I think if you use H-1B for your company you should be denied from using any tax breaks when filing US taxes.

#12"Prince George's County Public Schools" Interesting to find one public school system on the list, out of the entire country (not that I had any expectations on who should be on the list, just that 1 school system out of 13K school districts in the entire country)
PG County school district shares a border with Washington, DC, which may be a reason why it got caught and other schools haven't yet. By that I mean, other schools may in fact be in violation, but investigators (who are likely in DC) heard about the practices going on right next door.

that seems like a very general rule for something that might have greater subtlety than, "lower pay for an non-citizen employee." curious about your rational here.

#14Mmmh, not being familiar with US immigration laws, I'm not sure I get everything. Is this about companies who illegally "import" foreign workers when they could have recruited US citizens ?

#15None of the largest body shops being present on the list is sad. The H-1B program is all too clearly abused by large "consulting" firms to drive down wages and mistreat visa holding employees under the threat of deportation.
I've often wondered - I know there are requirements for them to "post" those openings before they get the visa - if there is a way for "concerned citizens" to challenge them through the department of labor or something... we could make a website that would let professional engineers volunteer their spare time go down the list of WiPro's (or whatever the big offender companies are) visa requests and call BS on them.

It's not sad it represents the political reality of employment in the US. It basically shows that these people don't spent any or enough money lobbying the government and is a wake up call for them to become more politically involved.

The US is a nation of immigrants. As it stands now, H1-B is one of the few paths for technically-educated people to get lawful work and eventual permanent residence and citizenship in the US.
I don't think there's anything wrong with sponsoring an H1-B for a talented and qualified person who wants to live in the US. There's room, and there are jobs, and complaining about immigrants is just stupid.
That said, the H1-B gives companies way too much leverage over their workers. In a "restructuring" of my former employer (aka entering the drain-spiral) , the NYC office was closed and most people were offered the "opportunity" to relocate to Sacramento, or take severance. Not a single person relocated.... except the lone H1-B, who had a new baby and didn't feel like he had any choice because he could lose his visa otherwise. That kind of coercive force is a sign of a broken power dynamic, due to a broken law.

I completely agree, but it's having your cake and eating it too. I'm in full support of H-1B, but you shouldn't be allowed cheaper labor and also not pay taxes. I'd like to see one or the other, pay taxes and have lower labor, or employee Americans and get tax breaks.
