If I may, the market determines your value. If another employer is willing to offer you more [money|vacation|benefits] then you may choose to switch employers. If someone is willing to offer your employer the same work for less [money|vacation|
benefits], then why shouldn't they? To turn it around, what value do you provide over those foreign workers to warrant paying you more? 

Now, we can start using words like "entitled", but that, in my opinion, is just to invoke emotions and cloud the real topic. 

Finally, I can say that we use H1B at my employer (a semiconductor company) and we struggle to find candidates (analog circuit design) H1B or otherwise. We rarely factor in the salary because we struggle to find qualified candidates regardless of salary.

just another perspective.

Hi,

While at the polls I talked with a man running for Chandler City Council who told me the H1B Visa was necessary because there are not enough qualified Americans to fill those positions.

I do not agree.  And if it is true then why, for example, is there no Microsoft University that finds those with the talent and help develop them into the qualified employee they are looking for?  It is my understanding M$ is one of the biggest users of the H1B Visa program.

This is an example of there not being an shortage.  -->>  McDonald's lays off 70 American accountants from Ohio and gives their jobs to foreign workers as part of cost-cutting exercise
