I assume these H1-B visa workers are getting paid less than comparable American workers? After searching, there seems to have been lawsuits alleging such.

My point is, I see no difference between a contractor building houses hiring Mexicans or Bill Gates hiring geniuses from India. If they work and pay taxes, I don't see a problem.

I have a problem with H1-B visas being restricted to "educated/skilled" workers.

re: The thing is, I'm all for legal immigration, and that includes H1-B visas. It might be similar to the whole migrant worker thing, but at least H1-B visas are more enforceable, while the migrant worker issue is being used to placate the open borders crowd.

So the "the migrant worker issue is being used to placate the open borders crowd" is a phantom problem?

Thanks for the info.
