  2. Oh yes they do, and don't forget all of those who got in "under the radar"....and the other "alphabet soup" programs, L1, etc.
    And this has been going on for over 10 years....or more.
    So that brings it up to about a million in my estimation.

    Probably right

    Not much sense and profit in bringing in a new H1B's to replace an old H1B's (unless the old one get greencards/ citizenship and lose their slave status.)

    Most US citizens have already been replaced by cheap Indian labor and the new kids are smart enough to know not to go to college for an IT/engineering degree

    You have a strong point. Assuming most H1-B visa holders are from countries like India or China, which don't allow dual nationality, they are reluctant to apply for US citizenship (as they would have to give up their first nationality).

    For those who want to return on holiday to India or retire there, I believe there is a visa program for former nationals which gives a visa without expiry date... though I don't know if this such a visa allows working or running a business in India.

    Yeah, the American workers are all superior to all other countries' workers, especially Lithuanian.
    How on earth does Lithuania survive, being that all the workers are incompetent?
    If you're a second, third or fourth generation American, you have a right to discriminate? Where is the line drawn? Can third generation Americans discriminate second generation Americans?
    Some of you seem to be completely clueless about your own history.

    Lithuania is a major transport and trade hub on the way of Russian oil and aluminium to Europe. So, if, hypothetically, all the locals were indeed incompetent the country would still survive and prosper purely due to its geographic location.

  10. There is a history of the US worker being pitted against foreign labor. This goes back for a long time and there is a pattern of historical exploitation of the citizen by the corporation and foreign workers from distant lands. During the Irish potato famine to other European upheavals, wars and disasters, the US was open to immigrants and welcomed foreign workers whom she could use against the more entrenched and comfortable local citizen. The foreigners were used as strike busters, they worked cheaper, complained less. As Europe managed to gain in living standards and labor laws, less and less unskilled workers strives to come to the USA. This was not of course true to highly skilled specialists. The scummy H1B system is only the extension of this policy. The citizenship of the USA is worthless piece of paper in terms of labor protection against hoards of foreigners.
    We as US citizens are in "open season" from the illegal Mexican as well as the skilled Indian worker. As for US being uneducated or unwilling to work; there is an element of truth to that but since the law does not require to protect the tax paying citizen (a fucking treason - only in the USA) we shall never know of to each curry breath, h1b the hiring agency could find a qualified US citizen. As to the idiots claiming I do not know what I am saying,
    I have worked in IT for over 25 years in the USA. I am foreign born and I know US history, unlike many dummies posting here.
