Dan - you're pretty far off base here. The H1B requires the position to have been advertised for a specific period before the foreign visa can be approved. Anyone who can show that the position was offered at less than a "competitve wage" can take action against the company hiring the H1B employee. There may be a little wiggle room but not much. I have done some H1B hiring and I had to document the similar positions both in the company and in the industry at the proposed wage, and if anyone who did not require a visa applied for the position, we could not get the visa approved, no matter how well qualified the visa applicant was, or how poorly qualified the non-visa applicant was. Comparing a visa program to illegal hiring of undocumented migrant workers is pretty silly too.
