#1 H-1B program originally was to bring in a limited number of foreign workers to fill positions that did not have American workers available to fill. Some where along the way the government changed that drastically to destroy the American middle class instead.

#2 One of the biggest problems of hiring an H-1B foreign worker to write proprietary software for your company is the code "somehow" makes it back to that workers country, resold to buyers in that country for huge sims to the worker who stole it from the American company he is working for. And they also allow foreigners access to the American company's internal systems through "back doors" over the internet during the middle of the night for another fee. I have seen that happen first hand.

#4 Well, we either have a free market or don't and have protectionism. While Americans are graduating with degrees in "Urban History" and "Women's Literature from the 1950's" and want their student loans forgiven thereby throwing out centuries of contract law, foreigners are learning real skills. And if companies accept the risk that any proprietary software (Linux users excepted) makes its way back to the home nation of the H-1B visa recipient, then that's on the company (and in the end, just too g-d damn bad).
