That "People" are doing it? I'd accept that is happening as a basic common sense principle without any real need for proof.

But that is not the issue, is it? the claim is that there is some kind of fraud epidemic over-running the H1-B visa program. You want to make a claim like that, show me hard data. I've seen exactly one person try and do that, and the "study" they presented was just some guy who took really non-specific wage data for things like "programmers" and decided they didn't match up to his satisfaction while ignoring that "programmer" covers a hell of a lot of ground and the two data sets he was comparing weren't intended for 1 to 1 comparisons to each other.
