[quote=lifeisgood] I do blame any company that goes through the motions of interviewing qualified Americans just to hire someone out of country to pay them less. By the way, so no one gets their panties in a bunch, I know and understand that H1-B’s are compensated well. I’m sure that it’s not as high as skilled workers in their positions would be making had the program not existed. If the companies didn’t benefit financially, then what’s the point. No will ever lead me to believe that we don’t have enough highly intelligient American citizens to pick from.

No question that engineers will be making more if H1-B program did not exist. It is a simple demand & supply equation.
The companies are obviously benefiting financially with H1-B, at the cost of intelligent americans who will not work for the wages offered by these un-american companies. Even your elected representatives are in their pocket i.e. un-american.
The shareholders of these companies always demand higher value for a lower operating expense… but never demand that these companies hire intelligent americans… they are un-american too.
Since you said this will affect your vote, why don’t you check the record of your representative in either house on this issue?
Since you so strongly “believe”, you could vote with your wallet too by not investing in such companies.
