    No, but it does allow abuse. I’ve worked at places where the h1-b wages were lower than market rate cause they can’t really leave (they can, but finding another sponsor isn’t easy or without risks).

      Well yeah, that comes with any sort of immigration setup.

        As someone who has worked outside of the US on an “immigrant visa”, I was paid normal wages and treated like a normal employee. I also could quit and look for any job I wanted. I don’t know anything about H1B, but substandard treatment definitely shouldn’t be expected just because you’re an immigrant.

          Because you are coming from a place that has a generly higher standard of living. If you get deported, you’re coming back to the US. There isn’t NEARLY as much risk.
