I don't know what controls are in place to enforce the law. But I would
think that someone tooting his horn about cheap foreign workers is asking
for trouble. Perhaps, you should show the article to the INS or the
appropriate agency to put these guys out of business. Not only are they
exploiting the system and the American people but exploiting the foreign
workers as well.

H-1Bs are not paid at market rate even though it is federal law.
In Clearwater, FL there is a company that recruits only H-1Bs from other
countries.
One of their salesman was being interviewed by the local newspaper, St
Petersburg Times, and he was naming off the advantages of hiring foreign
workers, and I quote, "We just placed one man in Boston for $55k/yr if it
had been an American they would have had to pay $85K/yr".
I keep wondering about that level playing field George Bush Sr was always
talking about.
Like the man said...The H-1B program is a fraud.
