Well, that's a bold, unfounded claim. Let me see some citations, then.
Unfortunately, practices of companies like Disney and others shed a really bad light on the intention of the H1B program. That's like saying that all non-profits are evil because some non-profits game the system.
> If the people using h1-bs to work in the US cannot handle the facts about what they are doing, maybe they shouldn't come to the US on those visas then?
Don't place the blame on the people who want to progress using legal circumstances. Also, remember that if a shady company games the system which in turn affects American workers, there is a good chance that those same shady companies are also hurting those who are brought with the program, through exploitation and firing threats.

null | Polantaris | null | > But where i work now we don't do that and we do coding tests for every interview while we're right next to them.
Yeah, same. We did phone interviews for a while but I realized that it's the worst idea ever. These people are cheaters and liars. They will have someone else on the phone who studied the "applicant's" resume to appear to be them, and they'll also give the applicants cheat sheets (especially if multiple people came from the same company) to answer questions.
Every interview has to mix up questions and has to do legitimate code tests, or you're going to get duped. In the end it doesn't really hurt the companies that broadcast these people and that's why they do it. If TCS sells a company 5 people, and 4 of them are fakes, TCS ultimately doesn't get in trouble, those 4 people just lose their jobs (and possibly their careers), but there's no blowback on TCS other than maybe that company won't deal with them anymore but they probably still will as TCS gets approved at the corporate level to be a contractor for the company. | null | 0 | 1491265662 | False | 0 | dfsmav5 | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfryqig | null | 1493772726 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | darwin_wins | null | As much as I agree that there needs to be a change in immigration system, all you people jumping on h1 and saying how it is good and now Americans can get all the jobs back don't really understand that just because these can't hire doesn't mean they won't find a way around this. After all these are businesses and they know how to keep making money. No corporation in US wants to pay to dollar all the times, that's just the nature of their business. They want more money in their pockets.
Another thing people forget when they complain about people sending money home forget, these h1 workers also pay medicare, social security which they never get back on case they have to go back because the company doesn't pay for green card. So US government has made this money for a long time and temporary immigrants have lost that money. So before jumping on the bandwagon of how this rule is good, remember companies will find candidates in other countries and not bother with visa all the times. Just because they can't deal with visa anymore doesn't mean they will give someone more money here

Not to mention all the other labor rules that made it very expensive to fire underperforming Belgians. Meanwhile, during the time I was there, we had a dev that couldn't cut it and was let go after 5 months. He was given two weeks severance.

null | nyrol | null | Canadians can apply for an H-1B, but due to the lottery system, and the length of time for processing, they should at least start on a TN-1 status. Canadians don't need a visa for entry to the US, but they do need a status that permits work authorization such as a TN-1 or H-1B. TN-1 processing time is an hour or two, depending on how long the interview goes for with the CBP officer. H-1B processing time is 4-6 months, and that's if you get selected in the lottery of 65k winners (+20k Master's degree holders). TN-1 status can be renewed indefinitely, but an H-1B can only be renewed for a maximum of 6 years unless your status can be adjusted (e.g. a pending green card) | null | 0 | 1491267209 | False | 0 | dfsnk3g | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsjn0k | null | 1493773385 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Engineering didn't become this magical high earning field overnight. It has always been a good earning, high demand degree. Yet, there is no significant differences in people flocking to engineering 40 years ago and I don't see that changing significantly today or in the near future ( 15-20 percent).
The decisions you make when you young play a large role in your future (don't be pedantic i know there are exceptions to the rule) even though the same people that make these decisions don't think it does (or should). The people that are field chasing made poor choices a long time ago and now they are eating it. The people that went into less lucrative careers knew what they were getting into even 30 years ago (which is basically an entire career at this point) so it shouldn't be a surprise at this point. | null | 1 | 1491267641 | False | 0 | dfsnx2b | t3_638rgm | null | null | t1_dfskf8z | null | 1493773567 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | grajek | null | I'm gonna guess you don't work in IT do you? I personally know people at Disney who are extremely dedicated and talented who got canned for no reason other than profit. They were replaced by foreigners who were paid less than half they were, and knew nothing about the positions they were filling, which is why the ones getting fired had to train them for months, and Disney held their outgoing employees hostage by threatening to cancel their severances unless they trained their replacements. The non-irony here is that Disney recently hired an Indian who previously headed up foreign consulting firms as one of their IT VPs. Convenient, eh? Once all this shady crap got publicity at the national level and though hearings in Congress, Disney stopped abusing the H-1B program. Shocking, right?

The saddest thing I ever saw on the internet, was a story on reddit of a guy who knew he was having a heart attack, and decided to stay home and "rough it out" because he knew that his family would lose everything including the house if he went to the E.R and got treatment for a heart attack (and survived and got a week of "intensive care").
The comments were downright depressing. "You should have had a friend drive you a few blocks away, then give him your wallet and call for an ambulance."
