""" Tech companies, Lewis said, "do not want to employ Americans. They import labor from overseas, pushing for H-1B visas. Check the job boards. They basically say, 'H-1B Visa. Americans need not apply.' """

Can anyone point to a few examples of this? I've never seen it.

They'll teach you how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified American applicants.
