  1. H-1B as a remedy for labor shortages and as a means of hiring "the best and the brightest" from around the world

    strongly support), the vast majority are ordinary people doing ordinary work. Instead of being about talent, H-1B is about cheap labor.

    H-1B visa holders may only work for sponsoring employers after approval by the Departments of Labor and Homeland Security.

    Although most of the non-compliant H-1B workers had posted wages from employers in fields associated with technical or

    specialty occupations, the report noted that one H-1B worker had earnings from a restaurant and janitorial service.
