Well, if they keep Americans out of jobs for long enough then the rate they have to pay, as required by law, goes down. — So, if three H-1Bs are put into every American position (let’s assume there’s still some, so a 3:1 ratio) the reduction in wages for that job is 2/3rds.
I would cheerfully work for half my last actual paycheck. (Which coincidentally is about 1/3 of the last start-up’s fictitious and never actually paid salary!)
