here in DMV there are many many US citizens available for software development jobs.  
Maybe your DH should be posting the details because if he can't find americans there is some constraint, maybe clearances are required?  or maybe they want developers under 30? or maybe they are looking for the purple squirrel of specific arcane tech knowledge and company will not train?   or maybe they only pay 60K a year?
there are lots of smart capable people available in DMV area[/quote]

Sure there are. And I deal with many of them, unfortunately some as employees.
Typically the major concern is leaving the office at 5 PM, better to find a good reason to leave earlier.
Kid's football game, wedding anniversary, mother's birthday, sister's nuptials, PTA, whatever.
Maximize every long weekend and holiday, personal day and vacation.
Even offering more money works not - they have enough.
Think of early retirement starting at 30.

Au contraire, immigrants typically WORK. Holidays, weekends, nights, Christmas break, whatever.
They came here to WORK and EARN and move UP, and they always want just one thing - MORE and UP.
More work and more advancement. I've never had one asking me for time off, but dozens asking for more overtime.
They are not necessarily better qualified (many are worse) or have unique skills (most don't), 
but showing up is 80% of winning as said.
Sure there are exceptions both ways, but some 90% are that way in either case.

That is not ONLY because immigrants are desperate for GC ore because Indians or Russians somehow smarter,
or better educated, or work harder in their countries: they aren't and don't, or their countries would be above USA.
It is self-selection of people who come here. Those willing to give up their friends, family, native language, familiar food and culture, 
etc. to jump through the hoops and suffer immigration indignities to MOVE UP.

I am one, former H-1B. I am a US citizen for 10 years now, desperate for nothing. 
It is Sunday, nice day outside. I am at work (as always), writing this in my lunch break at my desk.

If you call that "compliant workforce", so be it. [/quote]

and this is exactly what I want for my children.  More people like this in our culture.    :(

I have worked with many people like PP and not only are they arrogant like this poster, many are the most racist people I know.  Think blacks are degenerates and hispanics are for physical labor only.   The major Indian bodyshops, like Infosys, are the most racist firms in the US.  Murthy, the CEO, has said that they need to be multi-cultural.  They have been sued for racism.  Try to find an african american at Infosys.

[b]"I think by and large, the Indian mindset is always to take the soft option. Becoming multi-cultural is a very, very hard option, it's not easy. Our managers will have to learn with non-Indian professionals, how to get the best out of them, how to work in teams that are multi-cultural, how to make sure that we understand the rules of crossing cultures," Infosys CEO, Narayana Murthy said.[/b]
