The malice-aforethought intent, in my opinion, is to actually put American citizens out of work; I was laid off over two years ago from IBM and our jobs were offshored to India and Slovakia. Unemployed ever since, other than occasional contract and temp gigs, despite twenty years of solid IT experience across multiple hw and sw platforms, most recently RHEL and CentOS.
And the government is evidently in bed with the corporations who engage in this practice. Asking them to investigate is like unto asking the police to investigate one of their seemingly endless brutality and/or civil rights violations. "The petition is directed at U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and asks her to launch a formal investigation into the H-1B visa program." - See more at: http://insight.ieeeusa.org/insight/content/policy/255071#sthash.SWgEL8YT.dpuf Somehow I don't feel confident that the AG's office will lift a finger for us, other than the usual mealy-mouthed PR platitudes and corporate-written bromides. Meanwhile they keep telling us how hard it is to find qualified American workers to do these incredibly complex and intricate jobs.
