The H1B corporate crime against american workers has driven down wages and destroyed employment opportunities, as it was intended to do. They fire hundreds of experienced and dedicated workers in a single department, replace them with inexperienced low wage foreign workers. Then your patriotic billionaire corporate CEO heroes tell the Congress that there aren’t enough skilled American workers to fill their glorious “hi-tech” positions, and ask for MORE H1B visas.
This is driven by corporate America NOT the government.
Interesting. I am on a H1b visa. I work as a health professional for a large university teaching hospital. I've only been here for one year, and in that time, two positions like mine were posted and both candidates (Americans) dumped the job after a month. We are unionized and on salary scales, so I'm not exactly than the domestic workforce.

Why did they dump the job?
People don't oppose the H1B program per se. They oppose the abuse of the program. A company firing all its US citizen techies, and replacing them with cheaper H1B's is an abuse of the program. The program was never intended to be used that way. It's a loophole Congress has closed its eyes to. That doesn't mean H1B workers are the enemy. They (you) are not. It's an American management issue, not a foreign-worker issue.

This is not a common occurrence... especially not at large companies. You can't fire people and replace them with h1b employees at a large scale without getting flagged.

If that is what you believe - time for some research.

Please provide a specific example of this happening.
