This is why U.S. firms hire consultants to publish classified job ads in local U.S. papers, with goal of not finding any applicants.
At least that's what a report on the [link|http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/|Information Clearing House] alleges.
[link|http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17909.htm|Here], you'll find a nice little video in which immigration attorneys from a firm, Cohen & Grigsby, explain how they help employers post job ads that no-one will apply for so that the firms can then use these in evidence when helping bring in workers from abroad.
"Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week," it claims. \ufffd
