content: You should learn more about the h1-b visa program. That program is  driving tech jobs overseas.  If employers were forced to pay a fair wage to H1-b visa holders they may think about hiring American citizens instead. As it stands now employers can pay h1-b visa workers significantly lower wage than an american citizen. And when the visa expires the employee takes his/her skills back to their home country and contributes to tech outsourcing.  Typical of the Voat comments though, IB4 the racists.
