No, if there are Americans to fill the jobs, then H1B visas are not issued.

There are many, many ways to get around that. I learned all about that in 2002, when I and many other American IT workers were laid off during the 2002 IT slump and over a quarter-million H1-B visas were still issued.

The very obvious solution is to put the minimum salary of 150k on each H1B job. Hard to drive down wages that way.
