When the law that allowed them to come here "legally" is dubious at best. The premise of the H1B was that there were not enough skilled american workers to fill the jobs, so we HAVE to let in foreigners who have no ties to this country, have no interest in immigrating, but only want to hit the lotto fora few years and go back to india to live off their spoils afterward....

Unfortunately this was never true, there was never a high tech worker shortage, and frankly the H1B program helped cause the economic tech downturn to be even worse than it needed to be.

Immigrants are more than welcome, come here, and become an american... but that was not the goal of any of the H1Bs.

Well, I know many people who have used the H1-B visas for exactly that, to stay and become US citizens.
