The Myth of H-1B Job Creation

By Michelle Malkin

11/12/2015

Every day brings new headlines, ignored by the Washington press corps, of U.S. workers losing their livelihoods to cheap H-1B visa replacements.

Just this week, Computerworld reported: "Fury and fear in Ohio as IT jobs go to India."

Yet, it remains an article of faith among Big Business flacks and Beltway hacks that H-1B not only protects American jobs, but also fuels miraculous job growth.

The myths are recycled and regurgitated by the likes of Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who claims that "foreign-born STEM workers complement the American workforce, they don’t take American jobs."

Bill Gates, citing the National Foundation for American Policy, which is run by one-man Beltway advocacy research shop operative Stuart Anderson, testified before Congress that "a recent study shows for every H-1B holder that technology companies hire, five additional jobs are created around that person."

Citing another NFAP study by economics professor Madeline Zavodny is the author of Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores.
