Why do you think corporations and the government like the H1B visa program. Anyone notice average salaries in the tech industry aren't going up???

Anyone notice that average wages haven't been going up anywhere since 1977 when we hit peak wages?

There are a lot of reasons for that and most of them have nothign to do with immigration.
