content: the law also states that businesses can only hire foreign workers after they have attempted to find a qualified American worker first  This is flimsy at best.  All they have to do is interview a single person, say that no one applied, and call it a day and hire H1B.  They have to make no real attempt at filling the position, nor is there any checks to actually see if they tried.  This is why companies like Disne  e57  y simply tried to skip the "we tried" part and hire H1Bs directly.  The uproar came after the employees they were firing were told to train their clearly not qualified replacements.
