>Wow! I had *no idea* that it was illegal to lay off a US citizen and replace them with an H1-B.

I'm no expert on H1-B but I think there might be some truth in it.

From what I understand, H1-Bs are issued only when the employer has demonstrated difficulty in finding a citizen or permanent resident to fill the same position. When the H1-B wants to get the greencard, the employer has to publicly post the H1-B's position to solicit citizen/permanent resident to apply for that position. It's only after the employer failed to fill that position could the H1-B qualify to apply for green card.

From my experience, there are lots of abuses with this process. In effort to keep the H1-B (who usually works much harder and endures more promotion/raise discriminations), the employer often exeggerated the H1-B's qualifications and responsibilities to make sure that no body ever wanted to apply for that job.

I'm sure if some lawyer is willing, he can easily make a class action lawsuit against any big IT coporations.
