Let’s see the starting salaries and benefits packages for the H-1Bs vs new US-national hires.

They’re not hiring the H-1Bs because they are paid more.

H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Replace Americans with Cheap Foreign Workers
H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Pay Foreign Workers Extremely Low Wages

>>They’re not hiring the H-1Bs because they are paid more

Uhuh.

Nothing like having their feet dangling over the starving teeth of the caste system for motivation.

Who do these companies think is going to be buying their products. If they fire Americans we won’t have any money.

In 20 years America will be the third world country with low wage workers.

I work with a lot of these H1-B visa "replacements" and find that for the most part, they are vastly sup-standard to the workers they replace, and are not worth the "savings" they are advertised to bring.
The decision being made to do this action is by "financial bean-counters" who buy the lie (or bribe) from the sales reps of these companies that supply the replacement workers, to the detriment of their own companies.
I suspect these decision makers jump ship soon after they throw their US employees over the side and finish putting the holes in the hull of their current employer.

And I’ll bet their bottom line barely moves up.

They’re hiring them for being easily controlled individuals.
