alt Hacker News> whether a disproportionate fraction of new jobs are being given to immigrants vs eligible Americans I don't see how this is useful.
This is bound to happen as you run out of people in the US. I don't think it's useful to prove a problem unless top US graduates start losing jobs to immigrants that outcompete them for lower salaries that they can live on because of lower educational debt.

nobody honest can say we ran out of US citizens that can work the type of jobs H1B do. Unemployment in the industry is not zero. Top graduates from MIT and Stanford? Sure, they can't make enough of them, but as a whole the industry is using H1B to lower cost of labor, not to fill a hole that simply doesn't exist.
Start? It's been going strongly for at least 20 years! We're now in the endgame of it.
