And furthermore, business owners get tax credits for hiring foreigners here on work visas, but none for hiring Americans. That's just a damn crime.

Actually the subsidy is indirect, often when a position is filled by an H1B visa holder a good part of the compensation package is expense money rather than wages. the one who employs the HIB worker still deducts it just like wages, but the money received to cover expenses is not taxable. So the American worker is placed at a disadvantage vis a vis the H1B worker. The US Treasury does lose revenue as a result of the outsourcing, and the employer gets even cheaper labor as a result. It takes a little sleight of hand but the employer does get subsidized.
