If a company wants to cut labor costs and move, open the new facility and train the people in the new location.  Do not bring them in on a visa meant for skilled labor, make someone train their replacement and then fire them.<p>Personally, I would like to see the H1-B system go away&#x2F;become unavailable to large body shops and consulting firms.  All they are doing is the scenario outlined above.<p>Some companies are good, some, like IBM which are attempting to cater to the daily whims of Wall Street, not so much.
