They're not really screwing anyone over. They had already come here legally, graduated from American universities, and gotten jobs appropriately. At this point, they have their jobs and there's no 'screwing anyone over' - if anyone has been disadvantaged, it was them for not winning the H1-B lottery.

  I don't follow. A student visa shouldn't imply they get a US job at all, and it's somewhat concerning it works like that.

    You don't think foreign nationals who study and graduate in the US, pay taxes, yada yada, should be allowed to seek employment here?

      No, I do not. It encourages sniping workers instead of training our own.
