I absolutely refuse to believe that there's a single "high tech" job in this country that can't be very properly filled by a US citizen or by someone with a Green Card.

H1-B visas are clearly meant to get the same work done for one-third the cost.

An Indian national making $25,000 a year is among the top 0.2% of wage earners in India...and that's what it's all about in Silicon Valley (and elsewhere).

There certainly aren't anywhere near enough such jobs to justify 65,000 new H-1B visas every year.

or by someone with a Green Card.

I don't care what they call or color the piece of paper a foreigner uses to steal an American's job - it's wrong in every case.

Yes, and? If i’m an employer, I would go with equal skills for one-third the cost. Or three times the manpower for the same cost. It’s called capitalism.
