Reply #53: Then why did our H1B people practically hit the floor when they found out what we were making?

Companies lie. There is a lot of leeway in the "prevailing wage" language, trust me.

There are many ways to get people over here - even where there is a qualified American who could easily fill the job - trust me on this.

Oh, and do you know what the company does to any H1B person who complains? 1) lays the person off - green card or no, they don't care or 2) simply reassigns them to the Asian division and finds another more compliant person to fill the job.

My company was a multi-billion dollar multinational - they broke the law many many times. People don't complain if they want to work again - big companies can black-list employees, making it virtually impossible for them to get a decent job in their profession ever again.
