they sign a contract for 3 years service, that can be renewed once...the employer pays the airfare to and fro, not certain if they would fly them home if they quit before 3 years?well, they are a form of indentured servants....they cant work for anyone else but the company that imported themYOU introduced salary slavery into the thread yourself. Its a good point and one worth looking at for more then one reason.Why change the subject of my post? DO YOU have anything to say on Trump's plans on how he would handle it?Now that is interesting. So Bill Gates who also uses that and in fact asked for MORE is promoting SLAVERY. And he just happens to be a democrat.Here is how Mr. Trump proposes on how to reduce HB1 visas, from YOUR article:
Since then, political outsider Donald Trump has put himself on track to the GOP’s 2016 nomination by promising to reform the nation’s immigration and guest worker systems to help Americans.
For example, he has said he would reduce the inflow of H-1Bs by raising the minimum wage for H-1B workers, and has called for one year “pause” in legal immigration.
Odium, that doesn't sound like he'll accomplish or do anything worth while to stop the flow....
So your Messiah, on this is weak, weak, weak...
Most foreign workers get hired on HB1's, not so much that they pay them less when hired, but because these workers are indebted to the employer that hired them and can not compete in the market place.....in other words, they can't quit, they are basically paid slaves....for 6 years each.
Well, not quite. They can quit and go home whenever they want - and they also have a choice in taking the job in the first place.
But I do agree that there are many issues with H-B1s.
My point was though, is that it's not like these employees have bargaining power of any kind to negotiate a higher salary during those 3 years....they can't say, I'm going to work for so and so's company who will pay me $5 more an hour than you, if you want my skills and what I've brought to you/the company, you are going to need to pay me more.... kind of thing.
