Law firms have openly admitted to advising businesses in this kind of fraud!

http://www.post-gazette.com/business/businessnews/2007/06/21...

"Our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker, and, you know, that in a sense that sounds funny, but it's what we're trying to do here. We are complying with the law, fully, but our objective is to get this person a greencard.... Certainly we are not going to try to find a place where [American] applicants would be most numerous.... if necessary schedule an interview, go through the whole process to find a legal basis to disqualify [the American applicant] for this particular position."

  "Our goal is clearly not to find a qualified
  and interested U.S. worker..."
This video is a smoking gun, with respect to this firm and its clients, at least. Everyone interested in the topic should watch this. (Has anybody composed a transcript?)

Note the strategy laid out starting around 3:30:

"(have US applicants go through the motions) to find a legal basis to DISQUALIFY them... in most cases, this doesn't seem to be a problem."

You gotta wonder... What percent of the job ads out there are real? How many man hours have real job seekers spent applying for job ads that are 100% FAKE? What's the toll on these real job seekers?
