Lol, your old man school that you walked uphill in the snow both ways to didn't serve you very well if you think we get H1-Bs for any reason other than educated foreign workers being cheaper than US workers.

The H1-B part was more or less tongue-in-cheek, but look at the tech industry today: I am sure one would rather take a pay cut than a few months of severance pay and $2400 a month unemployment.

And I agree with you: H1-Bs were meant for people with skills that could not be found stateside, but that wasn't true for a long time (and probably from the very beginning).
