> Why is there an implicit assumption that the H1B visa program engenders fraud
I can offer this from personal observations:
- I work with many clearly talented foreigners such as Indians here on H1B
- But I've also seen entire floors of companies such as at Cisco and Ebay that are almost 100% Indian
- This appears to happen when management positions are attained by Indians who only hire more Indians and contract with Indian-based outsourcing companies
- The Indians in these companies are different than Indians who work at other companies that are not dominated by Indians, in that they tend to be of much more dubious ability. This leads me to believe that there is widespread fraud on the visa applications.
- I've heard of under the table dealings among the same people where positions at companies are sold for thousands of dollars.
All this leads me to be against the work visa program for spouses of H1B workers. I can easily imagine wives of Indians without skills creating fake resumes, and paying under the table to gain positions in Indian dominated departments. Almost guarantee this will be a widespread problem.
