Many friends of mine have worked for such companies post 9/11 who don't even give 50% of actual wages. If the H1B holder threatens to complain, their H1B can be withdrawn,if they ask for full pay, they can be shown the door out of the country.

Ah.. I remember a company that actually went to the extent of "gimme money and I'll cut a check for you..." :-) The guy paid, got his two month's payslips, applied for H1B transfer and ran like crazy ...

We had to use a certain percentage of MBE companies, but every single contractor they sent us was an H1-B. EVERY LAST ONE. And it wasn't like they were charging US less for their staff; in fact, they had some of the highest rates of any of the contract agencies we used. I wonder who pocketed the difference?

I hire the fired H-1B folks at $1/day to write just a few lines of code. That keeps immigration off their backs and they are so appreciative they shower me with gifts later on.

It's a shame Americans are left out of jobs because of these. Companies are encouraged to cut cost, they're getting cheaper labor but that's not the real intent of H1 workers, is it?
