No. H1-B is just a subsidy to the wealthiest Americans. Besides, it turned out that the biggest abusers of the guest workers was Indian outsourcing companies. go figur. Sure, lots of fly by night venture caps think "If I could just hire cheap ...". What they don't seem to realize is there is no controls over capital flows.
