oh you h1b bashers, why don't you stop selling your chips outside your country, and we'll stop taking your jobs. Making a processor isn't rocket science anymore.
The H-1B employer cost discount has varied by firm, occupation, time, place of work.
The VP of one India-based cross-border bodyshopping and off-shoring outfit claimed the guest-workers from India were about 35% cheaper than employing US citizens in the US.
IT guy, lawyer, and author John Miano pegged it in the neighborhood of 12%.
CS professor and statistician Norm Matloff estimates were about the same, as I recall.
The article mentioned that certain rules were waived if salary was at least $60k. The thing is that, to afford a starter home in Silicon Valley, you have to be bringing in over $125k per year.

BK will say and do anything to pacify the SJW mob at Intel. He'll never stand up to anybody or anything due to his lack of spine. Free speech is a virus to them.

H1b' s are still coming in, take jobs away from the U.S. educated students. This country is placing a large amount of effort to produce STEM students. This is to make the students produced ready for the jobs like Intel and not having to use the H1b's. True the STEM programs are not cranking out thr STEM students right know but we will see the results this next year. Hire American, leave the H1b's in there native countries.

Fire the older immigrants who have gained green card and citizenship and hire the new you cheap immigrants is the BK way!
@OPLPLHp-pwr you are so full of sh--. They are paid well...don't believe the government or media lies.
All H1bs should be canceled immediately. All senators who refuse to support a bill to stop this should be thrown in jail for treason. Enough is enough
Salaries for foreigners is 80% less than salaries on US, so yes, BK doesn't care neither foreigners and US citiziens
I, for one, am shocked
