Comment It's all about justifying H1B visas. (Score 1) 292
If they create a BS requirement that no one can meet unless they lie, they won't find a local to fill the job and can then go shopping for an H1B candidate. If a local candidate lies, they'll call him on it and use it as a reason not to hire. If an H1B candidate lies, they'll let it go and hire him/her anyway because they then have a slave that can be worked for 80 hours per week and is unable to do anything about it.
It's all about driving the pay downward. The guys at the top won't be happy until they have it all.
