That pretty much never happens unless you are on your own..The body shops take advantage of this, but be to a larger extent..

If you work for Microsoft and make a reasonable tech salary, you make the equivalent of $100/hr or perhaps a little more if you're actually in their WA office. Same with Facebook.

new study released by the Center of Immigration Studies shows that both legal and illegal immigration increased 39% between 2014-2015. More than 3 million immigrants settled in the U.S. in the last 2 years, this rate is now higher than the pre-recession levels of 2007.

The study estimates that out of the 3.1 million new immigrants to enter the U.S. in the last two years, 1.1 million (550,000 annually) were new illegal aliens while the other 2 million were new legal immigrants (both temporary and permanent). The numbers are based on Census Bureau data and does not account for immigrants that may have been missed by the Bureau.

The major findings of the study include:

• The data shows that 3.1 million new immigrants (legal and illegal) settled in the country in 2014 and 2015, or more than 1.5 million annually.

• This is a huge increase from previous years. In 2012 and 2013, 2.3 million immigrants arrived (about 1.1 million annually) and from 2010 and 2011, 2.1 million new immigrants arrived (around 1 million annually).

• New illegal aliens increased from 700,000 (350,000 annually) from 2012 and 2013 to 1.1 million (or 550,000 annually) in 2014 and 2015.

• New legal immigrants, both temporary and permanent, have increased around 30% from 1.6 million in 2012-2013 to 2 million in 2014-2015.

This immigration increase can be attributed to lack of interior enforcement, the Obama administration’s catch and release policy for border apprehensions, and an increase in temporary worker visas passed by Congress in last year’s omnibus bill.

Not Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party she loves illegal immigration, and doesn't want to "break up families" = i.e no deportation, give them a pathway to citizenship so they can vote Democrat.

H-1B visas are designed to bring foreign professionals with college degrees and specialized
skills to fill jobs when qualified Americans cannot be found. But in recent years, global
outsourcing companies have dominated the program, winning tens of thousands of visas
and squeezing out many American companies, including smaller start-ups.

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...isas.html?_r=0

Congress set a limit of 85,000 visas annually, and more than 10,000 companies applied in 2014. But just 20 companies received more than 32,000 visas, according to Ronil Hira, a professor at Howard University who studies visa programs and analyzed federal H-1B data. The top 20 included several large outsourcing firms that provided temporary workers for businesses like Disney and Toys “R” Us.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services approves the visas on a first-come-first-served basis, beginning each year on April 1. Federal officials allow only one application for each foreign worker, but companies can submit an unlimited number of applications for their employees, so global outsourcing giants can, and do, submit many requests.

H-1B visas are granted by a computer-run lottery if the number of applications exceeds the annual quota in the first week, which has happened in recent years.
To prepare an H-1B visa application, employers must first submit a public document, known as a labor condition application, to the Department of Labor. Companies can apply for more than one employee based on one labor condition application, and many outsourcing firms use one application to apply for 10 or more workers. The more labor condition applications a company gets approved, the more H-1B applications it can submit.
Because H-1B visa applications are not public record, the labor condition applications are an indicator of how many applications a company intends to file.

Since 2011, as the American economy returned to growth, there has been a spike in the number of H-1B visas granted to outsourcing companies. Some companies are receiving at least four times as many visas as they did just a few years ago.

Under federal rules, employers like TCS, Infosys and Wipro that have large numbers of H-1B workers in the United States are required to declare that they will not displace American workers. But the companies are exempt from that requirement if the H-1B workers are paid at least $60,000 a year. H-1B workers at outsourcing firms often receive wages at or slightly above $60,000, below what skilled American technology professionals tend to earn, so those firms can offer services to American companies at a lower cost, undercutting American workers.


The top outsourcing firms primarily bring temporary workers from India. American companies like Microsoft, Google and Apple have drawn from a wider range of countries, including China and Canada, for their H-1B workers. But in 2014, 70 percent of the H-1B visas went to workers from India, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Notes: IBM and Deloitte cross two categories: United States-based companies and United States-based outsourcers, but they are categorized based on the primary functions of the parent companies. IBM, for example, includes IBM India, a wholly owned subsidiary of IBM Corporation that takes a bulk of the company’s H-1B visas. iGate was purchased by Capgemini in 2014.

A must see video for every American who cares about the future of our country. Thousands of Americans are losing their jobs everyday to foreign guest workers who are replacing American workers for the sake of corporations saving money, but at what cost?
I found this video on another channel, but it has had very few hits over the past few years which is a shame because it needs to be seen. The videos on the channel cover a wide range of interesting subjects that are pertinent to current events; Please check it out:

Ha. I met an attorney who fights to stop
deportation of illegals......
I had to stifle my reaction as she bragged...
The fact is, the foreigners are the happiest
people I see.
No wonder why.

just posted a news report in the austin forum. Seems that this is only getting worst. They claim it is to fill the void, when in fact its just to keep from paying a living wage to the those that earn it. Big business owners ONLY care about there pocket books than those that help made the company what it is. With out proper people, your business would suck. Number one reason why comcast cust services sucks, as nobody speaks english fluently.
