Is it any wonder big money tech moguls like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Marissa Mayer, and Eric Schmidt all want to import more H1B workers? Imported workers can be paid less, they demand less from their employer, and are tethered to the firm that recruits them, thus safe from being lured away by competitors. The problem, and this is one the folks at the top could care less about, is that every job taken by an H1B worker is a job not available to an unemployed American. H1B is a great program for India and some American multinationals, not so much for unemployed American engineers.
