That's total BS by the employer. They send their scallops to Thailand
because wages are lower and there's no oversight, so they can treat
their workers like slaves. Employers use the same type of BS line
about no skilled workers here too (take engineers), so they can apply
for H-1B. They can't attract US citizens at the pitiful amount they
pay foreigners from India... because our standard of living is higher
and therefore more costly. http://www.myvisajobs.com/H1B_Visa.aspx.
