There is a fair chance a new H1B visa worker is paid 10-20% below the market rate but after 3-4 years of work in the US, they get paid exactly the same as their American counterparts.
Yes, that's right. Through many of these corrupt agencies that brought immigrants here. Workers do not get paid directly. Companies pay these agencies directly since they sponsor the H1B1 worker to be here and they pay the workers much less than what the hiring company pays.

Yes, if you are talking about companies creating hubs far away from the HQ for back-office work, that is true, but that is for all back-office workers (i.e. HR, IT, accounting, payroll, operations), not just for immigrants.
Again, these immigrants are brought over here by the hiring agencies that applied for their work visas. They get a stipend for living expenses and are paid much less than Americans. When their work visas expires they are rotated out and new replacements are brought in. So, there is a revolving door for them too.

This does not include immigrants over-staying on tourist visas as many employment agencies retains positions within a company and constantly rotate workers. Once their tourist visa expires, they are taken off site and they assign new worker to the job site for the same positions.

As an IT Security consultant, I review account changes every month and I've seen immigrant workers being on-boarded and off-boarded almost weekly and they are simply rotating people for the same positions.

I am reporting directly what I've seen and know Americans who are displaced by immigrant workers.

Meaning, what, exactly? That we should roll over, play dead and wave the white flag of surrender when it comes to illegals? Should we just throw open the borders? Are you saying that you are okay when it comes to Americans either seeing their wages depressed or being displaced by illegals? Besides, if your comment was referencing Hispanics, there is no such race as Hispanic. Hispanics range from dark-skinned blacks to fair-skinned blonde-haired and blue-eyed.

Or, are you saying that Americans should give up trying for those jobs and just cede them to illegals? If so, what do you expect those Americans to do for a living?

Not true. H1B visa workers can switch jobs as often as they want. Know tens of them who changed jobs after every assignment to get a better rate. Switching H1B from one employer to another is a piece of cake. The only time they have to stick to one employer is when they apply for a Green Card - which doesn't happen until they have already been on H1B for at least 3-4 years.

What do you mean by corrupt agencies?

Anyway, I understand the body shopper model but you need to understand that it does not mean it is cheaper for a corporation to hire a H1B worker as a contractor. The corporation pays the same competitive market rate to a vendor, irrespective of the fact if the worker is on H1B or an American. The H1B worker may get paid less than his/her equivalent American, but the difference is shared between the vendor and multi-layer of employment agencies.

Unless the whole department or function is outsourced, when a corporation puts out a job posting to its vendors, they are indifferent to who the vendor provides - a legal immigrant on a work visa, or an American.

Immigrants on tourist visa? You mean illegal immigrants overstaying? Well, in any case, an illegal immigrant or someone on a tourist visa will find it very difficult to find a white-collar IT job in a corporate environment because they do have to go through employment checks or an e-verify system. And no matter how they revolve the workers weekly or monthly, the total allowed H1B visa per year is 65,000, so the rotation is most likely of the same batch of candidates.

H1B's have nominal salaries in range of what Americans would be paid. But the big difference is that they tend to work twice as many hours for that same money. So they effectively get half as much per hour. That's the real reason companies are willing to hire them. For a manager to work his way up the corporate ranks, he needs to be a manager of a lot of workers. It's easier for him to convince his boss to allocate funds for hiring more H1B's because bosses see them as a bargain because they tend to work twice as many hours for the same money. It doesn't really matter if they have the skills they claim to have, because they aren't really hired for their skills, but more to make it easier for managers to work their way up. Middle and upper managers usually don't have the skills to be able to analyze how cost-effective the workers are, so they just look at how many hours they work per amount of pay.

I disagree. The H1B program is mostly getting a constant flow of cheaper workers. There are workers already on US soil willing and able (with proper skills and education) to do the same job, but not for the low pay that the H1B are willing to work for. Most H1Bs will work for cheaper because they want to get their feet on US soil long enough to get a green card so they can stay forever(can't blame them, really).

It's all about companies wanting to pay lower wages. It has nothing to do with a low supply of skilled workers. This is the smoke and mirrors lie that has been told over and over - probably a lie started by lobbyists hired by the companies that make major profits by bringing in cheaper labor. Anyone that repeats this lie has been snowed long enough that they believe it. It's BS.

It's easy to "prove" they actually get the same pay as American workers, because they tend to be salaried, not hourly. If they have the same salaries, how can we complain they provide lower-cost labor? But they do it by working twice as many hours for the same money. Salaried employees aren't paid by the hour, so it's an easy way to disguise their actual cost per hour.

It's a lot more than that. That is the yearly allotment for new H1Bs. Once they arrive they usually stay for 6 years but are only counted the 1st year. Then they get their green card and stay forever.

But there are many additional IT workers coming in on visas that are different than H1B.

Do some google searches to get the actual counts. It was over 800k last time I researched a few months ago. This is over 800k on visa. Once they get their green card they are not counted and are equivalent to US workers as far as available to get most jobs.
