Shortage of HiTech Workers in USA?

High Tech Workers Unavailable in USA? …. Here’s a legal team describing the techniques to ensure they comply fully with the law, yet don’t select a US worker who is qualified. This lets them get a cheaper, H-1b visa worker.

Summary from youtube:
Immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby explains how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and the steps they go through to disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers. See what Bush and Congress really mean by a "shortage of skilled U.S. workers." Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week.

Many of my friends started here on H-1b visas … my beef, isn’t with the workers from foreign countries, rather, it is with the employers and our elected representatives who tweak the system to allow these abuses.

Lou Dobbs did a story on this too.
