious to all except the employers and their lobbyists:
Evil #1. The system lowers wages for workers where it operates, and denies jobs to perfectly well-qualified residents of the U.S. This is an evil by design.
Evil #2. The system allows many employers, such as the Indian outsourcing firms to discriminate on the multiple variables of gender, national origin, and age. This is an evil that the system tolerates.
Both of them are more important that the next two.
