You are dead wrong when you say:

“Employers already have to show that no native-born Americans are available for the positions.”

That is not true. Without the TARP restriction the H-1B rule is:

“H-1B workers may be hired even when a qualified U.S. worker wants the job, and a U.S. worker can be displaced from the job in favor of the foreign worker.”


See Department of Labor publication at http://www.dol.gov/_sec/stratplan/strat_plan_2006-2011.pdf (page 36 second paragraph)

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) puts it this way:

"What many of us have come to understand is that these H-1B visas are not being used to supplement the American workforce where we have shortages but, rather, H-1B visas are being used to replace American workers with lower cost foreign workers."


The H-1B is a license to steal an American Job.
