H1B visas have a similar effect of promoting longer employments and lower wages compared to the local workforce with regular liberty.



"similar effect"s are not relevant here. H1B are free to go back to their home country at will.


That assumes a lot of things that aren't true of the H1B holders I've met through work.


Do you mean financially they aren't able to? To me that's a different situation than literally not allowed to leave by your employer, because they won't return your passport.


I am on H1B and know tons and tons of people who are on it. you can absolutely pack your bags and leave the very same day if you wish.
