doesn't the law state that american workers cannot be displaced by workers with HB-1 visas? >> Correct. Just the same would hold for farm workers. << i believe the same problem would exist, which is the law doesn't get enforced. doesn't matter what kind of laws you have if they aren't enforced. >> As of now there are no lineups of Americans asking to pick up broccoli. If wages were higher there might be a larger pool, but that is irrelevant, << no it's not. >> if wages were (even) larger in programming I bet you would see a larger pool of American programmers. << the problem is not every american has the education or mental capacity to be a computer programmer. just about any american has the mental capacity to pick broccoli. so the comparison is not valid.
