Paying H1-B less than prevailing wage is illegal/fraudulent. However, there are many legal tricks to get around it.

if you know them, make them public, push them to be illegal. Also, I'm curious to know what those "tricks" are.
I'm not referring to a deep secret. This is well documented. Just search the Internet for H1-B "prevailing wage" loophole and you'll find some.

(Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but it is quite nuanced and I don't remember the details).

Convenient.

It’s both obvious and not at the same time, how does that work?

> It’s both obvious

Can you please show me how it's obvious?

wait, YOU said that it's obvious

your words:

> I'm not referring to a deep secret. This is well documented. Just search the Internet for H1-B "prevailing wage" loophole and you'll find some.

and in the next sentence you seem to imply that it is not obvious, again your words:

> but it is quite nuanced and I don't remember the details

> wait, YOU said that it's obvious

Nowhere did I say it. Definitely not in this statement:

> I'm not referring to a deep secret. This is well documented. Just search the Internet for H1-B "prevailing wage" loophole and you'll find some.

I suggest that if you want to have a fruitful discussion, you not put words into people's mouths.
