You claim that H1B's:
1. can and should be used for entry level positions, because it is impossible to find entry level employees for programming
2. companies are completely unable to fill programming positions with US employees.
So lets investigate those claims then. Well, good place to start is probably looking at the top job titles of H1B visa holders.[1] Turns out the number 1 title by far, is 'Programmer Analyst' kinda vague, so lets try to dig in and see what that really is.
To do that, we can look for the top H1B visa employers[2] that appears to be Cognizant at 15,680 in 2015, followed by Infosys and TATA.
Well now that we know who the top employer of H1Bs is and what the top job title is, should be pretty easy to find an open position on their job board, right? Then we can look at the requirements for the 'Programmer Analyst' job and see what exactly is so specialized that no US college graduate is capable of accomplishing.
Weirdly, even though they filled over 33,000 of this job merely 2 years ago (an average of almost 100 jobs filled per day!) There is only 1 single job posting for a 'Programmer Analyst'[3]
Even weirder! the requirements for this job:
>Requirement: Basic computer knowledge, Good Communication skills and willing to work in night shifts
Well, that doesnt seem like such a demanding position to me....
Infosys had 0 job listings under that same title, TATA's careers site has no job listings at all[4]
But yeah, maybe you are right, maybe its just a coincidence that the top H1B job title has only 1 single listing across the top 3 H1B visa employers. Better keep letting them hire immigrants, since those stupid college grads 'cant code to save their lives' as you so put it.
