183. You would lose. It is because they are, for all intents and purposes, slaves.
They cannot complain, no matter how they are treated, if they lose their job/sponsor they are shipped back to where they came from but they will still owe whatever fee the "agency" charged to get them here. There are mountains of testimony from H-1(b) workers having to work 20 - 40 hours a week without pay, being housed in tiny studio apartments with as many as 20 other people, having up to half of the wages they are paid stolen from them by their "sponsors" or "agents", etc. This was the whole reason for the H-1(b)/L-1 visa programs to be implemented. Thanks Bill.

Nothing new really, you can look at what has been done in similar cases going back all the way back to the "gilded age". The same families, the same companies, the same game, over and over and over...

All so that billionaires can steal more billions.
