The US economy added 255, 000 jobs in the month of July, 70,000 in Professional and Business Services (source: BLS July Report). The total number of H1B (not HB1) visas granted to temporary workers is 85,000 per annum. This is a minuscule fraction of the total number of jobs the US economy creates per year. You could fit all of them in a football stadium.

No, tech companies do not get any tax breaks for hiring temporary workers on an H1B visa. In fact, they have to pay a $4000 fee each time they file for such a visa, not including legal fees.

Talking about taxes; I pay around 24,500 in federal and state taxes along with $9180 in Medicaid and Social Security every year & I’m entitled to exactly $0 of social entitlements. Please explain to me how I’m getting a free ride?

In retrospect, you’re reply proves the larger point of this article: “Have a problem … don’t worry … just blame the immigrants!”
