I'm agin H1B visas. There should be a training levy w/ or w/o
such visas. This is a fairly hot issue right now, with software
companies pushing for more visas.
The corps will demand more visas whether or not there are enough
available workers because it helps them to push compensation down
and make non-standard work arrangements more pervasive.
