Its stupid to begin with, if you can't fill a skill, train somebody, the federal government does this for gigs that require security clearance. You never need to go outside the country for talent. The h1b program enables age discrimination, once you hit 40 you are pushed out for young immigrant labor, the position was occupied but they want to save money so out you go to poverty just when the IRS was counting on you hitting your peak earning power. Now people peak out at 28 in earning power with the extreme levels of age discrimination we see today.

> You never need to go outside the country for talent. I'm a natural-born citizen with plenty of friends who were unlucky to be born elsewhere. I want to work with them. Can't the government accommodate my simple desire to work with my friends locally?

  You know, as an American citizen you are more likely able to get a work visa to go and work close to your friends.

  There are plenty of citizens who desire to have work. Can't the government accommodate their simple desire to be able to support their families?

"You never need to go outside the country for talent" The simple fact that you are selling on a global market means that YOU DO need outside talents...

How long will it take to "train somebody" if you need to translate technical documentation from English to Japanese? Some of foreign countries have free education. Why not hire their best graduates? They don't have to pay back student loans and can therefore comfortably accept lower salaries than their US counterparts.
