Industry, Universities Hide Workforce of 100,000 Extra Foreign White-Collar H-1B Employees <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Industry executives and university advocates have successfully duped nearly every reporter<\/a>, editor and anchor nationwide about the scale and purpose of the H-1B professional outsourcing program.<\/p>\n

The journalists\u2013and Americans\u2014have been kept in the dark while universities and many allied name-brand companies have quietly imported an extra workforce of at least 100,000 lower-wage foreign professionals in place of higher-wage American graduates, above the supposed annual cap of 85,000 new H-1Bs.<\/p>\n

Less than one-sixth of these extra 100,000 outsourced hires are the so-called \u201chigh-tech\u201d computer experts that dominate media coverage of the contentious H-1B private-sector outsourcing debate.<\/p>\n

Instead, the universities\u2019 off-the-books H-1B hires include 21,754 professors, lecturers and instructors, 20,566 doctors, clinicians and therapists, 25,175 researchers, post-docs and biologists, plus 30,000 financial planners, p.r. experts, writers, editors, sports coaches, designers, accountants, economists, statisticians, lawyers, architects, computer experts and much else.<\/p>\n

These white-collar guest-workers are not immigrants \u2014 they are foreign professionals hired at low wages for six years to take outsourced, white-collar jobs in the United States. Many hope to stay in the United States, but most guest-workers return home after six years. The universities have zero legal obligation to recruit Americans for the jobs given to the foreign professionals. There\u2019s good evidence that the H-1B graduates cut payroll costs, and there\u2019s little or no evidence that they create additional jobs or file additional patents…” \u00a0\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
