Myth: Companies must layoff H-1B temporary workers before American citizens. Companies cannot hire an H-1B if they just laid off American workers that performed the same job. Truth: There is nothing concrete in the H-1B laws concerning the pecking order in a layoff situation. There is nothing to stop a company from hiring enough H-1Bs [...]

Companies continue to import foreigners at the same time they are laying-off Americans. Be American… Hire American! Replace H-1B Workers With Citizens! Myth: Hiring H-1B workers creates additional jobs for American workers. Truth: This is [...]
Get the Facts on H-1B. H-1B is one of many temporary nonimmigrant worker visa bills that allows companies in the United States to hire foreign workers.
May 4th, 2003 Our educational DVD provides information about the H-1B and L-1 visa programs and how they have negatively affected the American workforce. The first part of the DVD is a movie we created that tells about the H-1B visa fiasco. It is very powerful and effective in getting the message across. This is then followed by [...]

March 10th, 2003 Rebuttal from Norm Matloff Here are two articles from BusinessWeek which are reasonably good, except that once again they state falsely that employers must give Americans job priority over H-1Bs. Except for the tiny category of so-called “H-1B-dependent employers,” there is no such requirement for H-1B. However, Tata may well be such an employer, which [...]

High Tech College Grad Statistics
June 13th, 2002 Myth: American Colleges and Universities are not creating enough High-tech graduates. Truth: This argument is often used by those supporting H-1B. The truth is in the real numbers. Clearly, this argument does not add-up. American Colleges and Universities ARE creating enough High-tech graduates. Interestingly, companies reported that they would be hiring 25-30% fewer college graduates [...]

May 22nd, 2002 Myth: The H-1B fees paid by employers of H-1B’s are used to provide education programs that create more American High-tech workers. Truth: Those supporting H-1B often justify their position with this statement, and actually believe that these training programs help reduce America’s reliance on alien labor. Congressmen who claim that they would normally be opposed [...]
Wages: H-1B workers are paid less than American Workers
May 15th, 2002 Myth: H-1B workers are paid the same prevailing wage as American workers are. Truth: Congress hangs its hat on this myth as well. Although the law was written with this stipulation, the loopholes are rampant, and the law is not enforced. This is the underlying reason that companies love to hire H-1B programmers. Cheaper labor [...]
Why Care? Because replacing Americans in the workplace affects everyone
May 4th, 2002 Myth: H-1B workers do not affect me, why should I care? Consider the following: A country that relies upon a program rampant with fraud and deception to exploit foreign sources of cheap labor for a critical infrastructure puts itself at great risk.
