We don't have an H1-B problem.
We actually do, particularly in the IT industry, in which higher paid Americans are laid off and replaced by low-paid foreign nationals, often through third party overseas "staffing services," which take a cut of the money they make. Totally corrupt, and the Americans are often forced to train their foreign replacements just before lay-off, or else no severance. Like I said on the other thread, I have some friends who had to do exactly that.
It's been going on for nearly 30 years too:
H1B - H-1B Visa - 1995 report from 48 Hours and Dan Ratherhttps://rumble.com/v63nssd-h-1b-visa-1995-report-from-48-hours-and-dan-rather.htmlAnd this from 2015:
Southern California Edison IT workers ‘beyond furious’ over H-1B replacementshttps://www.computerworld.com/article/1628728/southern-california-edison-it-workers-beyond-furious-over-h-1b-replacements-2.htmlInformation technology workers at Southern California Edison (SCE) are being laid off and replaced by workers from India. Some employees are training their H-1B visa holding replacements, and many have already lost their jobs.
The employees are upset and say they can’t understand how H-1B guest workers can be used to replace them.
The IT organization’s “transition effort” is expected to result in about 400 layoffs, with “another 100 or so employees leaving voluntarily,” SCE said in a statement. The “transition,” which began in August, will be completed by the end of March, the company said.
“They are bringing in people with a couple of years’ experience to replace us and then we have to train them,” said one longtime IT worker. “It’s demoralizing and in a way I kind of felt betrayed by the company.”
SCE, Southern California’s largest utility, has confirmed the layoffs and the hiring of Infosys, based in Bangalore, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Mumbai. They are two of the largest users of H-1B visas.
But the problems are not mutually exclusive.
