Temp to Permanent: There’s periodic debate over the 120,000 foreigners annually awarded temporary H-1B visas, but almost no attention to the process by which many receive green cards.

Filled, Then Verified: Foreign workers are eligible for permanent residency only when no U.S. citizens can do the job — but companies confirm that after foreigners have been employed as temps.

Lost in Print: The law also requires that companies advertise these jobs in the classified ads of Sunday print newspapers, decreasing the chances that U.S. applicants see the listing.

All that stuff is old as dirt.

I remember my company going through all those hoops with their immigration lawyers to secure spots in the H-1B lottery in the most favorable states, and making up arguments to show that the H-1B slaves they were importing couldn't be found locally - which was absolute hogwash 99.9% of the time - all the way back in the 90's.
