the intent and spirit of law is that the companies are hiring H1Bs for positions that could otherwise not be filled in sufficient quantity by Americans. Companies and Customers win, and American labor should experience no measurable harm. Not that I would but one could even argue that the way that AppleGoogleFacebookMicrosoft use them to hire students is even okay since they probably cannot fill the volume they need with American STEM grads. This end-run with the outsourcers is a particularly egregious perversion of the law because they're bringing H1Bs with the intent to fire and replace Americans. There's also an angle of age-ism where they are firing older IT professionals in their 40s, 50s, 60s who have accrued higher pay-grades , and replacing them with less productive but much less costly young foreigners. Only losers are employees who need quality IT help, but who cares about that.
