They always have. My experience as a consultant years ago was they would interview Americans, then pick the Indian H1B. The result obvious. They are not the only Indian supplying company to play this game. Shame on the American companies that hire staff through them.

They have really taken down IT career and wage growth. Years ago, a student could write their own ticket with IT skills. Not the case today.
The problem really begins before the H-1B Visa stage of the immigration pipeline. There are NO LIMITS ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENT VISAS that can be issued, and there are programs for recent foreign student grads that give them an edge in being hiring by US companies...Because there are so many students recruited from China, University of Illinois is casually referred to as University of China at Illinois...
Often the IT companies claim there are not US workers who can fill the jobs...Of course what they really mean is US workers who will work for a pittance.
IMHO If we don’t have US students who can fill IT openings, then we need to look at our K-12 education system as to why they are not educating students who can go on to obtain competitive degrees. students.
The whole immigration pipeline needs to be overhauled!!
