Re James Fulford’s Blog: Hewlett-Packard Job Ads–They're Advertising For The Same People They Just Laid Off (Or Almost The Same)
A Reader Writes
I wouldn’t be surprised if those positions were already filled by cheaper foreigners.
I have seen this in the medical field.
The immigration lawyers put job ads in the paper for positions that are already filled by J-1 (I think) doctors trying to get a green card. In order to get a green card they have to prove they are filling a need.
Seems like a good place for some legislation to prevent fraud.
