There is a limit to the number of h1-B visas issued each year and it is usually filled for the year within just a few weeks. The greater threat is L-1 Visa workers. These are workers hired overseas and "transferred" to the U.S. to fill positions. There is no limit on L-1 visas. Temporary staffing companies like TATA in India, are setting up office in the U.S., filling contract positions at American Companies using "transferees" from India. They are NOT paid the same as Americans and often have to share an apartment with several other "transferees".
