Some of us are really worried that the HlB visa is a way around taking your existing workforce and raising them up to the level that you need them. rather. go get somebody somewhere else who you can hire for $10.000. $20.000 less. do not have to pay for a pension. do not have to pay for health care or anything else and put them in the job rather than taking an existing worker. There is a lot of concern among many people who look at the workforce and say that the issue of retraining is one of the most fundamental issues to labor peace in this country. You cannot go and get somebody from somewhere else and stick them in a job when there is somebody standing there that could be trained to do that.
