Plenty of H1B holders create jobs as well. The economy isn't a pie of fixed size with everyone fighting over a limited number of slices. Overall, immigration has been a net boon to the US's economy, including the creation of many jobs.

Net boon to the economy in terms of GDP, but it does have some negative effects on wages and employment.

  Not necessarily. A lot of immigrants are job creators. Think of how many startup founders are foreign, and have created a lot of money and jobs for a lot of people. Hell, look at how well represented foreigners are in the upper echelons of the FAANGs. Even Sergey Brin was born in Moscow.

    > A lot of immigrants are job creators. And a lot aren't. There's a reason you throw away outliers in statistics.

      If every job creator is an outlier, and you throw away all outliers, then there should be zero jobs in existence. Clearly your methodology is flawed.
