proof? well how would you like me to prove it. I was working as a consultant for companies like large retailers where the only employees on staff were H1-B's. Everyone else was consulting for twice the pay. SO theoretically maybe the H1-B's weren't being discriminated against from a salary perspective, but in real terms they were. This is common knowledge it isn't like I'm coming out in left field with this.

H-1B...earned same salary as US counterpart That certainly wasn't the case at a Sili Valley call-center mfg co. I had as a client -- their software group of 300 was 40% Indian, and when you looked at specific tasks about 30% less ($30/hr instead of $45/hr), at least their paycheck... maybe their agency got the same as US agencies. They all came through an Indian agency, and all talked about bringing over their girlfriends to get married and settle down in Calif ! Hell of excited to be here, and it was contagious. I don't know what's happened since the downturn, tho'
