Slaves? H1Bs aren't that much better off. If you don't like the work you are doing or was treated badly by your manager, you can just say F this, I quit. For a H1B, they have to go through a lot crap to switch companies and do a transfer. So they don't have as much freedom as say you or me.
They probably work for less pay, because a citizen can just walk off to another company like that. H1Bs have much less mobility in general. Plus some companies won't hire a H1B because it takes too damn long to do a transfer.
On the bright side, if those companies want them bad enough, they can probably hire some expensive immigration lawyer to show how employee x is very valuable to the US and get him a green card or something.
And what is with this idea that if they get deported, some of you might get jobs? Doesn't talent count for anything anymore?
