2018 Prediction #5 — The H-1B visa problem will NOT go away

Cringely's latest:

"You see the point of this H-1B reform will be mainly to get rid of the Indian outsourcers so their H-1B slots can be used by American companies hiring directly. It’s for this reason that the Indian companies are hiring U.S. citizens as fast as they can. And the U.S. companies are preparing, too, by practicing all those techniques that will allow them to appear to seek qualified domestic candidates and yet not find them. Toward that end, for example, I’m hearing that one big company that rhymes with IBM is starting to use recruiters whose native language is not English. This is not to say that non-native speakers can’t learn wonderful English or be consummate H.R. professionals, but the track record of big companies that rhyme with IBM is not good in this area."

It is a fairly well-known "secret" loophole practice that U.S. companies post job position openings, collect resumes for them, then don't actually process/read them. Later they pretend "they couldn't find an American to fill that position", then file for an H1-B visa. This is no accident. This is one of the ways the visa system is being abused at the expense of American jobs.

"cheaper,faster,better' (one word really) which I remember when Aon outsourced IT. " Just make phone call, fix Windows problems." Painful.
