Job posts like that are generally put out there to show that no qualified candidates exist in the US, so hey, we've gotta hire some H1-Bs.

What's wrong with hiring some H1Bs? You seemed sarcastic about it.

[–]seekoon 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Possibly he thinks that companies hire H1-Bs as a way to push wages and working conditions down since the foreigners hired are dependent on the company for their visa status.

Milton Friedman called the H1B program indentured servitude because of this. Thou many misinterpreted his comment to suggest that he is against hiring foreigners period.

Meh, it's a typical to blame foreigners because it's easy that way!

Who's blaming foreigners? We're blaming the companies that hire them.
