Reply #19: Most unemployed programmers would happily

[undeterred]

take the job at 60K rather than have no job at all. They aren't given that choice. In 2001, while there were thousands of unemployed computer programmers looking for work, they were bypassed completely by foreigners brought over on these visas. Almost everyone in the computer industry took a cut in pay if they had a job.

The corporations said they could not find Americans to take these jobs, and that is a lie. The positions were never even advertised, never interviewed for, turned down by no one.
