If I spent all this time doing engineering and I can’t get a job because of some foreigner, I will be pissed.

I worked in Japan for 14 years. Their equivalent of the H-1B's was simple: Import all the foreign workers you want. But if they are as great as you say they are, you will be required to prove it by paying them at least a 10% premium over the going wage for the industry. And, by the way, they are free to move to another company willing to pay them more.

The result was a lot fewer and better paid foreign workers. I got frequent calls from other companies and changed once. When I was no longer worth the premium wage, then it was time for me and my family to come back to the United States.
