The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay.

In practice definitely, but that is not the nominal purpose of the law, which is (supposedly) to fill positions for which no American candidates can be found.

To fill positions for which no American candidates can be found, at the low price we’re willing to pay.

There, fixed it for you. ;-)

All that matters is price.

The H1-B is nothing more than a cheap labor visa. The H1-B visa needs to be destroyed & those in the country on the H1-B need to be returned to their country of origin.
