Silicon Valley tech companies as a whole are 71% foreign-born [1]. Cupertino itself is 57.4% foreign-born [2]. I've been on teams at Google where I was the only U.S. citizen, out of 10 (the others were from Iceland, the UK, Vietnam, Taiwan, 2 India, and 3 China). Canada is another big contributor as well - out of my immediate neighborhood of ~60 coworkers, 5 were Canadian. The largest groups within SV tech are actually green-card holders or naturalized citizens. H-1Bs are only about 8%, U.S. citizens about 20-50% depending on company.
