Yeah, that's exactly how I feel when I see this sort of thing (HT Hyscience)
When we have legal firms actively looking for a way AROUND our employment laws so they don't have to hire qualified US citizens, something is very screwed up:
"Our goal here is to meet the requirements. But also to do so as inexpensively as possible. Keeping in mind our goal. Our goal is clearly NOT to find a qualified and interested US worker." - Lawrence M. Lebowitz, Vice President of Marketing, Cohen & Grigsby.
This sort of thing is natural when you take into account the wink-wink-nudge-nudge attitude our President and Congress are taking with illegal immigration and other immigration issues.
Watch that video! As Richard at Hyscience describes it,
...immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby explain how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and the steps they go through to disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers. You can see what Bush and Congress really mean by a "shortage of skilled U.S. workers," and that Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week for the purpose of screwing American workers out of jobs.
Blatant. Crass. OUTRAGEOUS!
This. Makes. Me. SICK!
As my dread Emperor might say, "Rope. Tree. Lawyers. Some assembly required."
*sigh* And I go home tomorrow from our lovely vacation, knowing I'm going to see this sort of crap.... GAH! Makes me want to pull the covers over my head and let the rest of the world go to hell in a handbasket....
