It’s not about hate as much as it’s about profit. Why hire Americans when you can get cheap slave labor. Corporations have no country boundaries or allegiance.
The H1B1s are paid close to what US people are paid.
Not in my experience, often the H1Bs were paid only 75% of what I was getting at best, sometimes as low as 50%.
You were also getting less than what you would have, if they weren't in the country.
Wow...I didn't know it was that low. I guess it's better than living in the hellhole of India, beep beep beep. Always that stupid horns honking.
I was on a call this past week and there were 33 people on the call. Only seven of us are natural born Americans. It's shocking. We've been sold out.
