It's a "problem" if you hear this and think, "Wow I want more of those people".
It's not a "problem" if you hear this and think, "Yeah, it should be hard for them".
Ultimately, people explicitly disagree with your initial position and framing.

No one is saying it "should" be hard for foreign students to get a job in academia, my point was academia has ample domestic labour, so even if H1B salaries are raised, the research attempted is unaffected. Wanting more researchers is well and good, there just aren't enough jobs and funding for them in the current STEM academic market (which is completely separate from any H1B related issue), hence the rather large number of people who move to industry.
