Agreed. In the process of sponsoring green cards for prospective candidates, we go through the process of trying to find US citizens that could fill the role. This is a requirement of the labor certification process. We rarely, if ever, find _any_ US citizen that applies for these positions. Most applicants are immigrants, which makes us reject them (since the exercise is to really see if we can find citizens). These are not low-paying grunt jobs. These are highly-specialized, very well paid positions.
