WRONG! I agree with most of the article, but this part is wrong: "Created in 1990, the H-1B program was designed for employers to import foreign H-1B workers to fill various high-tech jobs only when Americans could not be found, and the law was supposed to make it illegal for an employer to replace an American with an H-1B worker."
The H-1B never had such a provision. Such a provision would go against everything the H-1B stands for. The H-1B does not require that an American cannot be found. It is entirely okay to fire an American for no other reason than to replace him/her with a cheaper H-1B. Americans are forced to train their H-1B replacements all the time.
