Comment Re:Well duh. The H1-B visa expansion is also expir (Score 1) 361
cheap does not always mean bad. similarly expensive does not always mean good.
most the h1b's have not gone home after their visa has expired. they have gotten their green cards and are working here in US - yours truly included. A lot of them have and still going back because there is more interesting work being done overseas now.
what has happened is that the talentless and expensive workers ( US and non-US workers) who got into IT because it was good paying during the boom are no longer thankfully in the IT field as a result of all layoffs. they have moved to other more lucrative industries.
the people who are left are more experienced, skilled workers - H1B's , former H1B's and US workers included.
