Here's one example



"How Tech Giants Outsource Labor on U.S. Soil..



The H-1b visa was created in the early 1990s so US companies could hire foreign nationals with college degrees for up to six years of service. Foreigners began to apply en masse, and now, nearly two decades later, 600,000 are working in the country via the H-1b.



According to Gene A. Nelson, who wrote An American Scam: How Special Interests Undermine National Security with Endless ‘Techie’ Gluts, it was Microsoft founder Bill Gates who pushed and paid Washington the greatest to pass the H-1b visa law. Gates accomplished this by perpetuating a myth that America was facing a looming shortage of IT pros, scientists and engineers. Gates' myth, states Nelson, earned Microsoft an extra $73 billion in profits between 1991 to 2005. Nearly all Microsoft H-1bs are paid a salary that's far below the prevailing wage for their position and skill. Some critics estimate that out of the 600,000 H-1bs in the US, a third are being used by IT companies for cheap labor.



"The H-1b benefits many of the economic elite at the expense of the middle class," wrote Nelson. "The resultant labor gluts (caused by the H-1b) depresses wages and benefits, enhancing employer profitability."



According to the National Science Foundation, over 600,000 science and engineering degrees are granted annually by American universities. Yet the US produces only 120,000 science and engineering jobs per year, and much less of late. Now add those numbers to the annual influx of 85,000 H-1bs (the annual allowed cap) and the NSF believes half a million Americans are losing their jobs to cheap foreign technical labor, while another half million Americans waste their science and engineering degrees."
